Recurring crashes that occur while playing games such as: CSS, L4D, SC
Basically while playing games like CSS or SC2 my computer while crash and loop the last sound that was playing. Also the screen will generally go black with brown or green lines running vertically down the monitor.
I had this issue before when I had windows vista but I upgraded to windows 7 last year and thought the problem was gone unfortunately the upgraded did not fix the problem. I don't think the problem is one with my computer not being able to run these games since I can run games like Skyrim on high graphics settings fine for hours.
If possible I would very much appreciate it if someone explained how to find and extract kernel dumps or small dump files that I could post here for someone to help me out with.
Just to clarify I am not getting a BSOD, my computer just freezes or crashes if you will. Because of this I cannot find any dump files in %SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP even when I search for it with the run application.
