Games crashing Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit.
I recently upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium. I decided to do a full reformat on the computer and to start fresh again, after I installed Windows 7 i updated my drivers etc...
Now i have a huge problem... whenever i'm playing games like World of Warcraft or Minecraft, my computer screen will just freeze after a few minutes of gameplay. The longest time I had playing was about 10 minutes until the crash occured. I have no idea why this is happening, my computer was running just fine before i upgraded to Windows Vista.
I also heard this problem could be happening by a low power PSU, but my PSU is 750W.
I called Dell to see if I could get any help, but nothing got accomplished.
My specs are:
