When the game starts, I have no problem untill the actual game, when you can move free etc., starts and my graphic card crashes and resets, even if I play on the lowest resolution with all the graphic qualtiy's on very low. Other games that are less graphical can only be played on very low settings or the same problem ocures.
What could be the problem?

My desktop is the one below:
HP Pavilion HPE h8-1309eb
Windows 7 Home Premium

Thanks in advance.

At a guess I'd say your PC isn't up to gaming at all. Fill in your system specs as linked in my signature.

The 7570 isn't really a gaming card to be honest, it's entry range at best. It's probably down to the game being too demanding for the card, check the temperatures when it's under load as heating could be the issue but I doubt it.

Temperature only raises a bit when I play it.
Is there a graphic card that fits my desktop that is good for gaming?

Can you get a photo of the inside of the PC? I'd have to look up the specs of the card and PC to see what would fit.

You'll have trouble fitting a better GPU in there, the newer performance GPUs are quite large. One thing you might try looking at are your CPU temps, that stock cooler won't be doing a very good job of cooling your CPU when it's under load, and aftermarket cooler would be much better. Let us know the temps.

And if I would buy a bigger case, are there parts I could recover, and how much do the parts I have to buy cost?

Hi,
Well cases are pretty cheap running between 80-150.us
You would have to also get a new modular power supply which again is fairly docile a good one for around 150.us

Your mother board in that case is actually upside down compared to a normal atx case would be = power supply on bottom left,

New wiring would come with the new power supply
A new case would have a false wall behind the mother board where wiring loops though and just the ends pop out holes where the connects are made,

cpu cooler in a new case with a new power supply minimum 750w
I would use a Corsair liquid cooler personally they range about 100-150.us depending on which one you get double length or single.

Then more case fans about 30.us a pair.

Plenty of examples here,
