If you're having problems with a Steam game, try this: right click on the game in your library and select Properties. This will check to make sure the files on your PC match the files that should've been downloaded when you installed the game. If anything's missing, Steam will download it for you. This one's another longshot, but worth ruling out early on. If it's not a Steam game, you may want to try reinstalling the whole thing.
Use a different hard drive if you can. If you're getting a specific error message, pop it into Google and see what you find, paying special attention to the news bar at the top. If the issue is widespread, it's possible that we or another website have written about it, sometimes with a comment from the developer on what to do, or when it'll be fixed. If you're trying to play an online game and it runs, but you're getting an error when connecting to the server, it is highly likely that the developer is having server problems.
Usually you'll get a specific error code that you can drop into Google, where you'll find that everyone else is experiencing the same thing. And if you can't reach Google, then the problem is with your internet connection.
If it's a Steam game that's giving you issues, right-click on it and hit View Community Hub. From there, hit the Discussions tab. If your problem is widespread enough, you'll find other people having the same issue.
Someone may have found a fix, or the developer may have responded to say that it's aware of the issue and is working on a patch. If you don't find any help there, also look for the game's forum outside of Steam, probably on the official website.
Usually there'll be a tech support section, sometimes with a pinned post at the top describing issues the developer is aware of, or common workarounds. If no one else has posted about the issue you're having, you can create a post of your own. Be sure to include your PC specs as well as your Windows and video driver versions, and any error code you're seeing when the game crashes. If you find a fix later on, let others on the forum know what you did.
Doing so makes you a PC gaming hero. If you've made it this far, and other games run fine, then the problem likely isn't on your end. You meet the minimum specs, your drivers are up-to-date, you've disabled any software that might be interfering with the game, and you've checked the forums for fixes with no success. It's time to contact support directly.
Also, check if there is a pending update for your game, which is mandatory. You must have heard people saying that "some games crash my computer. If that's the cause of the problem, check the minimum requirements for the game including:.
Review the specs and see what you can do. If the PC keeps crashing during games and eventually stops running at all, then the possible cause is outdated video drivers. Windows 10 has many driver compatibility issues from the start, and these issues are not resolved yet. So, it will be better to keep the video drivers up-to-date. Right-click on the driver, and you will see the Update Driver option. If it is a new game that you downloaded from the internet and then PC crashes while playing games, it indicates the presence of a virus or malware.
Some malware steals the CPU resources leading to crashing problems. For this purpose, we suggest that you perform a scan of the system using Windows Defender or other third-party Anti-virus software.
Hit the "Scan Now" button and wait until the process finishes. Some users mentioned on quora that "my PC games keep crashing," to which other users have suggested running the game in Admin Mode.
So, maybe this is the solution you need. Select the application and right-click on it. There you will see the Run as Administrator. Select the option and launch the game from the Admin account. See if this fixes the crashing problem or not. If any of the ways mentioned above don't seem to work, then Windows Update could be an optimal way to resolve the issue. Hopefully, this will stop the computer crashing while playing games. Just follow the steps below:. There on the left side panel, you will find the Windows Update option.
Windows OS will automatically start downloading the update and install it. To implement the changes made by the update, you can either choose "Restart Now" or "Schedule the restart. As soon as the update is installed, the problem will cease to exist, and the game will start working as usual.
It happens a lot that computer crashes during games, and people end up losing important files due to this. But now that Recoverit Data Recovery software is here to help, you don't have to worry about application crashing or system crashing on your computer. The software follows a straightforward process to recover lost or deleted files. However, I experienced the same freeze and crash. I got a little suspicious at this point, so I loaded up Portal 2 and Half-Life 2, both of which I have played before with no performance issues whatsoever.
I checked out Sleeping Dogs and a couple other games, none of which are experiencing any sort of crash. So, my question is, has anyone else experienced freezes and crashes with Valve games only, and if so, did you find a solution to this? Showing 1 - 15 of 18 comments.
Nobody has any ideas about this? Valve based products are having a lot of trouble. Something on Valve's end. So are other people having the same issue? I've been Googling and checking the forums and I haven't really seen anybody that seems to be having the same thing not anybody recently, anyway. It happened randomly not for 12 hours and sometimes in 30 minutes. Also I have Windows 7 bit now. I hadn't installed anything new when these crashes started happening. I had TF2 installed on my computer for a long time, but only decided to play it the other day.
Then, after the freezing in TF2, all my other Valve games started to freeze. No idea what the deal is. Finally somebody who has the same problem.
