games crashing

had a game crash on me a few weeks ago. thought it was buggy but just had a different game crash on me. did driver and windows updates. tried scf /scannow. ran furmark and windows memory diagnostic. what else can i try?

Please fill out your System Specs





The free version of Speccy, will help you with that.

Well, you can try a clean install of the Nvidia driver...

DDU Instructions - Nvidia
1. Get this program, here: Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) | Wagnardsoft ...get the latest version, and save it to your desktop.
2. Get the DCH/Game Ready vid card driver here, use the Manual Search: Advanced Driver Search | NVIDIA ...save this to your desktop.

Unhook the internet completely.
3. Reboot into Safe Mode and run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) choose the "Highly Recommend Option", and just do what it tells you.
4. After it's done, reboot to normal mode, then just double click the Nvidia driver to install.
[See pics below]. If it want's to reboot, let it.
Rehook the internet.











The only other things I can think of would be do a clean install of the game(s).
Or check the temperatures of the CPU and GPU. You can use SPECCY for that.


You could also check your Windows drive, with Crystal Disk Info... (get the portable .ZIP version)
