    I'm not sure if it's my software.

    Hi,
    recently I've been having a very bad problem. Whenever I play a game or even with some programs my computer works normally for the first 15-30 minutes and then it just freezes. Basically this is it.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi

    The next time you play a game, after 10 minutes and doing the normal tasks you do on it, switch the game off and then open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) and look under the "Performance" tab for the Total and Peak values under Commit Charge (K)

    Report them back please.

    It drastically decreases every time I try to play 10 minutes. The las time was 3 min before it froze so I'm going to give you other results

    After everything loads and my computer is fully ready:
    Total - around 300 000-310 000
    Peak - 405 388

    After the max possible I could play (2-5 min):
    Total - around 295 000
    Peak - 405 388

    Please help me fast because I'm almost ready to destroy my "PC" (I've lost so much respect for it that I can't eaven call it a PC)

    Hi

    Well that shows your maximum RAM usage doesn't ever at any moment (in such session) go beyond 405MB.

    Download Sensors View

    Install and then run it, keep extra other applications running, do a little bit of gaming, switch games off and then note down the temperatures, fan speeds and voltages please.

    Report those back.

    Well I fixed it and it turned out that it was my overclocking that was doing that. My CPUs default speed is 1.75 GHz and I canged it to 2.1 GHz.

    Thanks anyway

    Overlocking produces extra strain and overheating.

    If you want to overlock, go in smaller quantities, increase voltage slightly, run a benchmark and CPU testing such as Prime95 to test if your CPU is stable at that frequency under heavier loads and increase your cooling without doubt.

    Glad you got sorted.
