Are those games legal or did you download them?

 

[Pijamo]

both actually...... skyrim no but the others like prototype 2, avatar the game, etc are legit

You should be able to play these games without a problem at the resolution you mentioned -- as stated above it might be a software issue.

Anyway, as you are running it on a 64 bit system, then get some more ram -- 8GB is recommended for games.

When you can get a better graphic card.

Could you describe the crashes? It's definitely not specs related: all the stuff seems compatible and fulfills minimum game requirements.

 

[Pijamo]

actually budget is really tight right now so cant spend that much bucks on gaming but the thing is the games are well over the recommended requirements.... but i still cant pin point the problem... i cant even run cod4:mw1... it crashes back to desktop like mentioned earlier but that game runs is pcs with specs much much lower than even mine.. i updated my drivers,bios and even formated mt pc to xp dan win7 32bit and than returned to 64 bit as the same problem occured sooo can you pleas suggest me how to fix it.... ieven ran memtest and checked my hd for bad sectors.... pleas help

What happens during the crashes? How do they crash?

 

[Pijamo]

it just closes back to my desktop... usually on the startup of the game for example when i run cod:mw3 it rums for 4-5 secs than goes back to my desktop with the msg iw5sp.exe has stopped working.... similarly with most games

What about other games? How do they crash?

 

[Pijamo]

quite similar (skyrim, cod:mw, avatar the game)... prototype 2 stopped working halfway and act in the same manner so does assasins creed... suprsingly fifa13 works quite well

Download HWMonitor from here:

http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

Run it and then launch the game. Play it until the game crashes. Then maximize HWMonitor window, take a screenshot of it, upload it to imageshack.us (don't forget to select "Do not resize" option) and post the link here.

here it is thanks for ua time btw

 

[Sunius]

Are you sure you turned the HWMonitor on before turning on the game and did the screenshot after the game crashed?

 

[Pijamo]

yup the game dont run long just a few secs

 

[Sunius]

Okay, could you download Prime95 and Furmark, run In-place Large FFTs test and Furmark Burn-in test? When you do that, could you go to task manager, processes tab, find prime95.exe, right click it, go to priority and set it to low? When you do that, leave it running for 15-20 minutes and after that tell me whether it crashes in that time or not. Also, have HWMonitor running in the background all the time, and post a screenshot of it when you're done.

any the tho software didnt crash thru the tym.....

 

[Sunius]

OK so it shouldn't be hardware issue.

Could you try reinstalling either of your game? I mean delete it totally from your hard drive and reinstall it freshly.

 

[Pijamo]

i tried that before..... i even did a fresh format yesterdae to win7

 

[Sunius]

And they are still crashing? Are those steam game versions? Which graphics card driver version are you running?

 

[Pijamo]

nope i got it thru frenz that are running them flawless

 

[Sunius]

What? Frenz? What's that?

I'd suggest you download Steam from http://store.steampowered.com/ and install a free game - like Team Fortress 2. Check if that game is crashing. If it's not, then it means your games are corrupted - just enter their CD keys to steam and it will download the proper versions which will not crash.
