because it just crashes. sometimes it says "Memory couldn't be readen" and the other time it just pops up a window that says: sorry this crash occuried. blaaablaabla.
Specs:
Windows 10
i7 3770 4 core
AMD Radeon HD 7950
16gb ddr3
Asus P8Z77 vl-x
Corsair cx600 power supply ( I think )
I've already tried reinstalling the whole computer
Please help!! I cant play a single game!!!
 
Solution
Download the newest driver, then click on the icon, the driver will ask you if you want to modify your install, or if you want to un-install, at least it should do that. I just looked through my program list in revo-uninstaller and found my nvidia driver with no problems, but I don't know what AMD is calling their video driver.
I'm quite certain the issue your having is drivers. You might have to download an old driver, say the one you had a month ago, sometimes a new driver conflicts somehow, it happens.

are they called crimson drivers now? they used to be catalyst, changed the name of their drivers long after I ceased using an AMD card.
What sort of crash matters a good deal. If it's always rebooting your whole system, it could be PSU related, if it's just a crash to desktop, then it's software related(either the program or your drivers), and if it gives you bsods, then you need to analyze the crash dumps for more info.

desktop crashing is either your drivers, of the game(program itself). if it just started recently, then we ask the question, what has changed since it started happening? was there a driver update? I'm guessing that's the culprit, since it's happening to almost all your games. download revo-uninstaller, use that program to do a clean uninstall of your graphics drivers, then reinstall and let us know from there, if the issue persists.
while you're at it, if you have a registry cleaner, I'd recommend you use it, if you don't already.
