My system keep crashing every ~12 minutes or so when I'm running applications (definitely games) to this screen:

Also, games, specifically League of Legends keep crashing with error reports.

I recently upgraded my system, and this has been the first few hours on it. I put in as SSD, and after cloning it (which failed, the windows would blink uncontrllably) I popped in the Windows 7 CD and set up windows. I then upgraded to windows 10.

After installing my new SSD, I left my HDD in for extra storage. I proceeded to Move files from my HDD to my SSD, like just drag and dropping games and what not into my SSD, so they would run faster.

Is this a problem? I experienced some problems witin games doing this? Does right clicking delete on a select folder of files actually delete them?

And if I did screw up by doing this, I do remember the files I dragged and dropped, so how do you recommend I fix this issue?

Specs of my new system: (if relevant):

CPU: i5 3570k @ 3.40 GHz
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 970 GAMING ME100
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16 GB (2x8 GB) ddr3 2400 MHz
Cooling: H60 Corsair Hydro Cooling
PSU: ATX ULT-LSP650
Motherboard: GA-Z77-DS3H
SSD: Kingston 256 GB
HDD: IDK, 1 TB
Display: @ mointor set up, 1 via DVI-D, one via DVI-D to VGA (adapter)

Is there something wrong with the drivers? Because I'm running windows from a new drive, so all those games that installed other stuff along with them, may not be on the SSD, so how do I fix that?

Please help!!
Thanks in advance!!

It's not a good idea to just drag and drop game files or apps like that.
Its best you install the games or apps afresh so they install correctly and registry entries are made. Some work most don't. Also don't forget too that saved games are very often put into a different directory and doing what you have done would break DLL links.

You should backup your important files to your SSD. Obtain the downloaded .EXE files in your Downloads directory for installation or re download.

BTW, your games will not run faster just because they are on an SSD. The SSD will give you faster boot times and run your Windows snappier.

As far as your drivers are concerned, you can check in Device Manager to see if any require updates. If there are yellow...

Right clicking on folders and files will give you options and one is to delete.
Deleted files are sent to your recycle bin and can be recovered.
