Hello,

I would like to start off by saying that I am new here and I am a beginner in general when it comes to these types of issues so please be patient with me.

I will post what I can find myself about my system, I do know that it is dated and that will porbably be the reason that I am having problems.

In the last few months I have been interested in making the switch from console to PC gaming. I have been playing Hearthstone for about a year now and want to try some other games out. I have been able to play Hearthstone on my system for the past year when I play it in windowed mode and lower settings, but I still sometimes ran into BSOD. Last week I changed my graphics card and hearthstone generally runs withouth any problems but I have downloaded LoL and also bought Diablo 3. LoL will usually crash and restart my system and Diablo will either crash and restart or crash to a grey screen then restart my system. Ive ran both games on low settings and can play them for a little while but eventually I usually get the same issue.

As I said, im guessing the problems are due to my system being old. I am willing to spend some money on the system so any upgrade suggestions would be appreciated, but I am not looking to play Battlefield and such games on ultra settings. I want a modest system that can run games such as the ones I have mentioned.

My system:

Intel core 2 Quad CPU @ 2.40GHz
4.00GB RAM
Radeon RX 460 4.00gb Graphics Card (new card)
Windows 7 64-bit

If you need and more system info you may have to tell me where to find it because as I said I am a noob.

Thank you in advance.



 


It all dpends really on what I need. As i said I am willing to spend a bit of money so i can run games such as Diable and LoL. I dont need something top end. Do you have any suggestions? thanks for the reply.

 


Thank you for the suggestion, not too pricy either! i have also been told it my be a PSU problem, would it be worth upgrading that too?
