I was trying some demos on STEAM, specifically a couple "Dark Pictures Anthology" demos, and thought the issue was just with that particular companies' demos, but it happened with two unrelated ones. I am not knowledgeable of the inter-workings of computers. So, I asked on the STEAM discussion board, and after trying a few things one user suggested I post here and reference the thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1194630/discussions/0/2988663148725318328/
Sidenote: When I had an issue with my old graphics card, it just made the game at the time-Thief-stutter, but never crash or restart my system in such a manner. As did FFXV, to which I needed more memory. This...I don't know what is going on.
