Honestly, don't pay attention to that Windows Experience thing. It takes readings from current loads on your parts. For Example, I ran it when I did a fresh install and I hit around there. About a year later, I did it with almost 2 full HDDS, and a few start up programs running and It dropped almost .4 points.

Looks like within the margin of error for the assessment.
That looks about right for your parts.
I would not worry.

also the ratings get updated over time, although normally it goes down, but a change in calc could make it go up. but generally its rubbish.

Well, it would be better to create your own thread about this issue, but I'll help you out.

Usually when a Program "Has Stopped Working", it can mean different things. There could be a corrupt file within the game/program you're trying to play, The game is trying to access more memory than you have installed, Your GPU memory is maxing out, Your CPU is under 100% load and cant process anymore, etc.

I need you to answer a few questions for me so I know where to start.
-What game were you playing when this happened?
-Does it happen on different games/programs?
-How often does it happen?
-What are the current Specs of your computer(That you know of)?

Answer those and I'll see what I can do.

*EDIT* By the way, for future reference, Copying the games to an external has a chance of corrupting the game data on the Registry level. Meaning, don't run the game on your external, copy it to the game's ORIGINAL install path, then run it. If an error shows or the game crashes at that point or while in the external, you have to manually add the installpath by using regedit.

On the RAM part, is it 6gb or 16gb?

And your'e right. You should be able to run most games fine. The graphics card memory is a little low for games now, but it shouldn't cause them to crash.

What I think you should do is this:
-Download CCleaner from https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner and install it.
-Click "Registry" and then "Scan for issues"
-If anything shows up, delete them by hitting "Fix All Issues" It will ask you if you want to backup, I say yes for the first time.
-Run it about 2-3 more times or until there is no more errors appearing.
-Restart Computer

***The reason for this is because a lot of game crashes come from registry errors as well as corrupted files within the game files itself. CCleaner cleans up a lot of clutter and registry errors.***

Once your computer is up and running, try playing a game. Let me know if the problem still persists.

*EDIT* When it gives you the Blue Screen, What does it say? Ex. Memory Management, etc.

That's good to hear. Yeah a bad memory stick can cause so many issues while still attempting to work. Let me know of any crashes, if any, after you pulled the stick of RAM.

No problem!

Also! If the RAM is still under a warranty from the manufacturer, you can always call them and request an RMA for that stick so you can get a new one.
