Windows 7 Computer Crashes During Gameplay

So, I understand I have an old laptop that I have been doing repairs to myself which has made it able to last past four years so far, heres the issue I am having though.
I could be playing just about any game and will play for maybe 10 minutes then the screen goes black then shuts off on me. I ran CPU-Z & HWMonitor and the temp shows CPU is at about 75C. I had just installed a new HDD as the old one became corrupt and
stopped working, installed windows 7 perfectly fine on it no problem. Battery status reads as "Good" and I had just cleaned out the fan of any settling dust. I am not sure if needed but here are the specs below.
-Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit) with Intel Core i7 processor, Q740 @ 1.73GHz (8 CPUs), 6 Gigs of RAM (6144MB RAM)
Either or, I am probably going to sell it for what I can and build my own gaming rig or just go to Best Buy, but before so, I would like to see if I can find out the cause of why it is shutting down. I know there are a large number of possibilities of why
it could be doing so, but if I can get help narrowing it down, that would be great.
Thanks!

To be able to troubleshoot what might be causing your system to crash, we need the dump files. In an ideal situation, more than one file would be needed to establish a pattern so if you do have more than one, please upload them.
Please refer to the link below for steps to retrieve, zip and upload them to the file sharing site like onedrive, google's "dropbox, etc.
When you are done, make the folder public and share the link here.

Computer Crashed During Album Download

Hey, my computer crashed during an album download, and I'm still being charged for the entire CD, even though I only received five tracks. I've searched iTunes and this website with no luck, but is there some kind of customer service that I can e-mail or phone about this? ..It just seems like a waste of $10. Thanks.

Connect your iPod to any computer with iTunes installed, highlight your device and try syncing the apps only. If it doesn't work might have to restore through iTunes. With the new iTunes and iCloud beta, you can have the iTunes list what apps are missing on your device but if you had previously purchased in the past and then have iTunes install them. You should always get in the habit of backing up your iPhone whenever you do any firmware/OS updating/upgrading or transferring over to new device. I really really really really hope you can get back at least some of your old info. I will tell you this, I have been kicking myself in the butt for not routinely backing up my iPhone when my beautiful special iPhone 4 came up missing and had to revert back to my 3GS. iPhone 5 will be released in a few months so I am holding off on purchasing a new iPhone til then, not that I did so without reservation and a little bit of iPhone 4 withdraw.

Lost purchased files: computer crashed during album download

Hi there, I just purchased an album and my computer crashed during the download. When I rebooted, it continued downloading the album, but I am missing 3 tracks. Is there a way to get these files without paying for them? I'm sad to have paid for 3 tracks I didn't get! Thanks very much --

Computer crashed during software update

Currently using OS X Lion, started the latest software update and computer crashed during the update. I forced the computer to turn off, but when I turn it on, it returns to the same "crashed" condition (grey screen with an apple logo in the center, plus the time symbol spinning).
Greatly appreciate if anyone can help me. Thanks!

Back up all data, then boot from your recovery partition (command-R at startup) and reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

Windows 8 computer crashes flash applications on windows 7 laptops.

have just bought windows 8 all in one laptop and it shares a wi fi connection with 2 other family windows 7 laptops.
I can run certain flash programmes forever on the 2 windows laptops but within seconds of switching on my windows 8 computer the flash programmes crash on both laptops even when wired on the ethernet.( 2 seperate website games )
Have checked signals from router before during and after and there is no change in download speeds which are 14 MPS ?????? as soon as I disconnect the windows 8 computer from the internet the programmes start to work on both the other 2 laptops.
Dell says it has not come across this problem before so its not their problem and microsoft havent been able to help .......but something is happenning , andI am hoping someone can shed some light
john tandy.

the programmes are in the united kingdom and my wife plays on line bingo on sunbingo and tombola ( similar set ups but different sites ) and regardless of firefox , internet explorer or chrome these site crash within seconds of starting my windows 8 computer I have downloaded xirrus to monitor my wifi connections and throughout it reports excellent wi fi from my router . I have changed router channels , disabled firewalls but no good
it must be something to do with windows 8 but what?????????????????????????????

Computer crashes during iPad Photo Sync.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to help my grandpa get set up on his new iPad (he's a tech-savvy grandpa, I know) but for some reason his computer crashes when trying to sync his photos with his iPad.
He's using Windows Vista, and I'm a Mac person myself so I'm not very knowledgable about Windows. I was able to get everything to properly sync to his iPad with no problems -- except photos. Music, movies, apps, all work no problem, but one of the primary reasons he wanted an iPad is to be able to carry around and show his pictures. He has about 5,000 organized and stored on his computer. When I had iTunes attempt to sync the whole folder, it would start optimizing the first 100 pictures or so when bam - blue screen of death. I'm not talking about iTunes freezing or crashing here, the whole computer crashes. It comes back up upon reboot but every single time I try to sync those pictures, it crashes. I've tried syncing individual folders with fewer pictures, but every single time it crashes.
I've done some researching online and found this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502
He does have a Logitech QuickCam webcam attached to his computer. I updated the drivers with no success.
I've also tried unplugging all USB devices except the iPad, but nothing seems to work.
Anyone have any advice?
Thanks very much.

Hi.
I have a feeling this has nothing to do with how much space the iPad has left.
I am having a complete headache with synching photos and it has something to do with your updates. The original OS that came with my iPad was fine and I had many thousands of photos on the iPad (security software has been the same throughout).
With the latest update to 4.3 (and the previous one), the same photos do not synch and KILL my windows 7 laptop (hard crash to a black screen).
It is clearly something to do with the process of compressing/processing the photos. It seems as if within iTunes some other application is called to convert photos and this is done on multiple treads (I am not a computer expert so am only summising this). Somehow, windows 7 seems to be complaining that all the CPUs are at 100% all the time (I have a relatively new laptop that doesn't complain when 100% CPU is being used by any other application EXCEPT iTunes synching with the iPad).
I cannot even transfer a small directory of photos - the same photos that were able to be transferred with the original iPad software; this clearly indicates an issue with the iPad or iTunes (or likely both) updates.
Regards,

Since 8.1 update, computer crashes during CD import

Hello,
This is driving me crazy... Ever since updating to the latest version of iTunes, my computer crashes when I try to import music from CDs. It begins the ripping process normally, but then by the second or third song, everything goes blank and the machine tries to restart. When I try to run iTunes diagnostics on the CD drive, it does the same thing, so I can't even get a report on the problem. I have been able to import one or two discs seemingly successfully, but then they skip insanely on playback.
I have tried completely removing iTunes / Quicktime / etc. from my machine and reinstalling everything. No luck. I have tried updating my CD drive firmware. Nothing. I tried removing other programs that might possibly be conflicting with iTunes (Roxio, etc.). Same problem. I even edited my registry as per Apple Support instructions for a similar problem. Nada.
I know iTunes 8.1 is driving a lot of Windows users nuts, but I can't find a fix for this specific problem anywhwere. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I haven't tried burning any CDs since I installed iTunes 8.1; however, I have been importing them. My problem is that my drive speed when importing has dropped from 20-24x down to 6-10x.
I appreciate the suggestion about saving as mp3s then importing, but why should I have to do an extra step because Apple messed up the new version?
I hope this gets resolved quickly. I was planning to finally upgrade my iPod to a new model, but if this is the hassle to import CD music and burn CDs, the Zune is looking better.

Computer crashes during installation

Hi,
I'm having trouble installing Itunes on my computer. I'm using Windows XP Pro sp2 and am completely up-to-date. Each time I try to install Itunes, my computer crashes near the end while the installation is registering. There's no error message and no warning, the computer simply shuts down and restarts. I saw a troubleshooting tip indicating that some antispyware programs can cause similar issues, but I don't have any antispyware on my computer. I do have Norton System works 2002. I even tried shutting down Norton's Anti-virus monitoring. No difference.
Any ideas on what could be causing the issue and how to resolve it.
Thanks.
Kurt

+There's no error message and no warning, the computer simply shuts down and restarts. I saw a troubleshooting tip indicating that some antispyware programs can cause similar issues, but I don't have any antispyware on my computer.+
Hmmmm. Usually the SpyCatcher thing (which I think you've found the tip on) just hangs the install forever at the registering modules stages, rather than actually shutting the PC down.
Let's check to see if there is a "hidden" blue screen error message when the PC is shutting down.
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
Now try another install. Do you get a blue screen with the shutdown this time? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
If the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (Exact spelling, please.)
Here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:

Computer crashed during update and now I can't access iTunes Store!

Hi! I was going to update my iTunes to the latest version, but my computer crashed halfway through. Ever since then, I can't access the iTunes store! I don't know whether trying to update it again would fix the issue?
Also, when choosing to update it brings me to the "download iTunes" page, it looks like the page you go to when you first download iTunes, and I don't want it to just download a new iTunes and not update my current one. I don't want it to affect my library.

Computer Crashed during download

My Computer crashed while i was downloading photoshop. After i restarted my computer adobe application manager says next to photoshop "up to date". The Problem is that the download didn't finish so i don't have photoshop and i can not download it again! Any ideas?

Computer crash during migration

I just got a MacBook Pro to upgrade from my old Aluminum PowerBook (honorably retired after 4 years of service). I didn't migrate the data from the PowerBook during the setup process for the MacBook Pro and opted to do it after setup. I connected both computers, restarted the PowerBook while holding the "T", the process started and since it said that it would take three hours I went to do some errands. When I got back, I noticed that the process had stopped halfway and there was a failure notice saying that the source computer had failed - the PowerBook was frozen... Since my important data is on an external hard drive I decided to reinstall my programs myself and manually transfer any other "leftovers" by plugging the PowerBook to the MacBook Pro as an external drive. Everything that I needed from my PowerBook is now on the new computer and working fine.
However, I'm curious to know if anything actually transfered to my MacBook Pro with Migration Assistant and if its now just occupying space in my MacBook Pro's hard drive. If this is the case, is there a way to delete it?
Thanks!

Hey talgrinvald,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iOS device is not recognized in iTunes. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
