So I had windows 7 for a long time and it started crashing when I was doing something INTESIVE like new video games and stuff so I sent it to my friend who did all sorts of testing and decided to change my graphics card... I had a Radeon HD 7700 Series and he changed it to NVIDIA GeForce 750 Ti after that I installed windows 10 and now when I play games it crashes sometimes 5min. into the game... sometimes 2hrs... but it doesn't seem to happen with low req. games like RuneScape or Minecraft (Java games) Sorry if I didn't give enough info... this is my first post.

Excellent! I must admit I was a little worried that something awful had happened. I was going to suggest trying a clean install and i'm so glad it seems to have worked. Have you tried running games yet?

As long as you can see the hard drive light is flashing then leave it. I've heard of some resets taking many hours. If for some reason it fails then you could download the actual Windows 10 iso and do a clean install (unless you have the disk yet).

Sorry for not responding, I got Windows 10 newly installed, I restarted my pc when it was on 1% for like 14 hours and then it said there was no operating system found so I installed win10 from a usb drive, got all the drivers... I don't know about the crashing yet.

OkI got Windows 10 newly installed
Er.... I thought you wrote above that you installed a new copy off a thumb drive?I'm gonna try now, do you think the fresh install of windows could solve the crashing?

As long as you booted from the thumb drive and installed a fresh clean copy which overwrote your files. If this case then you don't need to install off a disk as it's the same process. I'm hoping it will fix the crashing but sometimes it doesn't you'll just have to see. If you do still crash then chances are it's a hardware error.

Is it the fans getting louder? What are the noises?Plus my pc starts making noises like... it gets louder and then quieter a few times and then it crashes.
Ok so when you installed windows 10 off usb did you boot into windows an
d then ran the start up from the usb drive or did you change the boot options via the bios to actually boot from the USB stick. I'm trying to determine if you did a clean install or not.
