Installed Windows 10, all games crashing

[bomt697]

Hey guys I just upgraded to the windows 10 and now all my games are crashing causing my computer to restart. They were all stable on windows 8.1.

Can anyone help shed light on why this is happening now? Thanks guys!!

Try downloading and installing the latest driver for your graphics card.

Also what games specifically are crashing? Are they installed through Steam?

I generally recommend doing a clean install after the actual Win10 upgrade, since people tend to have issues with system stability after the upgrade.

yeah i have update the drivers which did help with wow and diablo, however crysis 3 is still crashing all the time.

Hey guys, I tried playing (any game) and it kept crashing my system. I down graded back to windows 8.1, uninstalled the drivers, downloaded it again, still getting crashes. I wasn't having this problem before. Any thoughts guys?

Does it give you an error when it crashes? Is it just the game that crashes or the computer blue screens?

 

[bomt697]

No, there is no error message or BSOD. The computer just restarts like someone pressed the restart button.

 

[PP Mguire]

That could be a stability or heat issue.
