crashes when using 3D apps and games

[Tony]

I have many crashes when I use 3D apps and games. The
error message says "Mini101903-01.dmp" if this means
anything to anyone. Any ideas? thanks

Hey Tony,

Application crash, or system crash.

Does the system restart or do you get a blue screen ?
Disable autorestart to get the blue screen

control panel/system/advanced/startup and recovery settings

Uncheck autorestart.

If it happens again you;ll get the blue screen, this contains the error
codes and the name of the driver causing the problem.

Post the info.

In the meantime check the system event log for errors of type "save dump"
and "system error"

If you find one, double click to open it, and use the copy button to copy to
the clipboard amd paste into a post.

My guess would be a video driver issue.

Also check for unsigned drivers

start/run
sigverif

Try and replace any unsigned drivers with signed ones from windows update or
the relevant manufacturers website.
