Well, I can't really play anymore games on my computer. I can't play Maplestory or Half Life 2, without my computer crashing about 5 minutes into the game. Someone told me it was my graphics card..
So, what do you think it is? I am really wanting to play Half Life 2!
Help me fix my problem ._.
Well, it says that I am above the Publishers Minimum System and the YouGamers Minimum System. But it also says that "Unfortunately we were unable to determine your display card's estimated performance" on all of them. So I think its my graphics card thingy.
What do you recommend and where could I get a nice cheap on for a Laptop?
graphics card in a laptop?
you can't upgrade them
What laptop do you have?
Oh man this sucks ><
I have a Toshiba Satellite M115-S3094
Find out what kind of graphics chip it is, then go to the website and download the new drivers. Mightn't help too much, but might "reboot" the chip, so to speak.
Are you Folding@Home? If you are, turn it off and it may relieve some strain from the CPU
Tried it.. And i'm not apart of that.
MapleStory doesn't really have any high requirements to play it at all. Something doesn't sound right. As D4rk said, if you're using laptop then you can't update/change the graphics card. You could add Ram but not sure if that's the problem. How much ram does it have???

Very true, something sounds wrong. Computers don't just decide to play something one day, and not play it the next day.
Try Disk Defragmenter (might help sort some of the crap out on the HDD). Don't worry it's safe; it doesn't delete or move anything:
Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter > Click "Defragment"
It will most likely take a few hours if you've never done it before, but it will be balanced out by the small size of laptop HDDs
Do it sometime when you're not using the computer; I do it once a week or so ^_^
Can you provide more detailed specs please?
Okay, so I got a can of air (because i knew there was alot of dust and crap in my computer) and I used it. Then I played HL:2 and it didnt crash.. so I guess its okay now. I'm still going to try what you guys said so it'll play better. And D4rk, I think that might help me alot too xD
Thanks everyone! ^^
