If you find your computer keeps freezing when playing games and it goes to a black screen you can fix this without buying new parts. Some people will change their graphics card and RAM in the hope of fixing this. This may sometimes work but not because you changed the parts and the problems will still come back again.
If you have done the following and still find games freeze on you there are other steps you can take.
#1 Defragmented your hard drive and the problem still remains.
#2 Ran a disk cleanup and freed up disk space.
#3 Replaced your RAM and upgraded it.
#4 Replaced your graphics card. Sometimes this works and is not the cause of the problem though.

If you have been through all these steps and your computer freezes playing games and goes to a black screen you can resolve this by following a few steps.
#1 Run windows update. One of the biggest causes of games freezing and going to a black screen are driver problems. Go to windows start and then click on windows update on the start menu. This process can take a long time depending on how many updates there are. Once you have done this try the game again.
#2 If the problem still remains update the driver for your graphics card. Do not do this on windows update.
The graphics drivers on there are not the latest version most of the time. Go to the manufacturers site and download them from there. If this does not work, revert back to an older version. Some games will not run with new drivers because the driver updates fix one problem and introduce another. Try several drivers from the manufacturers site.
#3 If it still fails there may be corruption on your computer. First of all double check the game requirements and make sure your computer meets them all and there are no errors reported. If not download a free trial of a system and registry scanner. You are going to check three things with this.
#1 There are no missing or corrupt DLL files.
#2 There is no registry corruption.
#3 there are no corrupt windows files.
#2 There is no registry corruption.
#3 there are no corrupt windows files.
To do this manually can take days and even then you might miss the problem. If any of these problems are present your computer freezes playing games and will just blank out the display as well. If there are errors a system and registry scanner will find them and then you can fix them quickly and automatically and stop games freezing on you for good.
