Method 4: Random fixes

1. Try a different set of ram in your computer.
2. Down clock your video clock speeds and/or ram speeds.
3. Run memory tests overnight (search for memtest). I’ve found Prime95 to be quick in finding any bad memory sticks you may have.
4. Install better cooling solutions to your video card/case.
5. Turn off Aero theme (control panel -> Personalize -> Theme -> Windows Classic
6. Administrative tools > Task Scheduler > Scroll down till you see TMM. Double click ‘TMM’. Right click it and select disable.
7. Use compatibility in your applications. Right click a shortcut to whatever game you are running -> properties -> compatibility mode -> set it for Windows XP. Then run the game.
