Crash to desktop, or like full-on BSOD?

crash to desktop

Usually it happens when some background program is running.

There is difference between crashing and minimizing to desktop.

Are you playing pirate games?

there definitely is, but usually games don't 'minimize' they either CTD or BSOD... 

 

I don't really play pirate games (too childish) but that's my experience with all kinds of 'buggy' games, they'll usually CTD or in rare cases BSOD or just freeze up the computer (this one seems especially popular with trashy buggy and unoptimized games)

so how do they crash? do they just close and everything else works fine or system freeze or BSOD?

I would be playing a game and then everything freezes and the game closes and gives me a error message (from the game not windows), there are some game where it happens more than others, like Minecraft and Forza horizon 4 and sometimes apex's legends

Sounds possible that you're missing dependencies like the latest version of direct x

Ok, what kind of error messages, what do they say? That would obviously help to figure out what's wrong.

for apex it says something like engine error, and for minecraft it just says error code one or just doesn't say anything
