Games keeps minimizing!!!!!

[GGEK]

hey! i am having a problem. whenever i play any game or run any fullscreen programme it automatically minimizes every minute or two. i can see a window poping up whenever this happens. it happens very quick so i cant take a screenshot. plz help its very annoying. (sry for bad english).

probably got a prog running that has to be on top of screen , find it and kill it ,then your probs should be solved.

ps don't ask me which progs , I don't fix pc's with mystic powers

What does the pop-up window say? And pressing the prtscrn button should be very easy to do, when it happens every minute.

Does the game minimize and close? or minimize but keep the game open.

It could be your drivers crashing, check that the ones for your gpu are updated. If you have any overclock try undoing that as that can cause it to happen (if clocked too high)

Run the game in window mode (or window full screen / no borders) and when it happens the game should lose focus but the popup window should stay active

Sidenote ... there are some key combinations that could make your game minimize, especially if the keys include Ctrl and Alt buttons. May want to check what you're pressing when the game loses focus.
