Pretty much any time I open a game it freezes my computer and I can't do anything about it except hard restart. Most of the time I can still move around my mouse but that's it, everything is unresponsive. Anytime I want to play a game I'm usually stuck for 30-60 minutes just trying to open the game without my computer freezing. I have tried to get help so many places but can't get any solutions, hopefully someone here can help.

You have post on a tech assistance forum asking for help but have provided zero information about your computer or it`s hardware, this makes it impossible for anyone to even hazard a guess as to what is going on.

What games are involved ?

If the computer is a desktop can you post the brand and model name or number of the power supply (PSU).

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.

Click to expand...

That is the wrong RAM for your CPU, AMD state here up to 3200MHz and if you have XMP or DOCP enabled the RAM will get auto OCd past what the CPU can handle and the PC fall over.

No Speccy url so pretty much at a stop other than to mention that all the games have one thing in common, they require an internet connection, various things can affect that but we can`t check them without a Speccy report.
