COMPUTER FLASHES WHEN YOU TRY TO START A GAME?

I JUST GOT A NEW COMPUTER WITH WINDOWS 7 AND I ALWAYS DOWNLOADED GAMES AND PLAYED TO THEM, BUT NOW WHEN I TRY TO MY SCREEN STARTS FLASHING DIFFERENT COLORS AND I MUST MANUALLY TURNED OFF MY COMPUTER TO MAKE IT STOP. EVEN THE GAMES THAT CAME WITH THE COMPUTER DO NOT WORK. WHAT IS PAST WITH IT?

Brandisch, download you the game... or playing from those that came with your new computer.

And, you get "flashing different colors"... as a result!

No great wonder, here!

What you are doing are wrong!

You try to play these games... WITHOUT never to set the Graphics (of all the games!)... .in the Configuration program.

All your games!

Each game has it's own settings/Options of Configuration.

This does not include the screen resolution setting, AUDIO editing, the Options to play the game, the scrolling function, etc.! There may be MORE, but this list is simply the 'Basics' of what you need to do before all games.

There are games that actually have 'issues'... with some graphics..., cards and Audio, high fidelity.

Each game/program I know... was a 'README.txt' file, in their software. You can use the option "EXPLORE / Open", leaving these games not run... from the DVD... drive to find. Give this file Readme.txt a good reading... to learn what you can do, or can not do with the game "in question".

Most people completely ignore this Readme.txt file... and tear his hair... ask yourself 'why' they cannot play their games, then eventually in the Forums like this... complain of their problems. (Now, I wonder 'why'?)

    When you try to start the programs of their shortcuts, I always get a window MS-DOS pop up.  The header says 16-bit subsystem MS_DOS.  For example, when you try to start Microsoft Word, the message says:

    Whenever I try to play a game using the Nvidia card on the laptop Aspire E5 56RG - 573 G computer goes to a blue screen and gives the error "Video_Schedular_Internal_error" before restarting.

    All the games that I tried to run by using the processor 940 m 7200LE crashed the PC.

    Minecraft, Star Trek Online, dungeons and Dragons Online and Neverwinter all crash as soon as the game is loading all the graphics. All the games work very well using the processor 5500 on-board Intel HD graphics but way less detailed than the 940 m from Nvidia is capable of.

    I've updated to the latest Nvidia drivers twice now (Oct and Nov references) with the help of installs clean. I also tried the Nvidia driver on the support page from Acer for the serial number of this PC. I've updated to the last update of the bios on the page of Support as well. Again, the PC crashes when you try to play a game using the Nvidia graphics processor.

    My operating system is windows 10.

    Most of the error information I could find said it is a driver problem or I have a faulty video card. Any suggestion or help would be appreciated.

    Cerealkiddo on Nvidia forums has found a real solution to the problem.

    1. download MSI Afterburner.

    2. change the base to-13 clock and clock from memory to-15.

    I played Skyrim for about 4 hours now maxed out graphic with map selected Nvidia and he collapsed once, while before this fix, it would break the pc after 2 minutes of play on any parameter using the nvidia card.

    If the game was previously installed and worked fine then maybe it is not been completely uninstalled.
    I suggest you uninstall the game, look in the registry for any left over entries that can refer to the game.

    Then restart and reinstall the game.

    Alternatively, you can try to install in compatibility mode. If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
