Horrible Crash when I play certain games.?

i hate to say ot pal but it sounds to me like your video card went out. im not super technical but that sounds like what it its. it will run normal windows operations fine, but it cant pull supper amounts of FPS like te high end games need. i might adjust my settings to low, or something first and check but that's what it sounds like to me. hope im not right, because vid cards are pricey right now.
