What does the crash message say? Most likely it's not hardware related. You can try reinstalling the software and if that doesn't work then you can try reinstalling windows.

How is it being "unreliable?"

I would not get Beats. I had two pairs of them before because I got them for 50% off and they are poor quality. Both of them died within a year and the sound quality did not sound as great as it should have.

Then how does computer total total up to $800? It should be in the ~$650 price range...

Well...Where are you buying from...? Also, that build isn't just for minecraft. I purposely made it overkill so you can play other games like bf3/bf4 as well.

It should play bf3 on high-max at 1080p.

What is your budget? Do you need a monitor/os/keyboard/mouse if it is a desktop? Do you prefer performance and upgrade-ability or portability and convenience?

There's nothing severely wrong with Windows 8. Microsoft made a decision, a decision that they wanted to open a new world to the Windows system. It's something different. Most people are used to the same old Windows, where you have the desktop screen and then the start menu. That's the only...

-You're saying that Windows 8 is not good because it's different? There is nothing wrong with navigating away from the Windows 7 look. Additionally, I have Windows 8 and it looks exactly like Windows 7. Why? Because there's a lot of programs out there that can it look exactly like Windows 7...

-Nothing wrong with Windows 8. Honestly, if you're buying a Windows 8 laptop and then buying a Windows 7 disk, it's just a huge waste of money. -For the processor, you definitely want an i7. In desktop terms, an i5 is the best for gaming as it is a good single-threaded quad core. In mobile...

We already know it works. As I posted above, both of the processors use the G2 socket. http://www.cpu-world.com/Sockets/Socket%20G2%20(rPGA988B).html Edit: For some reason it won't post the whole link. Copy the whole link from http. to .html and paste it into your address bar.

It is compatible: http://www.cpu-world.com/Sockets/Socket%20G2%20(rPGA988B).html They use the same G2 socket. If you buy the i7-3630qm processor, I'm pretty sure they would include a new heatsink and fan to keep it cool.

Yes you can. You have the buy the processor, take a part your laptop, and then put it back together.

That's normal for a laptop. Since all the components are extremely cramped inside a laptop, it gets pretty hot in there. Laptop processors are made to withstand heat better and the processor has a max of around 100c. I would expect most laptops to get into the 80-90c range when playing a game...
