Computer Crashing While in a Skype Call and Playing Video Games [Acer Aspire 5741G]

[Pwengwin]

Whenever I'm in a Skype call and playing a video game (ex. Minecraft) at the same time, after a while of playing my computer will ALWAYS crash. It's really annoying and I need a solution for it...

One of my friends told me that I need a new hard drive, and if I do, can somebody please suggest a not too expensive (I'm will to pay up to $200) hard drive that is great for video games and will fit in a laptop? Thanks.

I have also tried un-installing programs and it doesn't work.
The only things running in my task bar are:
Skype
MyWinLocker
Intel Rapid Storage Technology
HP Digital Imaging Monitor
Solve PC Issues

Do I need all of those?

Also, here are my computer specifications:
Manufacturer: Acer
Model: Aspire 5741G
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU - M430 @ 2.27GHz - 2.27GHz
Installed Memory (RAM): 4.00 GB (3.87 GB usable)
System Type: 64-bit Operating System

Please let me know what I have to do to stop the crashing!
Thanks so much!

try the dollar store there are cheaper .

Would the cooler and dusting off the fan improve the performance of my laptop? It used to be a lot better, but the performance has dropped in the past couple months. What else would improve the performance?
