So i have a lenovo y50.. and almost everytime i try to play a game, my computer freezes without any warning and there is nothing i can do but shut it down from the power button.

I tried the System File Checker and everything seemed fine. So i went to download Lenovo Solution Center, and ran a full test. My computer passed all the tests but the Extended Video Memory Test, as shown in the link below:

by the way, I'm on windows 10. Any ideas?
 
Solution
This could be a driver issue because of Windows 10. That is a common issue with Windows 10 right now, and if the issue wasn't occurring before when you were using Windows 7/8.1 then you should go back to that OS. It could take some time for the issue to be resolved.
