I'm very sorry if this kind of post doesn't belong here but i thought this would be the best place. For the past month of so, many of my games on steam crash after the first 15 minutes or so of playing. I have no clue what could be the problem as I tried to do everything I could to fix it. I updated my drivers, restarted my pc, defragged my hard drive, unistalled the games and steam and reinstalled them, anything you can think of, i've tried it. Im open to suggestions and wondering if anybody has had the same problem. The main games that crash for me that I've noticed are Insurgency, DayZ, and CS:GO. Usually after 30 minutes or so, DayZ crashes, and after one match in both insurgency and cs:go, they crash. I can easily play League of Legends or BF3 (non steam games) without worrying about them crashing on me. Any help is appreciated and Ive been searching the forums for help but havent had any luck yet.

Specs:
Intel core i3-3220 CPU @ 3.30 GHz
32 bit operating system
8GB Ram
GeForce GTX 650
1TB Hard Drive
(not sure what else would help)

Yes I have tried re-installing steam. I've also tried re-installing each individual game as well but no luck.

It appears nobody has realised you are running a 32bit os this means only 4gb of your memory can be used. It is not necesairly the cause of crashes but you should install a 64bit os to use all 8gb of memory avalible.
