    How's it gonna get digested? You'll get cancer if you eat lithium-ion

    What do you mean?

    I may reinstall it since I have a game I play occasionally. Normally whenever I startup, there is the one drive login that automatically pops up. That's all that would run during start up.

    100% guarentee steam is not the issue
    if your hard drive is corrupted and there is an "error", it's not going to load up windows files correctly.

    No I didn't mean that, the mcafee and webroot not being as good as windows defender.

    Possible issues - CPU temperatures. If your cpu is getting near its max temp, which can be checked anywhere, applications not needed for the computer to operate shut down in order to prevent your pc from overheating. You can press the windows key and r and type in DXDIAG and save the information. That saves your computer specs into a word doc. Someone with more technical knowledge might be able to help you with the problem if you send the information to them. The other issue could be the 2 anti-virus softwares you have installed. For my computer, having 2 av software screws up everything. I don't see anything other than that. Make sure you gpu has the latest drivers installed, as that can cause issues. Can you also tell us what happens when you open up minecraft?

    Its unnecessary software, they don't do anything that windows defender can't do

    As stated in the beginning, whenever I do open mine craft it'll run fine for couple minutes, but after that my pic will crash. The two anti virus software was not installed by me, rather my dad installed it. My CPU as far as I see is fine. I don't hear it running loud, nor feeling a lot of heat.

    And pay until his pockets are empty (or in this case until his parents pockets are empty)?

    I think you need to go back to helping people on the block game and not anything that takes knowledge and skill.

    I didn't mean it. I meant in general for small repairs, it's not expensive. For this problem, it is, quite possible more due to its age.

    I'm sure my PC is fine lol. Its an XPS 8300, so its more based on Performance, and with that, there is more vents. So I don't think overheating is an issue. I will consider doing a disk check tho, as it could be the problem

    I have done a system restore before, it did help, but after couple of weeks, it started doing the same thing again. Personally I feel like it might be the hard drive because I did a disk check and it said my main hard drive was about less than a quarter fragmented, but I don't want to jump to conclusions.
