Hi there,

My youngest sister loves to playing Gamehouse game collection on our computer desktop. Then one day when she's playing diner dash the computer hang up for a minute then it restarts automatically.

Our memory RAM is 128Mb. We don't have lots of files on our computer. We don't use it everyday, actually my sister who's always using our computer just to play games. How can I solve automatically restart and that hang up? Need some suggestions guys, I'm not too familiar with computer. I don't have any idea how to resolve it. Thanks.

Well, the first thing I notice here is your memory current capacity. Having a RAM of 128Mb foretells us that you are using old computer system. This fact is enforced by your statement that you don't use your computer that often.
The hanging up and automatic restart is a symptom of memory problem.

128Mb is pretty low. Your Gamehouse game collection might work temporarily well. But when other programs are running altogether in your system, 128Mb will get easily consumed thus making it hang-up and will restart. The solution for that is to add more RAM (add more memory). Or replace your 128Mb with more capacity like 512Mb.

Hi Dpadon,

This may help to your problem. RAM in your computer is not the problem. Because your youngest sister only plays Flash games and it doesn't require high RAMS. The problem here is your computer cooling system. One of the main reasons why computer hangs/ freeze/ restart because it is overheating. You just need to clean the fans, the heat sink and other parts inside of your computer, because it was covered by dust. You can clean your computer by using paint brush or by compressed air.

That probably happens because your computer has only 128 MB RAM. Though this amount can run GameHouse games, this is not the actual size once Windows is running. This amount will be a lot smaller once the operating system loads. To really fix the problem, you need to upgrade your computer’s memory by adding more RAM.

But for the meantime, you can probably improve your machine’s performance when playing games using Game Booster. There are two versions you can try:

• Smart Game Booster – supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.x, and Windows 10.
• Razer Cortex Game Booster – supports Windows 7, Windows 8.x, and Windows 10. Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows Vista are no longer supported.

Download the version that is compatible with your computer and install it. This will surely improve the performance of your computer when playing games. To use it, start Game Booster then click “Start Boost” or something similar. This will deactivate some of the processes in the operating system that runs in the background that are not essential to the game.

After activating boost, start your game and start playing. In my experience, after activating boost, it greatly recovers a huge amount of RAM.
