The game crashes my PC after a few minutes of running

The title pretty much says it all. Anywhere from one minute to thirty minutes of playing time, the game suddenly freezes. Then Windows tells me gta_sa.exe stopped working. After a few seconds, my entire PC crashes. No bluescreen, no errors, it just... stops. Even Spotify stops playing sound, so it's not just a graphical freeze.

 

I'm using version 1.0 on Windows 10. I have an i7-2670QM, a GT 630M and 6GB of RAM.

 

No, I don't have mods. Yes, the game is legal. Yes, all my drivers and Windows is updated. Yes, I've added the game's executable to DEP.

 

Thanks in advance for any help :).

is your DVD clean, no scratches, No smudges, no cracks near the Hub.

You are not using a "crack".

Why are you using DEP, what happens when it is not engaged?

Yes, I've added the game's executable to DEP.

You shouldn't have. Revert this setting back to defaults.

Yes to all. I used DEP because after some Googling I saw quite a lot of people saying there was a crash related to DEP, and excluding the game's .exe fixed it. It didn't for me, unfortunately.

 

You shouldn't have. Revert this setting back to defaults.

Why not?

I already run it elevated, and I have to use Windows 98 compatibility mode to fix some issues.

Thats wiered...

Disable anti virus

Do not use any other app/game.Just gta should be runned in background.

Reinstall game,Also how you extract or use Silent?

Tried DirectX,Visual C++ Rediatutables?

P.s:Windows 10 works creepy sometimes for certain games.
