Fullscreen games randomly minimising.

Post by Lozza »

-Yes I have looked for a solution on google previously-

Hey, all of sudden this week all my games are randomly minimising after 15-30 minutes. You probally thinking 'why don't you just maximise the program?'. I can't, like most games maximising doesn't work (I can hear the music of the game after maximising still though). I searched and tried many solutions but none are working.
Here's the list:

- Stopped all possible processes in task manager.
- Unticked all start-up programs in administrative tools.
- Restarted

I also recently installed some overclocking software, but I uninstalled it. Still getting the problem.

The games that minimise:

Saints row 3
Bad company 2

Anyone every had this problem? The worst story was when I completed a 30 minute mission on SR3, then as i finished the mission the game minimised and was about to autosave :/.

This overclocking software you mention makes me suspicious..did you start experiencing these problems before you installed it?
