Hi @orlando141,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If your HP laptop keeps crashing while playing the game Iron Site, here are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue.
Update Graphics Drivers:
- Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date. You can download the latest drivers from the NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel websites, depending on your GPU.
Check System Requirements:
- Verify that your laptop meets the minimum system requirements for Iron Site. If your hardware is below the requirements, it may struggle to run the game smoothly.
Lower In-Game Settings:
- Reduce the graphics settings in the game to see if this helps with stability. Lower settings like texture quality, shadows, and effects can significantly decrease the load on your GPU.
Close Background Applications:
- Close any unnecessary background applications that may be consuming system resources, especially resource-intensive programs like browsers, streaming software, or other games.
Check for Overheating:
- Monitor your laptop’s temperatures during gameplay. Overheating can cause crashes. Ensure that the vents are clear of dust and that the laptop is well-ventilated.
Run as Administrator:
- Right-click on the game’s shortcut and select “Run as administrator.” This can sometimes resolve issues related to permissions.
Verify Game Files:
- If you're using a platform like Steam or Epic Games, verify the integrity of the game files. This will check for and repair any corrupted files.
Check for Windows Updates:
- Ensure that your Windows operating system is up to date. Sometimes updates include critical fixes for performance and stability.
Disable Overclocking:
- If you have overclocked your GPU or CPU, try reverting to the default clock speeds. Overclocking can cause instability in some games.
Reinstall the Game:
- If all else fails, consider uninstalling and then reinstalling Iron Site. This can fix any installation issues that may be causing crashes.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
