For my birthday I planned a PC upgrade before my system’s capabilities were ready. It was Intel i3 6100 LGA1151, Intel HD 530 MSI H11M PRO-VH PLUS, 1TB HDD, 4GB RAM DDR4. The main issue turned out to be insufficient RAM causing constant crashes due to full disk usage. I upgraded to 16GB of 8GB DDR4 memory. Now when I play games or run heavy tasks, my CPU hits 100% and the PC shuts down. I’m unsure how to fix this situation.

Check HWMonitor or HWInfo64 for CPU temperature data while under stress. Do you own a graphics card? There aren’t many titles suitable for the HD 530.

I don’t have the budget for graphics cards. I upgrade my PC yearly once I save enough, but getting a graphics card would mean waiting 2–3 years.

Even for second-hand components, I believe used GPUs are currently becoming more affordable.

I’m not confident in myself and might struggle to locate a genuine card. I also play less gaming on my PC—it’s more about coding and managing VMs.
