Re: Anyone know a pc missing driver detector app/program?

the issue with my laptop is that when i try to play high-end qaulity games, mostlikly games that require processor speed @ 2.4 GHz+. when i try to play those games, it just got stuck on the opening game screen (the game banner that appears when you double click the .exe for the game to run) but that doesn't stop my laptop to a completely malfunction where i see the blue screen. when that happens, i can't use Alt+F4 or any closing methods.

this is the basics of my system specs:
