In a case like this why would you need external apps for specs? We just need rough info. Dxdiag which is built into windows basically has all we would need.

So, it is this thing?

Note, this was described as pretty bottom of the line over 8 years ago. Not sure how long you have had it, but if it is your daily driver and you have important files on it, you should be making a back-up ASAP.

That's a false warning I've used that site for years to check pc game compatibility, but do whatever you want. Since you have to download something for it to check your specs virus sites will probably detect it as intrusive but it's not.
If you check what your pc specs are on your pc you won't get to see what games are compatible. But your pc is old and you shouldn't be trying to play any game from 2023.

What is wrong with a site telling you if a game is compatible on your pc or not?
Anyway, you need a new PC unless you're willing to play games from 2012 and older only.

You're assuming that...
I have 16 GB of Ram Nvidia GEForce GTX 1650, but it's only a i5-9300. I am able to play Cyberpunk 2077 and most games until games that are just coming out such as the DLC to Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, because it requires an i7 cpu. So my computer is strong enough to play it but I'm locked out from playing it.
Exactly what I said, you're assuming you can play a game that's less than 1 GB without knowing for sure.
Wait...you can play games < 1GB without crashing. Is that RAM?
I'm guessing (without any real evidence) that your disk drive is probably full. The larger games need more virtual memory, and when it tries to find it on the hard drive, it isn't there, and so it crashes.
Which brings me to what I said earlier...back up your drive, and then get rid of stuff off your drive you don't need. See if that fixes the problem.
At some point, if you are still rocking the original HDD, you probably want to replace that with something new.
Came to say this but you covered it already
Your CPU thermal paste dried out 4 years ago bud (needs to be replaced every 2 years MAX on a laptop). It's overheating and shutting off from thermal warning.
You can probably run the entire Atari 2600 library on that thing. Here ya go.

Or play retro games for that matter. My word of advice is: Get a powerful gaming rig for your budget.
Look OP, in layman's terms your pc is old as hell. It's not really fit to play anything modern with that cpu and onboard intel gpu. There's nothing you can do about it apart from getting a newer, better pc/laptop.
2 years is probably excessive, but definitely after 4-5 years the thermal paste will be dried up, and the dense heatsinks and small fan grills on a laptop get clogged easily as well.Came to say this but you covered it already

It uses your drive as additional virtual memory.
Accessed by right clicking This PC -> Properties -> Advanced system settings -> Advanced tab -> Click on the top Settings button -> Advanced tab -> Change
By default it's set to automatically manage, and in most cases doesn't need to be changed manually. But you can disable automatically manage in order to manually set it to a higher number, try 8192 or 16384 and enter the same value in both boxes (click Set after changing, or the changes won't be applied)
Your Pc is very weak for advanced games I would recommend you to close all programs that are running in the background of course only programs that do not disturb the system and very important disable your internet or wifi so your PC can build up more air for your games.
