Call of Duty Black Ops 7 is finally here with intense missions, updated graphics, and new multiplayer mechanics — but many players on low-end or older PCs are experiencing crashes, freezing, not launching issues, black screens, and stutters.
If your game keeps crashing during startup, mid-match, or randomly freezing, don’t worry — this guide includes 100% working solutions specifically targeted toward low-end systems.
Let’s fix Black Ops 7 step by step! 🚀
✅ 1. Check Minimum System Requirements
Before anything, confirm that your PC meets the minimum specs.
Minimum Requirements
-
CPU: Intel i5-6600 / Ryzen 5 1400
-
RAM: 8 GB
-
GPU: GTX 960 / Radeon RX 570
-
Storage: SSD recommended (40–60GB free)
-
OS: Windows 10/11 64-bit
Recommended for Stability
-
CPU: i5-10400 / Ryzen 5 2600
-
RAM: 16 GB
-
GPU: GTX 1660 / RX 5600 XT
If your PC is low-end, don’t worry — the fixes below dramatically improve stability.
✅ 2. Update Your GPU Drivers (Most Important Fix)
NVIDIA Users
-
Open GeForce Experience → Drivers → Check for Updates
-
Install the latest Game Ready Driver
AMD Users
-
Open AMD Adrenalin → Updates → Check for Updates
Outdated drivers are the #1 cause of Black Ops 7 crashes and freezing.
✅ 3. Disable Overlays (Fixes 70% of Freezing Issues)
Turn OFF these overlays:
-
Discord Overlay
-
Steam Overlay
-
Xbox Game Bar
-
NVIDIA ShadowPlay / Instant Replay
-
AMD Overlay
These overlays consume VRAM and cause freezing on low-end PCs.
✅ 4. Lower In-Game Graphics Settings
Go to Settings → Graphics → Display & Quality
Best Graphics Settings for Low-End PCs
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Display Mode | Fullscreen |
| V-Sync | OFF |
| Texture Quality | Low |
| Texture Filtering | Low |
| Shadow Quality | Low |
| Anti-Aliasing | SMAA Low |
| Motion Blur | OFF |
| Ambient Occlusion | OFF |
| Ray Tracing | OFF |
| Field of View | 90–100 |
| Volumetric Fog | Low |
| Depth of Field | OFF |
This prevents VRAM overload, the biggest cause of crashes in Black Ops 7.
✅ 5. Enable Shader Preloading (Fix Black Screens)
Black Ops 7 sometimes shows a black screen when shaders are compiling.
To fix:
-
Go to Settings → Graphics
-
Turn ON Shader Preloading

Select Run as Administrator
This prevents:
-
Launch crashes
-
Infinite loading

Permissions-related freezing
✅ 8. Disable Fullscreen Optimizations

Go to Advanced → Performance → Settings
-
Advanced → Virtual Memory → Change
-
Set custom size:
-
Initial: 4096
