    Apps and games default memory

    All apps and games installed in Lumia 520 are installed in my mobile's phone memory and not on the memory card.
    Is there anyway to move these apps and games from phone memory to the memory card and also set the memory card as the default location for future installation?

    PC Continuously Crashing After a Game is Launched. GPU or Memory Issue?

    My PC continuously crashes after the GPU is strained, even if it's just a little bit. The issue can't be traced to overheating since my PC typically crashes around 50 degrees Celsius. It consistently crashes around a minute or two after booting up a game,
    problem is consistent between two different launchers that I've tried (Steam and GOG Galaxy) and whenever I ran Heaven benchmark the PC would crash in under a minute. I wasn't running any other application except for MSI Afterburner to monitor heat and memory
    usage, I've noticed that the memory usage would be high but that my PC would only crash if I had heaven benchmark open, but if I alt tabbed the PC wouldn't crash, I'm still not entirely certain if the issue can be traced back to my GPU or memory though.

    I've tried upgrading my drivers for my GPU but that didn't seem to stop my PC from crashing whenever I ran a GPU intensive application. I'm struggling to identify what part of my PC is malfunctioning since I'm brand new to PCs and I really need assistance
    since I've been unsuccessful so far and nothing seems to work while things seem to be getting worse, please help, thanks.

    GPU Memory

    Hello! I have a question, what is the difference between GPU Memory and Dedicated GPU Memory? Because In Dedicated GPU Memory it says 2.0GB and in GPU Memory it says 4.0GB

    Do I have 4GB Video Ram or 2GB?

    Thanks!
