I noticed some blender games cause windows to crash from time to time. Is it my video card or is this a general instability issue?
i have noticed this sometimes, if there is bad scripting. or a logic error that makes it chrash

if that is the case open it in 2.25 and run it, the errors should be printed on the console
no I meant from the exe. I never had a problem while running blender.
<edit> btw do you have to have an older version of python to use game blender, or is it self contained?

sometimes beofre you get time to look in the consloe it closes blender, so the console is useless sometimes 
well I just went and downloaded publisher and the runtimes seem alot cleaner so maybe it won’t crash now. 
standalone runtimes and things run in the standalone player may print errors [for example if you try to import the blender module] invisibly. use the -c switch to have the console window show up
… well, no, not exactly
most things shouldn’t require a full python install in the first place
I am assuming I can count on the logic bricks but not necessarily the scripts.
correct
python scripts can be expected to not work if they:
import the blender module
use pretty much any module other than:
GameLogic, GameKeys, Rasterizer, and math
but that still gives a lot of room to work with, and if something doesn’t work the -c option is there to find out why
