WerFault crashes every game on Windows 7 laptop.?

I got this laptop as a hand-me-down from my brother and, as i have a Mac Book, I decided to only use it as a gaming laptop as most games are for Windows and its quite old and it's in no condition to be using it as a laptop for school.

Anyway, when he gave it to me, it was wiped with most of the disk empty, but just to be sure, I installed Malwarebytes, SmartPCFixer AND DriverFinder to clean the laptop of malware and see if anything (e.g. drivers) needed updating and such. Everything looks fine, but every time i try to launch a game, such as Sims 4 (ESPECIALLY the sims 4) and Alice Madness Returns, WerFault.exe crashes it! It's infuriating because i can't find a solution on google, I can't play any game and I am thinking about restoring it to factory settings!

What do I do?

    I would restore to factory and start over. No telling what's been done to it. I would also recommend not using SmartPCFixer and Driverfinder. Both are garbage.
