For the past week, when I play Battlefield 3, sometimes I would get the blue screen of death. The game would suddenly crash (I am unable to move my character and I would only hear a loud buzz in my headset). The screen would suddenly display a blue screen with words like 'error detected, dumping physical memory' along with some sort of counter which looks like its current progress. This blue screen would appear on my monitor for about 2 or 3 seconds, and then my computer would restart itself.
I built this computer half a year ago. I never had this issue until this past week when summer started. I have played other games, such as Starcraft 2 and Chivalry, but both of these games are not as intensive as Battlefield 3 and has not caused the blue screen of death. I want to note that I recently had an issue with Battlefield 3 where it was complaining that my DirectX was incompatible so I re-installed DirectX to repair that issue.
Over the past week, I have not installed or done anything new to my computer except install the game Metro Last Light and repair my DirectX.
I do not think this is an issue with over heating. My CPU is running at 50*C and my GPU is at 72*C under full gaming conditions.
