Hi, I've been having an issue for a while where i'm playing an online game I notice it in bf3 and world of tanks where the game will freeze for no apparent reason.
Occasionally it will do this then come back (like a massive lag spike). When this is the case there seems to be a bit of a chug from the hd which coincides with the long freeze. Most the time it freezes and I have to force quit the game or switch the pc off manually if i Ctr-Alt-Delete isn't working.
Then it started crashing mid-game to what looks like a spectrum loading screen (all horizontal coloured lines), with a stuttering noise, which required me to restart manually.
Now its moved onto going straight to a blue screen when it crashes (again with the stuttering noise). I still get the freezes during the game, where the game briefly comes back, but at least every other game now ends in blue screen.
I only downloaded world of tanks yesterday and it worked fine for hours. Then gradually it started to freeze during play now and again, then more and more frequently. At the current time it seems to freeze at least every other game and go to blue screen and need manually switching off.
I thought something might have been overheating, so i left my computer off for a few hours and came back and it was still doing it. I turned my pc on this morning, played 1 game of WoT with no issues, second game = bluescreen.
As i said, i had this same issue with bf3. I don't think it can relate to overheating because sometimes it would do it soon after starting playing from a cold start and other times i could play for hours, all day even, without it doing it. It does seem, however, when it starts happening it persists and won't go away, despite restarts etc.
I haven't noticed this happening at all with offline games, although i dont play them so often. It never happens in windows only when in-games. As i said, some of the freezes seem to be accompanied by a chug from the hd so im wondering if thats faulty.
I could really do with some advise before i consider spending money to fix this.
I have a picture i taken with my phone of the blue screen info which hopefully the link below will show

I appreciate any help.
Thanks
