Hi everyone. So a few months ago I got my very first BSOD in like 3-5 years. I just shrugged it off and kept doing my thing. But now it seems that it's back (with a vengeance). I'm getting BSOD's most often when playing Battlefield 3, like 20 minutes in and I get a sound loop for about 2 minutes, and then it automatically restarts. Never actually shows the blue screen, but after the restart it shows a little box with some diagnosis. I'll post it at the end along with my specs.
I also get BSOD's every now and then when I'm doing just some random stuff, like reading forums on Steam or watching Youtube videos. Ironically, today I got a BSOD just before doing a restart. It was about to restart, it was just shutting down all the programs, but before it managed to do that, I got a BSOD.
I've updated every driver I could find, checked my temperatures when playing BF3 (goes up to about 50 celsius, that's really low, right?), went to minimal graphics in Bf3 and still keeps happening. I just can't get over this. Why is this suddenly happening? I did some investigating myself and almost everyone is saying that it's an overheating issue, or I've got dust in my GPU (which i might as i haven't cleaned my pc in a looong time). But for christs sake, under load it only goes up to 50 celsius! That can't be it, right?
Maybe it's just generally falling apart, and I should just buy a new graphics card? I would really appreciate some assistance. Thank you.
