I have exhausted every possible option i can think of. Some background on the problem:
It first started about a year ago playing Star wars Kotor. Every few hours, the screen would go black with some random colored lines, usually red or blue, and the sound would keep playing until I moved my mouse.
After exhausting different troubleshooting, like running mem test, gpu stresser and updating the bios, I could not replicate the problem. Eventually, I was able to fix this problem, by raising the voltages on my GPU, which led me to believe that the turbo overclock just didn't have enough voltage to be stable.
My problem was seemingly fixed for over half a year. However, upon installing windows 8.1 from 8, the problem returned on that very day. I was so confused, I thought it was a voltage issue, so how could windows 8.1 be doing this? I downgraded back to 8 but the problem still remains.
At this point I don't think i can ever get an answer on my own. Weirdly enough this problem is only happening during Hulu or watching a flash video full screened. Not during games anymore. Event viewer just gives a generic windows has shut down unexpectedly because I have to turn off the power.
