Hi, I've been experiencing some BSOD (to be clear, blue screen of death) while I'm gaming or watching watching several twitch.tv or youtube channels on high quality. I don't experience an actual blue screen..it's more like a black screen that takes over my laptop's monitor and the sounds just turn off after the black screen is applied. It restarted about two-five seconds later and goes back to the login screen for the computer.

I have been informed from a computer expert place (I assume they are experts because they own the store..) that it is my video card but I am not quite sure..

I can play perfectly for days and the BSOD would happen out of the blues. I can go into safe mode perfectly fine with no BSOD or errors; it's only happening when I am in normal mode. I've tried some trial and errors, running furmark and speedfan, and I would crash with furmark within 1-2 minutes (only one trial) and my temperature would not exceed 60c for my GPU. Overall, my temperature for my speedfan tests do not exceed 65c.

The game I tend to black screen in is called League of Legend. I was able to run it perfectly fine for about a whole year and I started getting some black screens out of the blues. I clean the fan once every month and make sure there are no dust in the drivers.

Here are my computer specs and error logs (and some other errors that might be relevent?):

I am very noobish when it comes to computer...so if you request me to do a certain test, please provide URL and instructions. Thanks!!

My computer is roughly a year and a half. (no more warrenty) I do not know if it is overclocked because this was a sponsored laptop from dell that was given to me for free. I do not have connections with my sponsor anymore.
