So, I've been having this problem for quite some time now, and I have had no luck with solving it. I know that I only get these BSODs whenever I'm gaming --THE BSODs ONLY HAPPEN WHEN PLAYING DIRECTX-BASED GAMES!!! However, I can play any Direct X-based game for as long as I want after a fresh reboot with no interruptions. I know that my system will almost always experience a BSOD in the following situations:
1) If I Alt+Tab out of a game. The more I tab out of my game, the more stressed my system gets, which results in one of those BSODs.
2) If I've been playing different games. Let's say I play DayZ for an hour or two, then I go play some Borderlands for a bit. My computer will usually experience a BSOD sometime after switching to a different game.
3) If it's been on low load for awhile. Let's say I spend a few hours watching YouTube or Netflix, then I decide to hop on CS:GO for a game or two. I can expect a crash about 80% of the time here.
In all of these situations, my computer crashes due to changes in the level of stress placed on my system that it can't handle. Not just a high level of stress in general. So in order to fix this problem, I have tried the following solutions:
- using different driver versions (I've tried over 10 different ones)
- driver sweeper
- registry cleanup (CCleaner)
- disk defragmenter
- reinstalling Windows
- switching PSU, GPU, & HDD
- flashing Video Card BIOS & Motherboard BIOS
- running games in windowed mode (I haven't noticed any difference, still crashes)
- disabling AMD Graphics OverDrive
- uninstalling Catalyst Control Center
- lowering my GPU clocks (I use MSI Afterburner w/ 1000 MHz Core & 1125 MHz Memory)
- running Webroot SecureAnywhere System Optimizer
- disabling Aero Peek
- setting power plan to Maximum Performance & to never shut off display
- ran DxDiag
There are probably some others that I'm forgetting, hopefully someone will know what may work. I just need to know what I need to do in order to help my system "survive" the changes in the system load that it goes through as I game.
