Hello guys,

I've been having blue screens when playing games on my laptop (Skyrim, Hearthstone, League of legends). I didn't have this problem before. I tried reinstalling my graphics card drivers with no success and im kind of stuck now so I need your help :)

My system specs are:
CPU: Intel core i7 3610QM Ivy Bridge @2.30GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M
RAM: 8GB DDR3
MOBO: CLEVO W150ER
BIOS: American Megatrends version 4.5.6

I think the problem lies within the GPU but im not entirely sure. The bluescreen says something about nvldksys or something about display. The CPU gets around 70 degrees max when playing games (I used Core Temp)

Thanks for the reply. I deleted all drivers and downloaded the stock Nvidia drivers for my laptop from driverscape.com
I'm installing them now. Hope it works!

update: I restarted my pc after installing and ran Skyrim. I played for three seconds and it crashed... No bluescreen but windows gave me this error:"Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" Not sure what to do next.

Try running Unigine Heaven benchmark and monitor your CPU/GPU temperature and usage

I dont think that is needed anymore :) I have been playing skyrim for 4 hours now without crash. I think I have to reapply thermal grease tho CPU gets to 86 degrees. Thanks for the help !

Update: Looks like I celebrated too early.... I was playing hearthstone today and it gave me a bluescreen after 30 minutes of gameplay... not sure what to do... :(
