Hey, not really sure where to post this but I'm having some troubles with a recently purchased a rig off CraigsList (risky business, I know). Loading into games of Dota2 or Starcraft2 causes me to blue screen and get the Thread_stuck_in_device_driver error. Googled the issue, ended up here to see where the PSU I got ranks and it appears to be Tier4. Yikes! I have a Corsair CX600 to go with an AMD APU A-series w/ Radeon R7. I've tried reinstalling drivers but haven't attempted the clean install. I'm wondering if I'm better off looking into getting a new PSU? The guy I bought it from suggested looking into one with Cross-firing. I'm still really new to this so I'm trying to learn while this gets sorted.
Thanks!
 
Solution
Please get a better psu than that POS. Head to the tier list and look at the tier ones. They are the best. EVGA G series and Seasonic are some great ones.
