I recently started having problems with my CPU overheating, causing games to lag and making my computer turning itself off. After some research I decided to try applying new thermal paste on the CPU. When I turned my computer on it would freeze, followed by an error saying that my display driver had stopped responding and that it has been recovered. I tried playing PUBG to test if the temperature was better which it was (although not as much as I had hoped for), but my computer froze after playing for about 3 minutes, then a bit later it would give me the bluescreen error (dpc_watchdog_violation). What I found interesting here was that the error only showed up on my third monitor, while the others remained frozen. I have three monitors, the third one is a bit older than the others and with a different aspect ratio. My third monitor is the only monitor connected directly to the motherboard, the other two are connected to the GPU (a GTX 770).
What I'm the most worried about is that I might have damaged the GPU while messing with the liquid CPU cooler. I'm not sure how easy it is to damage just by accidentally hitting it. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
