Hey everyone, so I've recently just built a new computer 2 days ago and its been running well when I'm not playing games or anything but as soon as I run a full screen game it blue screens after about 10-15 minutes.

The blue screen messages are always different, I've downloaded a blue screen viewer and here are some of the previous blue screen causes..

Also one of the latest blue screens were:
SYSTEM_THREAD_NOT_HANDLED dxgmms2.sys

Ive tried refreshing windows because my friend said some files might be corrupt but it didn't help.

Hello Jono94

Many times the issue is related to the graphics card driver. You may want to update the driver in case it is old. Or, if the PC has latest graphics card driver, you may want to download one level older version of the driver and try installing it on your computer.

Sometimes the latest drivers are not compatible with the current hardware device and therefore they fail to perform correctly.

This tutorial may also be of some help to you.

Cheers!! :)
