As stated in the forum title I am unsure if the blue screen I have been receiving is a graphics driver, or if it's a faulty graphics card. This blue screen happens randomly, and seems to only happen when gaming for prolonged periods of time. What is weird is that the blue screen happens while...

As the title says, after installing the latest driver I noticed graphics in WoW seemed blurry and poor, now I'm starting to think they're not even in HD anymore. Hours later I got Windows 8.1 and installed that since my old Win7 install disc is MIA. Installed latest AMD driver, installed WoW...
