I have been having problems with playing games on my computer lately where i get a BSOD while playing games like War Thunder. This started happening maybe 2 or 3 months after i got a new HDD and before this it never happened. I tried clearing the dust off my fans and my computer isnt even hot when it happens so it isnt overheating issues. I have not experienced it outside of playing games so i am assuming it is a graphics card issue. i dont remember it happening while playing skyrim though so only on some games i guess (it was happening with company of heroes as well, though, and as far as im aware that game is much less intense on a computer than skyrim). i have also noticed that my BIOS is on a older version but i want to save updating that as a last resort. besided, i have been on this same version for a while and only just started experiencing the problem.
