Hey guys, looking for help on the matter of crashing, freezing, BSODs, and general computer un-wellness.
I have quite an eventful time when attempting to play games lately, though it has been a problem for some time. I occasionally get BSOD errors when playing games such as Killing Floor, Warframe and Call of Duty, and also instances where the game crashes, my PC freezes (with a horrific audio error that forces me to reset the PC), and I've also had the audio completely drop out from all open sources. I've not really tried a variety of games because I HAVEN'T FELT LIKE IT, DAD.
I sat down for a Frostpunk session today. I assumed I would play for a few hours, build a prospering city wedged in a ravine with a workforce of bustling automatons. Lo and behold, I lasted all of about 15 minutes before I ran into a BSOD. I'm able to run games such as AoE III and Northgard with no problem, but Frostpunk isn't invited to this party.
My recent Warframe experience consists of roughly 10 minutes of in game fishing time, followed by a minute long 'restarting the PC after crashing sesh' followed by another round of fishing. Warframe's crashes are pretty consistent with the time I get, 10 minutes being the average. Games like Killing Floor are pretty sporadic. I can get to the end of the 9th wave before my PC has a heart attack, or it can crash before I even get to the main menu.
I can run League with no problems but who even cares about that game?
I can remember a 'System thread exception not handled' and a 'Kmode exception not handled'. My PC sounds like it's dropping the ball when it comes to handling things.
Also, I would have refreshed my PC and gone as far as restoring it, but apparently I'm missing some files to do so, which is a mighty annoyance, and I no longer have the installation media to replace the files that I need.
I'll also bring to your attention the fact that I run a dual monitor setup, both the same model, but one of them doesn't have the capability to run properly. It has occasional screen tearing, and the refresh rate is visibly worse, though I've set it to be exactly the same as the primary monitor.
If someone can help me with one of my issues, I'll save money on psychology visits.
