I have been having BSOD issues for quite sometime now and I've been investigating into my issues and thought maybe i don't have enough dedicated VRAM and that not all of it was allocated, so i went to check System Information to see what was up and it says I have 1,048,576 bytes of Adapter RAM on my graphics card (EVGA GeForce GTX 1070). I knew this was not right because that is about 1MB and i should have 8GB of VRAM. Then i went to check my Display adapter properties in Advanced display settings, and that says that i have 8192 MB (8GB) of Dedicated Video Memory. I think this is the reason my computer crashes when i play intensive games, but i have no idea how to fix it.

Are you running the card or CPU overclocked? If so...


Are you running the card or CPU overclocked? If so, disable them temporarily and see if the issue persists. Unless if there is a physical fault in the card's PCB, VRAM can't cause a BSOD afaik.
