Here are a few details:
I'm a casual gamer (no high-end rigs to play games on Max settings or stuff like that)
I have a Lenovo G480 laptop
i3-2328M (2.2ghz x 4)
8gb 1333mhz DDR3
Intel HD 3000 (i know, not for gaming. lol but should be able to play DotA 2)
So, previously, my laptop had 2gb x 2 for RAM (totaling 4gb) and had Windows 7 ultimate x86. I do casual gaming (LoL, DotA 2) and they played fine almost 100% no problems.
Recently, I upgraded to a 64-bit W7 Ultimate and upped my RAM to 8gb (single stick). Now, whenever I try to play anything, I'm able to do so for the first 5-10 mins then it suddenly crashes to a BSOD.
I uploaded a capture of the BSOD so that you guys can see.
I'm not really an extremely computer techie kinda guy so I hope you guys could help me with this problem.
Note though that I recently updated my DirectX to the latest via Microsoft's update pack. So I guess there're no problems there.
It's really kinda frustrating that I'm getting these problems AFTER updating to better specs.
Thanks in advance for any reply. Cheers.
