Hey All,

I'm having an issue when playing games, my PC freezes and I have to hard shut down to gain control over my PC, sometimes after a crash I get a blue screen that says "thread stuck in device driver" I've googled this and tried what it says, I've done almost everything but it still happens, the only thing left to do is update my BIOS going by that list and I don't know how to do that really.

I have no parked cores, I checked for malware and have quarantined the issues.

The only thing I have changed recently was my monitor, as the old one died, i swapped down to an old TV I used to use. The build I'm using now is only a month old and haven't had any problems till I swapped monitor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and if any more info is required to help me please post below.
