BSOD possibly related to graphics card
This problem started happening just last night. I was playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and suddenly, graphical glitches started appearing on the screen (rainbow colors, among other weird effects, it's hard to describe), and suddenly it froze and the sound became distorted and looping. My monitor shut off and on a few times and then my computer restarted.
I booted up League of Legends (which has considerably smaller system requirements) and it happened again. I'm ready to chalk it up to my graphics card dying, but I figured I would upload my minidump file to see if there's anything that could be at fault.
My graphics card is a GeForce 9800 GTX, for reference. I'll install the latest drivers if that looks to be the problem, but I haven't done so yet. No graphical problems or major performance problems exist outside of gaming.
