BSOD CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION ntoskrnl.exe after ~1 hour of uptime
I keep getting the above-stated BSOD after about an hour of normal use (playing unreal or half-life engine based games/minecraft). When the BSOD is about to occur, chrome usually crashes, my start bar no longer works (hovering/clicking does nothing) and my sound either stops completely, or begins to do a low rumble. Other times it goes to a black screen and the windows spinning wheel of doom takes over, and when I can anticipate a BSOD coming, Ctrl-Alt-Del does nothing (probably not a surprise).
I am at wit's end with trying to resolve the issue. I have looked up the error online a bit, and the solutions are much too vague and system-dependent. I have tried to update my drivers (ethernet and sound to realtek's most up-to-date) and I have done the PC-Doctor diagnostics that came with my board, which have told me that nothing is wrong with my hardware. I haven't yet done a chkdsk on my drives yet, but the TB drive will take forever, and the diagnostics tell me that it's fine anyway.
Any advice?
