    BSoD while playing League of Legends (ingame)


    Hey, I've been experiencing bluescreens while playing League of Legends. The issue has recently just started to occur immediately after Norton expired. In the attached folder, only the latest two dmp files are relevant to the issue. My laptop only experiences the BSoD after the game starts, and about 10-20 minutes into the game. Nothing graphically extensive or requiring excessive processing power were present in the moments before the bluescreen, however it typically freezes for a second or two before ultimately shutting down. I'm reinstalling right now, to see if it helps. I'd appreciate any help, and thanks in advance!

    Security App
    • Start Menu\Programs\Norton Internet Security

    Crashes indicate Norton being a possible cause. Remove Norton and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials to see if it provides more stability. Uninstallers (removal tools) for common antivirus software. Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes are recommended from a strict BSOD perspective. They do not cause blue screens on the system as other AV products do.

    Microsoft Security Essentials, Free antivirus for windows and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free

       Information
    • Do not start the free trial of MalwareBytes, unselect that option when prompted.


    • Update and make full scans with both separately.

    Start up
    Keep less stuff at the start-up. Only anti-virus, this helps avoid driver conflicts and improves time to log in to windows.

    Resolved


    Thanks, the issue seems to have been resolved. I uninstalled Norton, installed Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials. To make sure I removed any malware or viruses too, I ran an overnight scan. There have been no BSoDs lately, however, I am using my integrated GPU rather than my dedicated. I'll test running it with my nVidia GPU and see if it could be related to graphics cards. Thanks once again!
    EDIT: I've noticed stability issues with my RAM, along with a massive chunk of it being used during start-up and from start-up and on. I'll run MemTest and see if anything pops up.
