    Random BSODs when gaming and surfing the webs


    I'm not sure if my new CPU cooler has anything to do with it, but coincidentally, the BSODs started occurring after I installed a new cooler to prevent my computer from restarting or shutting off due to the CPU overheating. Since the new installation, my computer has stopped restarting because of overheating , but I have gotten three BSODs, all having the same BCcode 1e . Apparently there's a problem with my video hardware. What steps can I take to fix this problem? Please and thank you! :)

    Thank you, I did all I could do for now. I haven't gotten blue screened yet, but I still have to update gdrv.sys, nusb3hub.sys, and nusb3xhc.sys.

    The caution indication can be converted to good using CrystalDiscInfo. Click on the caution Button, you will get another window ....


    In the resulting window, there are three sliders in the left. Drag them to the ultimate left, and notice the values at the right side are converting to zeros.


    Now click the apply button, and notice that the caution is gone.

    Hi D: I got blue screened again but I got a different code (3b). I was playing a pc game and skyping simultaneously when it happened. Apparently it's a similar or the same problem as before...

    How old is the entire system?

    Specifically, the graphics card?

    I'm not exactly sure. I want to say a few years at least. Is there a way I can check?
