BSOD playing various games, error 0x116 and 0xC2
Hello and thank you for your time,
I have one BSOD issue that's been pretty persistent 0x116, but it only happens in certain games. So far, I've tested 4 games and it's consistently crashing in WoW and Dungeon Defenders: Eternia. Initially I thought it was the latest nVidia driver update because it started happening much more after I updated my graphics card, but that didn't help. I ended up using a driver that is close to the driver my computer came installed with (still using that graphics driver, GeForce 340.52). Since that didn't work, I sent my computer to a shop to clean the fan. my graphics card usually reaches high 70/80-82 degrees fahrenheit (sp?) which is high compared to other cards, but I checked the manufacturer site and I believe it's still within its expected temp range. Again, that didn't fix it, so I contacted my laptop's manufacturer, iBuyPower, and explained my situation and told the rep that I thought my issue was a failing graphics card because the crashing games would work with my Intel graphics card. He agreed and I am thinking of getting my graphics card replaced.
One night, however, I felt like playing League of Legends and that didn't blue screen so I tried another game, Diablo 3, and that also turned out alright, except 1 bsod code 0x116 that happened a day or two after I started playing D3 again, but that was a while ago, but since then I've been alright on the D3 front. So I thought to myself, "Maybe it fixed itself!" So I tried one of the bsod games mentioned earlier and had no luck with that. I'm not sure what's wrong because I feel like a failing graphics card wouldn't work on LoL and D3 if it didn't work on Dungeon Defenders and WoW.
Anyway, onto the next error code, 0xC2. It happened recently, an hourish ago, while I was playing Diablo3 and surfing the web while alt tabbed, waiting for people and whatnot. I'm not sure how to analyze this error.
Thanks in advance for the help!
