    BSOD playing games, Hardware issues?


    Hi, after you helped me in a previous post:
    (Different BSOD everyday)

    No BSOD's in about a week so was very happy. However today I encountered another BSOD.
    Was playing CIV 5 when it occurred and again the Minidump folder was empty. I managed to take a picture of the BSOD as when it happened it would not go away, I left it fro about 10 mins and had to manually restart my PC.

    In the BSOD it says there is a hardware issue, coming up to Christmas I can afford to replace hardware in my PC but I don't know which piece is causing the problem?

    Thanks for your time.
