BSOD when gaming Service exception error
I have been having some issues with my computer for a while now and finally decided I would ask around for help.
I did a clean install of my windows 7 believing that would help, but it didn't unfortunately.
Some games that it has happened with:
Dying Light
Evolve
Red Faction
I can play other games just fine, Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor, Starcraft 2, 7 Days to die and many others so I'm not sure what it could be. The BSOD doesn't ALWAYS happen, Dying Light I'm actually not sure it is a BSOD. My screen freezes up completely, there are little rectangles all over the screen, and I can hear the game playing in the background but I can't do anything. The audio just continues. Example being if a zombie is breathing heavily, you will hear it like as if you are still there but nothing else changes.
It has also happened when updated my drivers AND when I did a "sfc.exe /scannow". I downloaded the AMD Catalyst and when it got to my display drivers, it started flickering like normal then went to BSOD. I've had my PC since last July/August and these issues only started happening about 2 months ago. I've been starting to think it could possibly be a hardware related issue at this point.
The only modification I have made in the last 2 months was changing my CPU vent/fan. I changed the stock one that came with my processor and got a bigger one (my computer would get pretty warm).
I would upload information on the BSOD, but I don't have anything about them sorry.
