Hey guys, hoping someone here can help me Identify the cause behind my issue.
During certain game applications, my pc locks up and becomes unresponsive, most of the time with an arbitrary colour on screen with no text. I've seen lots of different colours, light brown, teal, cyan, pink etc.
Applications in question; Sims 4, immediately crashes my pc with a random colour (usually cyan) 1-5 minutes into gameplay.
GuildWars 2 - 1-20 minutes, same thing.
And today, Blade and Soul, after about 3 or 4 hours of gameplay, pc locks up, had to hold down the power button to restart, logged back into the game and same crash within a few minutes.
This made me think it was a temperature issue (ordered some thermal paste in case that needs replacing).
Only issue is that even though I have speccy/ msi afterburner running (30-35c idle, 50-60 in game (both cpu/gpu)) I can't actually check the temperatures the moment it crashes, so can't confirm if it's a heating issue.
I've attached the zip file from the BSOD help post. Any help/ suggestions appreciated.
