    BSOD playing WoW, and a few other games


    Greetings, I have a problem with my pc. Generally I can handle most of the problems that I encounter, but this one is starting to get to me. I BSOD while playing games, at first I thought it was just World of Warcraft since it's the game I play most. But lately it's starting to happen during others. I updated my Radeon HD 6850 to the newest drivers thinking that it would fix it, but it didn't. Sometimes I can play for hours and hours and not have a single problem, and other times it's crashing after a few minutes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    EDIT: I would also like to say that my pc kind of stutters right before the BSOD.

    Thanks for the reply. I did the disk check, and ran Seatools. Both the long and the short both passed as well as disk check. Here's the screen shot from Disk Info. I'm really at a loss as to what it might be.

    Sorry for such the long wait for the Speccy screenshot, things have been hectic around here. I've been seeing that Avast has been known to be the cause of BSOD, should I uninstall it and install Microsoft Security Essentials as a starting point?

    Yes you can.

    Do you get BSOD-s in safe mode?
