    BSOD playing games with Steam. Multiple error messages.


    Hello!
    Since last weeks I've had multiple BSOD's and it seems to happen mostly while I play games through steam. Games like GTA4, The witcher 2 and Sleeping dogs cause the crashes while I for some reason can play Shogun Total war 2 for hours without problems. Games that are not connected to steam, like Battlefield 3, seems to work good as well. I don't have any cd/dvd tools like Daemon tools installed. I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this problem.

    Hello Kwandao and welcome to Sevenforums.

    Have you tried to disable the Steam Overlay? To do this-
    * Launch Steam and click on the "Settings" button. Click on the "In-Game Settings" tab.
    * Uncheck the box next to "Enable Steam Community In-Game" and click OK.
    * Disable the Steam Overlay on specific games only by right-clicking on the game title, click on "Properties" and uncheck "Enable Steam Community In-Game" in the "General" tab.

    Troubleshooting

    Different culprits pointed towards your ATI Graphics Driver. Driver Sweeper will ensure that you'd have a clean install at the end of the procedure, and by that no leftover files that'd bork the system.

    * Make your way to ATI Drivers - Downloads and download the latest driver for your card, save it to your desktop for instance
    * Uninstall the Graphic driver you currently have and all its extensions (do not reboot yet)
    * Download Driver Sweeper
    * Get to safe mode (without network) and search for Driver Sweeper in your START
    * Select all the ATI components and analyse them
    * Clean them, head into Windows without internet and install the driver you've downloaded previously


    DirectX

    * Have you updated your directX recently?
    * What's your temperatures just before a crash?
    * Does the crashes only happen on demanding games?
    * Have you checked threads on Steams Forums?
