I don't know what else to add.. my computer blue screens when I play certain types of games, mainly.
But I can pressure it with, say, a benchmark without it blinking.
I tried getting a new GFX-card and a new HDD (SSD).. reinstalled everything on the new HDD with as updated drivers as I could find.
It hasn't changed a thing..
Hello BBMorti!
► First, Free up the startup.
- Click on the Start button
- Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
- Select the “Startup” tab.
- Deselect all items other than the antivirus.
- Apply > OK
- Accept the restart.
► Uninstall and reinstall Display driver
- Download and install |MG| Driver Fusion (Driver Sweeper) 1.1.1 Download.
- Reboot the computer in Advanced Boot Options, safe mode. Search Driver Fusion in your start menu, and remove all components of your nVidia display driver.
- Boot normally now. Go to Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers, follow option two to search for the appropriate driver for your system automatically, and install it.
► If those fail, Uninstall MagicDisc
Then report the situation to us. If after these three the system is still crashing, we are to think differently.
Alright, I have followed your instructions to the letter.
Should I leave all the startup items deselected or was is only necessary to have them deselected for this exercise ?
I will report back when/if the next blue screen happens.. sigh
Alright I have new crash dumps, it didn't fix my issue.

What we need are the files as per Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions, not the who crashed output.
Don't you have those from the OP?
Edit: added a new one including the latest dumps, then
Excuse me if I sound frustrated.. I am starting to think a computer that doesn't constantly crash is a myth.
