BSOD when I play full screen games requiring a constant connection
Hello,
My laptop has been having a lot of BSODs lately. It used to be once every few days, then once a day, then multiple times a day. I have done a factory reset a few times, and this seems to reduce the frequency of crashes for a few days.
It only seems to happen when I play full screen games that require a constant internet connection. This has happened with League of Legends and Dota 2. The crashes happen pretty randomly when I play, sometimes during a game, sometimes immediately after.
It does not happen when I do anything graphically intensive that does not require a constant connection, such as playing Bioshock or using Photoshop, or when I only use my internet connection for torrents, netflix, youtube, and browser based MMORPGS.
When my laptop crashes, my roommate's laptop's internet freezes or stutters for about a minute, but does not crash also.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Please ask if I've missed any information. Thank you.
