BSOD while playing Age of Empires II HD
About 3 or 4 months ago, I've been starting to get these annoying BSOD's. At first, they appeared sparingly, once every 2 or 3 weeks, so I just ignored the problem; then, I got them almost on a daily basis. Also, the BSOD's where occasionally replaced by a screen with a completely scattered image, as if I brought a magnet close to it, followed with a frozen screen.
Sometimes, when trying to restart the system, it would just not turn on, or it just took me to the "Sytem Recovery" menu, because, apparently, it could not start on its own, and I had to restore my system to previous forms.
The problem was so persistent, that my parents sent off my laptop to be formatted. This was about a month and a half ago. After that, BSOD's nor random freezes occurred... until now. Last week, BSOD's and random crashes started appearing again, but only while playing AoE II on Steam. If I watch videos, navigate through the web, listen to music or play any other games, nothing happens. Also, the new occurrence of BSOD's just happened continously during a single day (I was playing, system crashes, restart, system crashes again, and so on, around 4 or 5 times consecutively, then, everything would work alright during the rest of the week, etc).
I tried out a program called BlueScreenView and found out that the crashes have something to do with ntoskrnl.exe.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
