BSOD before & after fresh Windows install, while playing War Thunder
1st I'd like to say hello to all, I just joined the forum. And now to the problem:
I have been playing games lately and have had 2 BSODs on the same game before and after fresh Windows installation. Before BSOD's the game kept crashing occasionally with multiple NvStreamSvc errors in Windows event/alert log during the fall and current moment.
After I got my 1st BSOD, I installed fresh Windows in, because I believed it was caused my some sort of driver problem.
Game crashed again and I did few "fixes". I set all power savings from Windows and Geforce management off and put bar from Quality to Performance from 'Geforce control panel'
Then I set "NVIDIA Streamer service" from automatic to manual.
After these procedures I got to play the game without crashes for about 5 days (which earlier was about 30min per crash). Until tonight I got BSOD again.
This custom PC is fairly new, got it in the summer 2013. (System specs are in specs menu.) I ran memtest for memories over night and got 0 errors for them about 7 pass if I recall right.
I installed Windows diagnostics tool, and got something out of crashdumps. Game is called War Thunder and that's the aces.exe in PROCESS_NAME parameter, which was running when BSOD struck.

--------------------------------------------------------
So the main question I have is that could this be related to my graphics card (nvstreamsvc in earlier windows log), CPU (Genuine Intel) or is this just related to the game (aces.exe)? I got then crashes also on other game, but no BSODs yet from it.
I've been looking the game forums, but haven't seen this problem with anyone else.
