BSOD when playing games and During Online Diagnostic
Hello.
I recently reinstalled windows after some serious slowdown issues, and aside from some irregular fan noises everything seemed to be going smoothly. But on thursday, while playing a game (Men of War: Assault Squad 2 specifically) the screen went black, the sound cut off after a short buzz and the computer would repeatedly issue a string of six beeps. When I restarted I got a message saying "Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown". I don't remember everything the message said, but I noticed that the BCCode was "116", which I remember reading has something to do with the Graphics Card (An NVIDIA GTX 460).
The same thing happened again the next day, while playing the same game.
My Computer has also been making an intermittent "revving" noise almost nonstop.
Today I tried running a Dell Online Diagnostic. While it was scanning the graphics card it crashed with a BSOD, reinforcing my suspicion that this is some issue with the graphics card. When I restarted I again recieved another report of an Unexpected shutdown message, this time I copied the problem details:
I have had a similar problem with my Computer before, and I seemed to solve it by brushing dust and fluff off the outside of my Computer. This time I'm thinking of opening my computer and taking fluff out from inside, but I'm not sure this will help, and I have never done anything like that before, so I came to ask for some advice before trying anything else.Problem signature:
