BSOD when playing on a wow pserver with a huge custom patch
I've been playing on a world of warcraft private server with a custom patch (5GB) since yesterday (includes lotsa graphical changes). Windows was acting weird, screen was shaking, dislocating, had to restart my GPU thro device manager to solve it.
I should've stopped playing right away, I know.
Today while playing again, I got a BSOD, had to force a restart.
Everything seemed fine till I opened a normal WoW client (no customized stuff) as soon as the login screen appeared I got another BSOD.
Then it all got even worse.
I can no longer acces my desktop, I get to the login screen where I have to fill in my password, it loads and I hear the windows opening sound but it gets stuck and windows automatically restarts. Disabling my GPU thro device manager while in safe mode and keeping it disabled is the only way to get windows running "normally".
All hardware parts are 6 years old.
Did my GPU give up cuz it's old? or that custom patch ate my GPU alive?
I hope none of the above..
additional information:
- completely removed GPU drivers and reinstalled
- tried everything on https://www.sevenforums.com/crash-lockup-debug-how/35349-stop-0x124-what-means-what-try.html
- I use MSI afterburner & their on screen display to keep track of my fps/temps/gpu usage and my temps seemed fine while playing
