BSOD while watching a YouTube video

Teo265 · 19 Dec 2015

Hello! I was hoping that someone could help me with my problem. I recently got a new monitor (BenQ XL2411Z) to replace my 2 old 60Hz monitors.
To make sure everything is fine, I uninstalled my drivers with DDU and installed newest Nvidia drivers 359.06 after I had the new monitor installed. Since then I've had some strange issues, such as being unable to start Killing Floor 2 at all. Then my PC BSOD'd while watching a YouTube video. My PC should be rather beefy as I can run GTA V with near-maxed settings that I've optimized. FPS is always high and gameplay is smooth ect. Temperatures also keep cool.

I have never had this kind of an issue before and this got me really worried/nervous as I don't know myself what the issue is. Nvidia's reddit had some threads about the newest drivers being bad but would it cause a BSOD?

Thanks beforehand if anybody is willing to aid me! I greatly appreciate any help!

You are running an ASUS Product ID (PID) on an MSI board.
This makes your installation counterfeit.
Troubleshooting a counterfeit installation is useless as it is not known what has been modified to your system.
A counterfeit installation contains heavily modified code which causes the system to behave in unexpected ways.
For this reason, analyzing counterfeit systems is unreliable and most analysts won't try it.

Code:

OS Configuration:          Standalone Workstation
OS Build Type:             Multiprocessor Free

Registered Organization:   
Product ID:                00359-OEM-8992687-00007 <-- ASUS PID on MSI board
Original Install Date:     13.1.2015, 13:55:32
System Boot Time:          20.12.2015, 1:41:35
System Manufacturer:       MSI

I recommend to install a genuine copy of Windows.
If, after you have installed a genuine copy of Windows, you still get BSOD's we'll be happy to assist you.
