I've been putting up with a recurring BSOD when playing iRacing for awhile now.
a few times it happened when i was streaming on Twitch so i quit streaming, then it started doing it while just playing the game.
I didn't have minidump enabled so not sure if this will help but i did create the zip file.
Any help is appreciated.
Hi Piranha,
dump files are there, someone will look at them shortly.

Anyone?
looking in the dmp files its telling me that hal.dll and ntoskrnl.exe (Short for Windows NT operating system kernel,) is causing the bsod's I don't know what hal.dll is all I know thats a important Windows file and ntoskrnl is something to do with the kernel. look online

I did a clean install and update to Windows 10.
Installed the minimum amount of the latest software to play iRacing and got a BSOD within 5 mins.
I have narrowed it down to trying to use too high graphics settings within the game or either the overclocking of my processor to 4.6GHz
So, I set all graphics setting within the game to minimal for maximum FPS and have gotten no BSODs.
I guess that is my problem so now I just have to figure out what settings I can use that give a balance between graphics quality and stability.
If you have any other ideas/suggestions, please share.
For Me Windows 10 is more likely to get bsods than vista thats why im on 7 beacuse vista is old and it lost support but windows 8 is the most likely for me to bsods and my computer was made for windows 8
