BSOD (3x) Alt+Tab while in game (Steam)

[Honestly]

Received three BSODs in last few minutes while using Steam, happened while playing Warface (2x) and then Besieged (1x).

First BSOD (Warface): I thought it might have been due to trying to save a video using GeForce Experience and ShadowPlay. BSOD when I used Alt+Tab.

Second BSOD (Warface): Geforce Experience was not running. BSOD when I used Alt+Tab.

Third BSOD (Besieged): Changed games to test if it was simply Warface. Don't recall if Geforce Experience was running. BSOD when I used Alt+Tab.

Thanks for your help.

Just had another BSOD. Was in-game, Alt+Tabbed, no issue. While Warface was running in background, I opened Speccy. I could hear the fans spin up and 2 seconds later, BSOD.

Hello, Honestly welcome to the forums. I will see if I can help. All 3 of your dump files blamed your Graphics drivers.

Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information.

I would also suggest you try reinstalling the drivers using this tutorial, and install only the Graphics drivers and PhysX. GeForce experience, causes a lot of people serious problems. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/327414-nvidia-drivers-avoid-problems.html

I would also recommend you uninstall Norton as it is a well known cause of BSODs. Uninstall it, then run the Norton removal tool https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20080710133834EN_EndUserProfile_en_us
Then replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials (Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows) .

Also, if you are overclocking anything, please set everything back to default levels. Try those things and see how you do, then let us know.

Thanks for taking a look. I'll run through this tomorrow evening and report back.

Cheers
