Just in the past 24 hours, I get a BSoD whenever I play world of warcraft. I have had 0 technical issues with this PC in the ~7 years, but 7 years is a long time so maybe it's just too old. Here are some pictures:
Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet
The textured pinkish ones is a screenshot of one BSoD that didn't make it to the error screen, followed by the subsequent bars covering the screen in safe mode. These went away after a few restarts (windows booted to a black screen a couple times, made me worried).
Playing very HQ video files, watching multiple streaming videos, opening tons of applications; none of this results in any error, simply playing WoW is the way to consistently recreate the issue.
As for some stuff I already tried:
sfc /scannow, originally said corruption found but couldn't fix, subsequent scans revealed no errors
The resolved sfc scan happened after I had some issues updating windows; using the system update readiness tool resolved this, windows was up to date after 1 update (was previously up to date, not sure why latest component failed to install), and sfc scan returned no errors
check disk no issues
no out of date drivers
Will try to post the dump as linked in the sticky when I get back home tonight
