The problem started yesterday while I tried to run Counter-Strike Global Offensive by launching it with the ESEA client and got a BSOD.
At first I thought it was a CS:GO related problem as the game is relatively new and there were GPU problems in the past when the game was beta (I have a NVIDIA GTX560M on a Qosmio x775).
Following forums I figured I may have to flash BIOS and update graphics card drivers. However, despite these updates I kept BSOD'ing every time while trying to launch the game.
Taking my research further I realized the computer would crash while starting ANY game. Even opening the NVIDIA client to change 3d settings led to a BSOD. After a lot of frustration and futile updates, I thought perhaps it was an overheating issue and left the laptop off for the night with all USB ports unplugged.
At first, today seemed good since I was able to go through 3d settings in the NVIDIA control panel with no crash. But, while returning to the original game that caused problems (CS:GO), I got a bluescreen again.
I really need to know what is going on as I haven't the faintest clue. I've attached a diagnostic error report of one of the crashes (there have been many) and I am willing to provide any extra information just as long as I get some responses!
Please help me on this and I will shower you with beneficence, goodwill, and many internet points.
Edit: I found out there is one more graphics card driver to be downloaded and to update the system. Please be patient for a few minutes I'll re-report. I'm sorry for the blatant oversight.
Edit 2: Actually it appears that NVIDIA continues to tell me to update the driver to 301.42 even though I already have it installed. I hope this helps in figuring out what the issue is, I'm guessing a faulty driver? Should I update Intel display drivers by chance? Also Minecraft, DeuxEx Human Revolution, and Medieval Total War II are all confirmed BSOD's as well.
