BSOD when watching videos and sometimes randomly

[jsvtgrad]

Almost always does it when I am streaming a video. I'm pretty computer savvy, but this one has me scratching my head. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. This is getting pretty annoying.

Welcome.

Please remove McAfee as a test.

Install MSE in its place.

Microsoft Security Essentials is recommended from a strict BSOD perspective, compatibility & stability compared to other internet security software. Malwarebytes is a great combo to MSE. They are free and lightweight.

Also uninstall your existing Antivirus software before you install MSE.
