Solved BSOD while playing XCom2

[nitrosamina]

I was playing XCom2 and my game BSOD about 20 minutes into the game. I did recently update my drivers a week ago. Built computer about 2 and half years ago, never had a problem before.

Any help or recommendations?

Overclocking is enough to cause stop 0x124. As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking and run all the hardware components like CPU, GPU and RAM to their default settings.

See how it goes. Let us know. http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/tp/clearcmos.htm

I will set everything back to stock, and see how it goes. Since I do not know how to read these BSOD files, was there anything in there that shows why it happened (drivers etc)?

I forgot to mention I ran 8 passes of memtest I was fine, I ran furmark was fine, ran 3dmark a ton of times and was fine as well... all while everything was OC'd. I know this may seem ignorant is it possible that one game or it's installation can cause bsod or butts heads with a new driver

Yes mate, it is ignorant.
Troubleshooting it a procedure and you need to follow it. For a stop 0x124, the first step is to stop OC. If you dont follow it, troubleshooting will go nowhere.

Funny enough, I cleaned out the PC was quite dusty, haven't had a problem since.
