Random BSOD after playing any game

[SirBehl]

Actually I just have one question. I'm not sure if I did something wrong when installing my driver but I'll give an example of my problem. When I first got my computer, I was able to run League of Legends at a constant 60 FPS no matter what, but now, even though I'm back at this driver my FPS is going all over the place. It's mostly in the high 50s but it will drop spike pretty constantly. I've also noticed a framerate drop in Tera which is a little disappointing should I try reinstalling the driver?

I had a similar problem six months or so ago. It ended up being dust related.

To remove dust, follow the subsequent general procedure. If you have a desktop bought from Dell, HP, Sony, Lenovo, etc. make sure removing the desktop casing will not void your warranty first. Call the company if you are still under warranty and ask if it is okay to remove the casing and blow dust out. The procedure described is fine for laptops; just make sure no stickers are on panels saying if you remove the panel it will void the warranty.

1. Shut down and turn off your computer.
2. Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
3. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
4. Remove the casing for a desktop, or remove any screwed on panels and disc drives for laptops.
5. Blow out the dust inside by using a can of compressed air or a low pressure compressor. You will want to put the computer on a desk or table so you can maintain the can in an upright position if using a can of air. Blow into all crevices on the motherboard, heat sinks, cards, modules, etc. for a desktop. Blow into vents, opened panels, disc drive areas, USB ports, and the keyboard if it is a laptop. You may also want to blow inside the disc drive by replacing the drive to the laptop, starting the computer, opening the drive, and then turning off the computer and removing all power as described above including the 30 second power button step. For a desktop, you may also want to blow inside the disc drive by starting the computer, opening the drive, and then turning off the computer and removing all power as described above including the 30 second power button step.
6. Replace casing for the desktop. Replace panels and disc drive (if you have not already done so) for the laptop.
7. Plug power supplies in. AC adapter for the desktop. Battery and then AC Adapter for the laptop.
8. Start the computer and see if performance is better.

Well sadly I haven't even lasted a day xD Man this is sad There isn't a new dump file either so I can't post anything new. Also this time when restarting my computer actually failed to start and this has never happened before. I forget what check it was but I got an error code 0x490 on start up repair for the only one that failed and since I've only changed one thing on my computer since then xD I'll also try calling Dell tomorrow (even though I'm like 99% sure that they won't do anything) just to see if they can fix this thing. For now I'm just going to go back to the beta because then I only had blue screens after playing games so for now I'll just stick to the beta and not play any games

Alright, sorry to see that. Let us know what Dell says.
