I've been putting up with a recurring BSOD when playing iRacing for awhile now.
a few times it happened when i was streaming on Twitch so i quit streaming, then it started doing it while just playing the game.

I didn't have minidump enabled so not sure if this will help but i did create the zip file.
Any help is appreciated.

I did a clean install and update to Windows 10.
Installed the minimum amount of the latest software to play iRacing and got a BSOD within 5 mins.
I have narrowed it down to trying to use too high graphics settings within the game or either the overclocking of my processor to 4.6GHz
So, I set all graphics setting within the game to minimal for maximum FPS and have gotten no BSODs.
I guess that is my problem so now I just have to figure out what settings I can use that give a balance between graphics quality and stability.

If you have any other ideas/suggestions, please share.

Don't overclock, a common cause for BSODs

For Me Windows 10 is more likely to get bsods than vista thats why im on 7 beacuse vista is old and it lost support but windows 8 is the most likely for me to bsods and my computer was made for windows 8
