Question

My PC bluescreens when playing RUST and CS:GO

Mar 25, 2016 7:35AM PDT

Hello. My computer isn't good but it isn't that bad, it can run most of the games I play on playable FPS. But after playing a game for about 30 minutes my PC bluescreens. I don't know what the problem might be, if u do know tell me what it is and what i should do to solve it. I will provide information that would help u understand why it bluescreens. It bluescreens when i play RUST, CS:GO.
Here are the bluescreen logs http://i.imgur.com/hpsdJEN.png

I forgot to include my pc specs:

8GB RAM
Processor Intel Core i5-3350P 3.1 GHz
64 bit operating system
Windows 10
The graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series
Power Supply: SL-500G Power Supply 500W

I think that is it

When you get a cornucopia of errors.

When I see a range of errors like that I think heat, power supply or infections.

The PSU is a single rail.


But you didn't tell which 7800 you have. The higher models can tap the PSU too hard.

As to heat NEVER rely on temp monitors as those only read a few parts. As a test you do your dusting and check heatsinks then point a fan at the internals then retest.

As to infections you see if they use torrents and then you know right there. If not you try Grif's scans at http://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/how-to-remove-pup-option-603542/#post-f742c795-5881-433b-a29b-6d758efe5cd3

Here's the awful truth. The dumps are good to know but they rarely point you to the exact cause.
