Hi all.
I have been suffering from several BSODs for over a year in my laptop. The error message keeps changing, and sometimes I can get 3 or 4 blue screens a day. A few weeks back I did a system reset hoping it would fix these errors, but they keep happening. (I already asked this question but no one answered and I really need to fix this)
They mostly happen while I'm playing games, and some games seem more prone to errors than others. There are some games I can't even play, and others I can play with zero problems. One thing that's always common is that BSODs are almost guaranteed during games intro cinematic / videos or in certain game menus (i.e Cities Skylines or Civilization V game menus always make my PC crash after a certain amount of time).
The BSODs can also happen at random while I'm watching a video, reading a PDF or just simply doing anything. It's 15:30 P.M and I already had two BSOD, one while reading a PDF and other while I was playing a game. Sometimes the screen glitches for a few seconds, with some horizontal bars twitching across the screen. Sometimes the graphical glitches persist even during the BSOD.
Every time I get a crash, after the PC finishes gathering crash data and it reboots, it sends me to Windows Repair, and it never fixes anything. Many times it says it's a Kernel error and that I should repair Windows with an external copy. If I force shutdown keeping the power button on, It starts without problems.
I have several dumps in the minidump folder, and using WhoCrashed gives me this:
