I just downloaded and tried to play this game (TERA Online) and every 15-45 minutes I will get a random BSOD that calls the error a DPC_WATCHDOG_ERROR. If anyone could help me that would be great.

Hi

Your laptop came with switchable graphics technology. "Intel HD graphics" will be used for low graphic demanding apps and "Nvidia" dedicated graphics will be used for games. But the game you are playing seems to be using "Intel" graphics instead of the "Nvidia" one and thus lead to a BSOD. To resolve this, you should set the "Nvidia" GPU as the preferred graphic processor for all games.

Please follow steps 1 -8 from this link - Changing graphics card settings to use your dedicated GPU on a Windows computer. | Serato Video Support | Serato.com

On step 7 , select the "Tera Online" game executable instead of the example described.
