Solved Bsod's on windows 8.1 and 7

[cuto]

Hi guys,

Lately i am getting some bsod's while playing games. They started in Windows 7 and did not involve any software installations ( PC ran all games for 2 years and suddenly they appeared).

I installed Windows 8.1 and it still happens.

My HDD is a prime suspect.

Here are the dumps.

Thank you.

Hi cuto and welcometo Eight forums,
Could you run a drive scan for malware.

Thank you for the welcoming.

No malware on either w7 or w8.

But this is why i suspect my HDD.

Is the games you have are cracked or original (torrents can be dangerous).

All games are legit from Steam. Last one to cause the Bsod was Unturned, also from Steam. Graphics card passed stress tests, also memory was tested.

Are you sure the graphic card driver is up to date and your PC is not overheating and please give us the code of the BSOD error.

Well,

After 2 days without any bsod , i think i can say the culprit was found. Ive been using Catalyst Control Center for the last 3 years and never had any issues. ATI CCC defaults overdrive support for GPU. It does not change default values but keeps monitoring the GPU , just in case... After uninstalling CCC i could game as normal. Also after reinstalling, disabling Overdrive removed any Bsod. With that said, nevertheless i bought a new HDD and an SSD...

Thanks
