📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a Windows 7 user's recurring blue screen of death (BSOD) issues, which occur both when opening games and after 10 minutes of use, with the system only booting in safe mode. The user suspects recent hardware changes, like a new case fan, and also considers driver updates, particularly the video driver, as potential causes. Several community members suggest troubleshooting steps, such as running debugging tools to analyze dump files and reinstalling drivers or software, but the original problem remains unresolved.

Hey peeps,

My windows 7 pc alaways was a pain in the buttcheeks but now it has a very annoying problem. Whenever i try to open up a game i get BOSD. Even without opening a game it will get BOSD after 10 minutes. I did install a new case fan recently, maybe that has something to do with it? My potato will only boot up in safe mode. I hope someone can help me with this.

Anyways, here are the specifications:

CPU: AMD A8 Radeon 7600
GPU: AMD Radeon r7 Graphics
PSU: 550 WATT Corsair Power Supply
RAM: Kingston 1600MHz 8GB
Motherboard: ASUS A88XM-A
Hard Drive: Toshiba 500GB hard drive, Western Digital 500GB hard drive, 250GB Kingston SSD

EDIT: It seemed the Steam Client service was causing the issue, if you have this problem too you should reïnstall steam, uninstall all the Iobit bullshit, uninstall all the pirated games and run a sfc scan.

Can you post the dump files please.

The more we see the better as it helps in determining the cause.

You can test your HDD by running an app called Seatools. It's a Seagate app but will work for almost any drive:

The dumpfiles are the same as the previous dumpfile i sent you. But i did notice something about the hardware in my bag of potatos, the motherboard has a tiny scratch on it next to the molex cable plug and whenever my cpu gets a bit of pressure it gives bsod.

Hmm... Any chance you could take a photo? If it's tiny then chances are there's no issue.

When you say 'pressure' do you mean when the cpu has to work harder?

If this is the case then chances are your overheating.
Use HWiNFO to see what your cpu is like at rest and at full load:
