Greetings.

Need help in why my PC goes to the blue screen of death while in game.

Is there any idea's i can try to keep it from happening?

I already dropped the graphics to "performance" level. But if it game related wouldn't the game shut down not my PC?

Thanks to those that reply.

You need a PC that doesn't require a hand-crank to start up

Try updating your graphics driver.

Clean fans, make sure they are all working
Check for dust buildup on heatsinks as well.

update video drivers

experiment with changing directX setting in launcher

Sounds like overheating. Open the case up and blow it out with canned air. Make sure to clean all fans especially any on the vid card.

Operator error.

No srsly the problem is likely with the os your using. Run the basic virus spyware scans then run the os repair function to repair your system

first do the cleaning stuff. in 90% of these cases where you have constant bluescreens on load it's overheating.

This is the most correct answer posted so far :) OP, start there.

Also consider grabbing a utility like GPU-Z to watch the temp sensors on your video card.

One other possibility is damaged motherboard/memory/other critical component. So, your computer might already be on its way out.

Or, before you waste time doing something that might not be necessary, look up the stop code that is displayed on the BSOD and see what actually caused the crash. Find a solution to the actual problem instead of just guessing and using trial and error to find a fix.

Grab the stop code next time it happens please, it's in the format of '0x00000000' with last digits being numbers or letters, try to also find the faulting module, usually a file which ends with .sys or .dll. This info will help to narrow it down.

Search your computer for a dmp file. They are normally located c:\\windows. Then upload it to a dropbox and provide us with a link.

Here are some instructions to turn off auto-restart on BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death)

BTW - what version of Windows are you using?
You'll probably find out you've got a bad DIMM (memory module) and you have the problem in-game as the client starts to use more memory, then hits the bad chip on that module. - That is my best-guess anyway :)

Only 11 posts for the proper procedure. That has to be some kind of GD record.
