Hello,
this issue do not go away: seemingly similar BSOD's, game freezing for a second sometimes, and displayed screen image defects.
Regarding screen defects - these may not be related to BSOD, these defects happen when i connect the monitor to both mine computers at same time thru the HDMI switch and seeing the output of any of the computers. But when i disconnect video cable of either computer, the defects go away. I tried several cables and two different HDMI switches. This did not happen before some time. Maybe some electric fault in monitor? I would guess no interference can do it, i was moving with cables, but not tried to move monitor yet.
Beside image deffects, the screen goes black for moments, i see it happen also in different OS and it is realated to external USB HDD activity (weird, isn't it?). But when i use different monitor, it does not happen. So maybe my default monitor is vulnerable to some curent spikes or some electrical issue that goes from USB port to HDMI. Weird.
Regarding BSOD and game freezing, i want to ask if you can please link to details on what is necessary to provide/do in order you can tell where the problem is. I read that suggested things to try is to:
1) disable firewall (i have none except windows one)
2) disconnect non necessary devices
3) use System restore to undo recent changes
4) check for HDD, memory errors (meant SMART and memtest program - part of many live distributions like rescue cd or mxlinux)
5) roll-back (uninstall) drivers of the devices that was most recently added (it is said to do Safe mode - not sure how necessary this is), check if that works, and then install drivers from official site of the manufacturer
So far here are some interesting Windows Event log entries + link to a minidump.
