    Windows 10 BSOD while gaming


    Couple weeks ago, I have started encountering BSOD/system freezes. It happens only while I'm gaming. Usually couple hours into gaming session. After first crash, second or third crash happens 5-10 minutes in the game. If I'm not in the game, I can use PC no problemo. If I leave PC turned of for longer periods turned off (i.e. for the night) next day i can play again for longer period. If it's BSOD, usually it's whea_uncorrectable_error and dump file creation fails. Feels like GPU related issue, hopefully hardware is not starting to fail.

    What I tried to resolve this issue:
    * Checking temps and lowering load on CPU and GPU, making sure it's not temp issue.
    * Reinstalling Windows (helped for ~3 days)
    * Updating drivers
    * Updating BIOS and resetting to defaults
    * Disabling Nvidia shader cache.
    * Reseating GPU
    * Reseating RAM
    * Disconnecting one of displays
    * Stress testing CPU
    * Stress testing GPU (if it's before first crash - it's fine)
    * Putting power plan to maximum performance
    * Turning off fast-boot
    * Praying to gods of internet

    No dumps in the zip file you uploaded.

    Please make sure your PC is configured for small dump files:

    Set all frequencies and voltages to nominal and test. If okay reapply tweaks a little at a time until you find the best setting.
    Remove 1/2 of the RAM and test. If it fails swap ram and test. If it still fails install al ram and continue below.
    Swap out GPU.
    Swap out CPU.
    Swap out motherboard.

    Make sure you get replacements from a place you can return them if the swaps makes no difference.

    Okey. So i've tried multiple things at once.
    * Cleaning computer with compressed air and reseating all the parts
    * Updating game (patch came out)
    * Praying to internet Gods

    Not sure which one worked, but currently no more BSOD. Looks like game (destiny 2) and it's anticheat thingy is notoriously know for BSOD problems.

    Updating game (patch came out) sounds like a good bet.
    Best of luck.
