BSOD while playing games and Rendering
Hi thanks for taking the time to help.
About a month or 2 back i noticed that whenever i played 'Dota 2' or 'The Witcher 3', my computer would freeze completely and then after 30 or so seconds a BSOD would appear with 'error code: Machine Check Exception'.
Running Core Temp i found that my cores are idle at 40-50 degrees celcius but rises to 70-80 degrees when playing games. i somewhat circumvented this by turning on the air con (it's summer in Australia).
However i am now alarmed as when i was trying to render a simple 3d model in maya, the core temps jumped to 90 degrees in a matter of seconds. then it'll freeze and give the same bsod.
What i've tried:
- i did a clean windows 10 install 2 weeks ago
- cleaned out the dust from the fans/filters with compressed air
- ran sfc scan now
