    thats definately looks like its from your graphics card. have you updated any drivers lately?
    if so this could be the problem. if not its best to wait for others to reply as im not that savy when it comes to the blue screen of death.

    yeah, looks like a GPU issue. i'd update to the newest GPU driver, maybe throw in the new BIOS as well.

    that's a pretty old GPU driver you're using there... i'd update to a v177.XX version.

    I had that problem for awhile I get my notebook back tomorrow here'shoping all goes well from here. I think alot of it is overheating and pushing the cards to far when I lower settings and play less (I can go for hours and hours!) things are better
