    Before anyone asks, yes I have posted this in the gaming section and found maybe it would be better to post here. So, I bought this laptop 2 weeks ago and have been playing games without problems up until now. I installed crayon physics and after doing so while I was playing the game I got a blue screen twice. I believe the reason was because I had bad drivers and so I re-installed and everything worked fine until I saw grey pixels all over the screen while I was playing the game. Now, my question is was the problem caused by the game? I have the latest drivers and I know for sure it did not overheat, it was at 45C. I re-booted and uninstalled it but now Im wondering did this cause any damage to the hardware or thats not possible?
