Alright techs.
I am having an issue with my PC.
Whenever I start Tibia (the game), my screens blink once, speakers (or the drivers) shut down and 10 seconds later I get BSoD.
I am wondering what might be causing BSoD, but I am clueless, so here is some (I hope) useful info:
-It's not caused by loose PC parts as my PC is standing in the same position, same angle etc. and remains untouched since last month.
-It's not caused by the drivers, I haven't changed them since last month or so, I have only installed SteelSeries Engine and drivers for the headset.
-The only things I've installed this (and the last) month were: [url=http://puu.sh/6PycM.png] >Image< [/url]
-Explorer.exe crashed for me plenty of times recently, mostly when I was trying to upload a file using puu.sh program.
-I did not get BSoD in any other game/time.
And ofcourse, my PC specs:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
M: Gigabyte 970A-D3
CPU: AMD FX-8350
GPU: Radeon Gigabyte Ed. HD7970
If you want me to run any testing software then just link me it and I'll give you the output, thanks in advance!
Download [URL="http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html"]bluescreenview[/URL] and paste the text of the topmost BSOD (the most recent). That'll allow us to see what error the BSOD is throwing.
The most important details are the stop code (0x002b0whatever) and the error name, which is usually something in all caps with underscores, like IRQL_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL.
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION.
Also 2 files are marked with red background: ntoskrnl.exe and win32k.sys ( I hope it's not a kernel issue.. and if so, why only in this particular game ? )

Could you paste the numeric error codes that go with that?
Posted it up there, sorry for the delay
Well, here's where it becomes no fun.
[URL="http://www.reviversoft.com/blog/2013/01/system-service-exception/"]SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION[/URL] with a 0x3b error code basically means bad drivers. Somewhere.
If you have not updated your Catalyst drivers and there is an update, update and see if that fixes or helps. Also make sure your sound drivers are also up to date, but start with the graphics drivers and try updating the sound if the graphics drivers don't help.
If you do have the latest drivers, there might be some incompatibility with the latest drivers. However, you have to be careful with downgrading drivers when using AMD, because it doesn't like to do that as much as Nvidia does, so I'm not suggesting that yet.
Also, just to be safe, download [URL="http:// malwarebytes.org"]Malware Bytes Antimalware[/URL] and give it a scan. The free version is fine for what we want, and make sure the definitions get updated before scanning. I don't think there's a virus or anything, but it's best to be sure.
I updated GPU drivers and it did not BSoD me again, but when I started the game, audio playing device switched from speakers to monitor (I got monitor with speakers) which is odd.
I'll post once I get this BSoD again.
