Bluescreen appears during specific video game playback.
Bluescreen appears during specific video game playback.
My computer frequently experiences a blue screen after playing specific video games for some time.
It functioned properly about six months ago before the issue began. There was no hardware change until this year, and only software updates related to the blue screen were applied.
While playing games, my computer suddenly stopped working abruptly. This has happened repeatedly with certain titles. When I power it on, it restarts for roughly five seconds before resuming. Some colleagues think it’s normal because it checks system functionality, though they’re not entirely convinced.
A friend has been assisting me in diagnosing the problem. While attempting to play a particular game, I discovered it would crash during startup. After stopping the Nahimic process, most games no longer caused the blue screen or crashes. This led me to believe removing it might resolve the issue, but it still persists.
Several types of blue screen errors have been logged, with the most frequent being Machine_Check_Exception.
Here are my system details:
- Intel i5 9600k
- Asus ROG Strix Z390-H Gaming
- Crucial Ballistix 16GB 2666MHz DDR4
- MSI Core FROZR XL CPU Cooler
- MSI Geforce GTX 1060 Gaming X 6GB GDDR5
- Antec EAG750 80+ Gold Modular Power Supply
- Samsung 970 EVO Plus 250GB NVMe SSD
- Seagate BarraCuda ST2000Dm006 2TB 64MB Cache SATA
- WD Blue 4TB 3.5 SATA 6GB 64MB Internal Drive
- Windows 10 Pro, version 2004
- Phanteks Eenthoo Pro M Special Edition Tempered Glass White Steel E ATX Mid Tower Desktop Chassis
- TP-Link TL-WN881ND 300Mbps PCI Express Adapter

About a month or two ago I faced problems with my 7700k. You might want to reapply thermal paste to the CPU and check if that resolves the issue. If the CPU is overheating, your computer will keep crashing until it's fixed.
Hi Froggy, sorry for the delay in responding—I was occupied that week. They recommended replacing the CPU because they suspected it was the cause of the blue screen. They also mentioned a stress test before and confirmed no overheating issues. I’m still unsure if the problem was with the CPU or if we should have checked the thermal paste instead.
We have attempted more challenging games but few were successful. We kept an eye on the temperatures, which stayed around 45-55 degrees. In my earlier message, I mentioned that the PC was provided by a professional company and identified the CPU as the cause of the bluescreen issues; they replaced it and the problem stopped. If this happens again, I’ll try reinstalling thermal paste to see if it helps. Thank you for your response.
