I'm looking for some guidance or assistance here. Or maybe someone else has encountered a similar issue?
I was experiencing FPS drops while gaming, so I researched undervolting. Initially, it helped—I could play Battlefield 2042 and BFV smoothly without sudden drops after adjusting the voltage with MSI Afterburner. I followed Hotel Hero's YouTube video for some tips. I'm not entirely sure if I'm applying the technique correctly because I can't match the flat line shown in the video.
After the Beta version of 2042, I started facing BSOD errors while playing Witcher (1 and 2). I noticed these crashes occurred whenever I played with MSI/Rivatuner and the overlay active. It was unclear why this happened since I could still play Battlefields with the overlay enabled. It only happened when using Afterburner/Rivatuner. I assumed it was related to the undervolting, but I put everything back to normal and the issue persisted.
I checked my event logs and found a "bugcheck" entry: 0x0000007f (details in the log). A dump was saved at C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP with Report ID 542d586b-4d06-4962-9986-fe1cee65a535.

Did you previously run the Witcher games smoothly? The beta might have replaced some files with updated versions.
Where did you obtain the Witcher titles? Is it GoG?

Witcher is available on Steam. I can play the games without Afterburner or Rivatuner, but using them causes a BSOD. I'm planning to try other games to see if the issue persists.

This thread has been updated to focus on Witcher 3. The issue seems to continue, possibly linked to something other than the game itself. Occasionally I encounter BSODs even when nothing is running except my browser. Event Viewer shows a bugcheck event with ID fa79cc0d-7c10-4b48-8625-78ab3086bddb, and a dump was saved at C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP. I’m trying to figure out what triggers this bugcheck and how it relates to MSI afterburner or Rivatuner. Could you help clarify the cause?
