Hey there, I experienced a BSOD recently and things became quite unstable. One of my games would freeze on a black screen after developers or publishers appeared. It happened when I tried to launch my campaign game, Battletech. The second screen would flicker whenever anything was done—like streaming Netflix or pausing the game—and then a program would open in my taskbar for a brief moment. Some performance issues followed. The BSOD mentioned something about 'driver' and I’m worried it might be damaged. I’m trying to understand what’s going on and whether I should be concerned. I’ve reinstalled the game, run a clean PC scan, checked for viruses, powered down the computer fully overnight, and updated my GeForce drivers. I plan to reinstall drivers later, but right now I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. I tend to panic when dealing with complicated steps. Could you please walk me through this in simple steps? Thanks a lot.
