desperately requiring your knowledge, team.
In my recently launched INTERNET/GAMING CAFE, after several hours of gaming—particularly DOTA2—and typically when players press ALT+TAB to switch between windows (chrome for Facebook, YouTube, etc.) during gameplay—the system suddenly freezes into a BLUE-SCREEN OF DEATH without any clear error message. Just the disappointing face and the sad news it brings.
Current Set-up:
10 brand-new units, all identical specifications
Air-conditioned Room
Overclock settings are defaulted (OC n00b here)
All drivers updated and latest BIOS-firmware installed.
Specifications:
OS: Windows 10 PRO 64-bit
Motherboard: MSI A68HM-E33 v2 (Latest BIOS installed)
CPU: AMD A7860K APU (STOCK heatsink/fan assembly)
Graphics: No video card. Only using the AMD-APU
RAM: 2 x 4GB Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3 1866MHz
Hard drive: 240GB Kingston UV400 SSD
Monitor: Acer 20" 1366 x 768 Monitor
+++ Added 1 COOLING FAN
****************************************************************
Should there be any adjustments needed (especially regarding the Overclocking settings) to prevent this issue instead of relying on defaults, could you assist? Your help would mean a lot.

Joe-L:
Try to avoid overclocking completely first.
hi Joel,
I might not have explained it clearly enough. Sorry if I used the term "default" incorrectly—it actually meant the default overclock settings for the purpose of this discussion. In reality, I didn't perform any overclocking at all when I said the settings were set to defaults. So in short, I didn't actually overclock those units that caused the BSOD.
