System question about restart?
System question about restart?
Have you attempted to 'recreate the situation' without this Wallpaper Engine? Typically, BOSDs indicate a hardware problem rather than software or driver issues. Certain underlying hardware problems beneath Windows and the OS often go unnoticed.
You've noted this several times—system reboots occur after the wallpaper engine activates. Have you tried uninstalling the app or stopping it from running as soon as games close? Could it be running in the background during gaming? Does it use the graphics card to display these wallpapers or perform other tasks?
You assumed a 'VRAM issue' might be the cause—could the graphics card or its VRAM be faulty? That aligns with the problem, as reboots happen without any BSOD or warning. Correct?
One method to verify is to use another known working graphics card of the same model, plug it in, and see if reboots still occur. If not, your card's VRAM (or other components) may be defective. Repeated reboots suggest a possible PSU problem.
Generally, running extended stress tests on a PC with faulty parts isn't recommended, as these tests don't typically trigger the short-term spikes seen in cards during certain games.
