I obtained Call of Duty: Modern Warfare from Blizzard’s platform, but the website indicates that I haven't purchased it. Subsequently, I downloaded Doom through Steam and experienced a brief, small blue screen occurrence. This is unusual for me, as I haven't encountered such problems previously. Currently, I’m utilizing a different approach by storing my games on my D drive, selecting a custom download location and creating a dedicated folder during the process. My operating system is Windows 10, with 16 gigabytes of RAM and a graphics card—750ti—and an Intel i930 processor. The problem with video playback stems from my Steam experience, while the image concerns originate from my difficulties with Blizzard. I’m uncertain about how to proceed; could you offer some guidance?

For games on Steam, specify a separate storage area on another hard drive:
Steam game directory
Within the Steam application:
Steam > Settings > Downloads > Steam Library Folders > Add folder
and then reduce the amount of space occupied by your C drive.

Create a copy of your crucial data, and then completely re-install Windows. Evaluate whether this resolves the issue.

For PC games accessed through Steam, specify a storage area on your secondary hard drive:
Steam game directory
Within the Steam program:
Settings > Downloads > Steam Library Folders
Add a library folder
and subsequently, reduce the amount of data taking up space on your C drive.

It would be excessively extreme to pursue that approach without understanding the underlying issue.

Based on my professional observations, a completely filled C: drive isn't indicative of optimal performance for a Windows system. It’s a somewhat extreme approach, but I genuinely believe the C: drive likely contains extraneous applications and is potentially compromised.
