Yes, missing game files can lead to a blue screen.
Hey everyone, had a session with Cod Warefare 2 multiplayer last night. The PC restarted unexpectedly when switching from lobby to match, reloaded the game multiple times with a blue screen each time. Sometimes I could join and it worked, but other times it crashed. I tried another game—New Need for Speed—for 45 minutes without issues, keeping GPU and CPU loads high. I ran some loops of R23 and everything worked smoothly. I updated the GPU drivers, checked the game files, and noticed 39 missing files. Could those missing files be causing the resets or blue screens? After fixing them, I managed to play three games but went to sleep. I plan to test more today.
Blue screen indicates a serious problem with the operating system or likely a hardware fault. Application-level issues shouldn't trigger this. Frequent restarts may result from an insufficient power supply unit. Review the Windows event log for system-related errors.
