    It isn't my imagination anymore.
    Recently my computer has been blue screening. It has maybe bluescreen 6 times over the last few weeks, an issue I have never had before, and only in certain situations.
    If I launch Rust Experimental, the window can sometimes close, but the icon remains in the task bar, but I cannot click it to open it up again. Almost like if alt+tab out of a game that is loading. Except when this happens my computer blue screens half the time and the game crashes and messes with my computer for a while afterwards (I don't know how this happened, but my screen flashed white and I had to reinstall League of Legends, Counter Strike Global Offensive after this happened, There wasnt even a blue screen this time, only the game crashed.)

    Is there a valid reason behind this, or is it possible my computer is infected with a virus or something? It has never blue screened while playing another game before.

    Any suggestions as to why this is happening and potential fixes or bypasses would be great. My computer, while not very good, can run the game reasonably smooth with all of the settings down, and I actually went to test out the new optimisations.

    Happens apparently random for me 2 right near each other then none for a couple of days.

    Last bsod said something like "an external processor has stopped responding" which i assume is the graphics card?

    Edited:

    i would post the dumps themselves if i knew how/if it would be useful.
