HELLO, FORUM READERS. Today I installed Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 from my disc and when I start it, I get 15 mins to play it fine. After a couple of minutes, a blue screen appears which quickly disappears, and the PC restarts. Everytime I run the game, I unfortunately get this type of error. I tried updating the steam, updating the GPU drivers. But same appears. The duration isnt fixed but its occurence is fixed. Once when it appeared it had saved some crash dump to my User folder in the Windows Drive. When I was going to read it, it disappeared. Unfortunately, no screenshot which would help me. Any solutions are welcomed

hardware details would be extremely helpful I run a popular gaming site, so I can definitely help out Windows MVP 2010-11, XP, Vista, 7. Expanding into Windows Server 2008 R2, SQL Server, SharePoint, Cloud, Virtualization etc. etc. Hardcore Games, Legendary is the only Way to Play Developer | Windows IT | Chess | Economics | Vegan Advocate | PC Reviews
