I have also started to experience same problem in the past week. Play for awhile then things shut down and I get a blue screen. Prior to this I know there were some OS security updates, but I had not updated anything else. After I started to have the issue, I opened up my computer and did a little careful cleaning to get the dust out. Scanned for a virus, and updated video drivers. I am going to try safe mode next to see if I continue to run into the problem. Any other thoughts anyone? Thanks for the help ahead of time.
