BSOD all the time now :(

I posted two weeks ago regarding bluescreen that had started occuring during gameplay. Didin't get any reply but a suggestion that it might be overheating. I know for a fact that isn't the case as I get bluescreen from a cold computer now, and I get them all the time. It's no longer limited to gameplaying.

I've added the minidumps from the last month, 33 in total

Any tips as to what is wrong? I'm pulling out my last hairs here

There are a couple of thing to try:
1/ Ensure your display driver are up-to-date.
2/ Windows patch's up-to-date.

or

If that still fails, then try another video card.

Hope this helps

I see that there is also a BIOS update for you laptop.

Be careful with BIOS updates.

Nothing helps

What I did find out tho, is that if I set the powersettings to max battery instead of max performance, the crashes stop completly. Looks like the gfx card is fried then. Guess I have to hand it in for repair
