Hey there,
This started happening to me while playing DotA 2. Source games have given me consistent problems, previously freezing with the sound still playing, but recently, they've been crashing outright, and now, they're BSOD-ing me.
System specs:
Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3
Processor - AMD FX-6300 3.5 Ghz
RAM - Vulcan 8GB DDR3 1600
Graphics - IceQ Boost Clock Radeon HD7950 3GB
PSU - EVGA 500 B 80 PLUS
Here's my crash log:
RYUUJI-Fri_05_20_2016_150002_97.zip
Things I've already tried:
-Reinstalling Steam/problematic games
-Uninstalling/reinstalling AMD drivers
-Using different versions of DX/OpenGL
-Changing graphics settings (AA, shadows, textures, multisampling, etc.)
I'm worried that this means a hardware failure. Thanks in advance for any help people can offer.

Bug check 0x50 usually occurs after the installation of faulty hardware or in the event of failure of installed hardware (usually related to defective RAM, be it main memory, L2 RAM cache, or video RAM).
Test your GPUcard or if you have other GPU use this and see if the system keeps BSODing. If not than your current GPU is (probably) faulty.
Videotest Furmark
To test your GPU you can use Furmark see this tutorial FurMark - GPU Stress Test - Windows 10 blog
FurMark download site: FurMark: VGA Stress Test, Graphics Card and GPU Stability Test, Burn-in Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net
FurMark Setup:
- If you have more than one GPU, select Multi-GPU during setup
- In the Run mode box, select "Stability Test" and "Log GPU Temperature"
Click "Go" to start the test (Looks like it's "BURN-IN test" now)
- Run the test until the GPU temperature maxes out - or until you start having problems (whichever comes first).
NOTE: Set the alarm to go off at 90ºC. Then watch the system from that point on. If the system doesn't display a temperature, watch it constantly and turn it off at the first sign of video problems. DO NOT leave it it unmonitored, it can DAMAGE your video card!!!
If the temperature gets above 100ºC, quit the test - the video card is overheating.
- Click "Quit" to exit
What you are looking for:
- excessive heat from the GPU (report back with anything over 90ºC)
- problems with the video display (picture is distorted or jumbled, picture turns black, etc)
- problems reported by the program (I haven't seen this, but "just in case")
OK, so I did Furmark. My GPU temp never went over 70 C, which seems fine. However, the video itself stuttered significantly. The first time I tested it, after 2:11 or so, it froze and stopped responding. The second time, after ~2:30, it spontaneously restarted my computer.
I don't really understand why it would have to restart (like I said, temps were OK), so this is pretty troubling. Is my GPU shot?
I have similar issues with dual display so far nothing has worked for me . Hope someone has info
Hi crymall,
Before we can continue I would like you to provide a few things for me.
1. A new zip from the DM Log Collector
2. Please fill in your system specsPlease follow this tutorial and download the tool. The tool will give you detailed information about your system specs, please fill in your system specs more completely including PSU, cooling and other used stuff like mouse, keyboard, monitor, case, etc.
The PSU, cooling and other stuff are NOT mentioned in the tool.How to fill in your system specs:
