    So I've recently gotten my laptop back for some repair work on the hinges.
    After a day of using the computer, I play a couple of games of League of Legends.
    After playing a couple of games of League of Legends on the 2nd day its back, I get my first BSOD while playing a game.
    Thankfully, I didn't get banned but now the laptop crashes whenever I play/spectate a game League of Legends at least once a day.
    This problem is getting really annoying and I don't know how to stop it.
    If there is any help out there, I'd really appreciate it! :)

    So far, this has ONLY happened in LoL. Other games run fine, but whenever I play LoL after a long session it just BSOD's and afterwards my graphics card can't be detected after the BSOD. I'll take a look at that video and see what I can do, as I've already updated my video drivers. I didn't BSOD for 2 or 3 days and now it's just happened recently. This is getting extremely annoying!

    Answers to your questions:
    1. This error happened a week ago, and usually every day (If I decide to play LoL), it usually will get a BSOD.
    2. The BSOD usually happens when I am playing League of Legends.
    3. The BSOD usually happens when playing long sessions of League of Legends.
    4. My computer was recently sent for some repair work on its hinges. It was sent back and the only thing I noticed that changed on Windows was only the max screen resolution.

    If you could help me get this problem fixed faster, it'd be much appreciated!

    Ok, So now my computer has frozen twice, once while shutting down, and once when I barely started up. I also got a recent BSOD and here are the detail errors I've copied down so far:
    KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
    0x0000007A
    0xC000009C

    Set your physics to GPU, if that doesn't work try CPU. Set the power management mode to max. performance

    You could run AlienRespawn and roll back to factory settings, if the problem is gone it was probably software conflicts.

    Nevermind, I fixed the problem. Downloaded AlienAutopsy and downloaded any updates I missed and the game has stopped crashing now!
