Defiance 15'6
i7 quad core 2,5Ghz
gtx 970m
8 gb RAM
I've had the machine for a month.

My pc started restarting on it's own ever since I've installed the witcher 3 and upgraded the nvidia driver.
Basically any game I try to play now gives me a blue screen and restarts my pc. I tried reverting to the previous nvidia driver but no result.

These are the errors I get

Do I need to send this PC back?

Give us a call tomorrow and hopefully we can get a card to you on Tuesday, it would be Monday but that annoying bank holiday is coming up. It will just mean you have to swap the card over with the courier, so an exchange.

Sorry that has happened as the Witcher was released ://

Anyway just going to go install the witcher guys speak later :)

That is cruel hahaha :D anyway enjoy.
I got to play about 3 hours - it's a brilliant game!

I'll have to return the whole laptop as the videocard is soldered on. Should have gone for vortex =) just didn't think I would be this lucky. :D

Turns out that the fault was with the 8GB SODIMM RAM, no other faults were found. If I knew that was the reason I would have sent only the RAM component rather than the whole laptop.
Oh well.. waiting anxiously for my baby's return.

Im annoyed I never noticed this thread two weeks ago. Picture 4 told you there was a hardware problem with the RAM. First thing I noticed.

Thanks for updating the thread anyway. So often problems get solved but we don't get to hear the ending. This information could help someone in the future searching the forum for the same fault.

Glad you got it sorted because The Witcher III is indeed amazing.

Oh, sorry about leading you astray.... I'm glad they found the issue though and it's getting solved.

No worries, to be honest the MEMORY was not the only error that I was getting so that's why I thought it was the video card too.
I actually had another 2x4gb RAM cards in my house but didn't think of trying them to see if it was the RAM fault.

Anyway having my computer back today after 2 weeks. :D Which is good.

I have just had a similar issue on a defiance. The main issue is that it blue screened while i was playing evolve and now the wifi doesnt seem to work. Not sure if it is related. I have tried reinstalling drivers etc. only other thing i can think of is a full format. I have only had the laptop 2 months :(

Maybe it's best to start a new thread mate.

How are your temperatures?
Was the laptop on your lap covering the air intake at the time of the BSOD?
Have you ran any diagnostics? If you want to test your RAM open the start menu and type in mdsched.exe and press enter. Follow the on screen instructions to test the RAM. Obviously I'm assuming you're using Windows.
