Windows 10: My drives always crashed while playing all Valve video games

I was playing Team Fortress 2 in the evening. The game crashed several times, as usual, terribly optimized game. However at some point, after a crash, it wasn't installed anymore in Steam until I used diskmgmt.msc which is very annoying.

Video card driver crashing when playing games

We suggest that you rollback your driver. To do so, kindly follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + R to open run dialog box.
• In the dialog box window, type devmgmt.msc and hit enter.
• Right click on your video card driver -> Properties ->
  Driver tab and select Rollback driver.

If the issue persists, it could be better to contact the developer of the game.

Regards.

 

Windows 10 BSOD WHEAA_UNCORRECTABLE when playing embedded videos


This BSOD has been plaguing me for awhile now. It happens in a variety of weird instances.

• Playing videos embedded in web pages
• Playing videos in Steam
• Opening the League of Legends Launcher
• Most recently, I began playing Overwatch and in game, changed the graphics settings to 'Ultra' and it immediately crashed. Now, even opening the game will crash it. I have deleted and reinstalled the game on a different hard drive, it makes no difference.

My computer is old with some new hardware added on over time (so I guess its just the hard drives that are old. I installed a new SSD where I installed to OS. The other hard drives are from 2010)
