BSOD. need help!
Blue screens, will anyone know what these dumps are about? Maybe it's a driver...?
My laptop has cooling problems because the copper tube is damaged, however when I play something as simple as minesweeper, windows throws blue screens when closing a program.

2. Enter Safe Mode: Reboot your computer and press F8 or Shift + F8 at startup to enter advanced boot options.
Select “Safe Mode” startup and check if the problem still exists.
3. Update or rollback the driver: Open “Device Manager” and check if any device shows a yellow exclamation mark.
Right-click on the device and select “Update Driver”.
If the problem occurs after updating the driver, select “Rollback Driver”.
4. Check for hardware problems: Check whether the hardware such as memory sticks, hard disk, video card, etc. are installed firmly.
If you have spare hardware, try replacing it.
