BSOD From "ntoskrnl.exe" While Playing Graphically Intensive 3D Games

Here are my specs:

> MOBO = Asus P8Z68-V
> CPU = Intel Core i5-2500k (Sandy Bridge)
> RAM = 8GB 1600 Mhz Corsair Something
> GPU = EVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD Superclocked
> SSD (Windows on it) = OCZ Vertex 3 60GB
> HDD (Evertyhing else) = WD Caviar Black 2TB

When playing Crysis 2 on DX11 mode (everything maxed out) I ALWAYS get a BSOD within 10 minutes.

On DX9 mode, I can go for hours.

Other DX11 games worked however, so I assumed this was a Crysis 2 problem.

However, I now have Battlefield 3, and have probably played for about 40 hours or so.

In this time, I have gotten 2 BSODS.

This game uses DirectX 11 too (However, I have other DX11 games which function fine).

I downloaded Bluescreenview, and apparently it is a problem with ntoskrnl.exe, every time.

Attached to this thread are my minidumps.

Can anyone tell me what the solution is? I have tried chkdsk /f.

 

Personally, I would first make sure that my video card driver was up-to-date, as it would be the easiest thing to rule out; Nvidia makes it pretty easy:

If that didn't help, you can REALLY get into some serious diagnosis using the HOW TO: Debug Memory Dumps (Figure out what is causing a BSOD) FAQ.

Thank you for your reply, but yes I have the latest drivers (Battlefield 3 requires them).

I have also tried a clean driver reinstall.

I'll try that link.
