Hello, ultimate tic tac toe

Recently, I've been experiencing frequent Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors, and they seem to occur whenever VRAM is overloaded. This usually happens while gaming or running graphically intensive applications, and these issues occur randomly but can recur when memory usage spikes. I've tried updating drivers and monitoring temperatures, but the problem persists.

Has anyone else experienced BSODs related to VRAM usage? What have you done to fix or mitigate these issues?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much!

Hi,

Sorry to hear that!

It is a very long time that we don't have BSODs reports here on the forum or at OTOY Support.

One thing you can try is to use memtest vulkan:

Hope it helps.

ciao,
Beppe
