For the past month my computer has started crashing when I'm in a game of Dota (and just dota mind you, any other program or game on my computer works perfectly). It will sometimes crash when I play a bot game by myself, but if I am playing a game with a friend it always crashes and multiple times at that. In some instances these crashes had led to my computer to blue screen, sending off different error codes each time. Another time it even uninstalled my network and audio drivers as well as the game itself, long-story short I had to reinstall windows. So far in my efforts to troubleshoot any possibilities of it being a software issue, I have tried; resetting my router, reinstalling windows steam and dota, and making sure all of my drivers are up to date. After all that I still face the same issue, which leads me to believe it is a hardware issue. With everything in my system running at stock setting, I ran my cpu under a stress test using IBT for 5 rounds under max settings, no error. Then I ran my gpu under a stress test using the firestrike stress test, again no errors. Finally, I tested my ram using memtestx86 for the full test, and again no errors. Those are all the tests I know how to do, and for the life of me I cannot seem to figure out why my computer does this. Are there any more troubleshooting methods I could try? Any possibility one of my components is faulty or broken? Does anyone else have this issue, or had this issue in the past? Please help, I just bought the battle pass and I can't play pubs if I can't even play a match without it crashing.
