https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7sJzZJ <-- PC Spec List, The only 2 things not apart of it is my 4TB HDD and 500GB samsung SSD, but they don't have windows on it/nor is anything ever running from them during my problems.
 

My computer has been crashing a lot recently and I can't figure out the problem. Sometimes the crashes are bluescreen, while most of the time it's just a complete freeze, monitors go black and then it resets, with no bluescreen at all. The previous bluescreen that I got, I was able to get a screenshot of the error code. It was a SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, and the dxgkrnl.sys failed.

I looked this up and it's graphics related, but I've updated and done clean installs of my graphics drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller, but that has never stopped the problem. I disabled the overclock settings I have with MSI afterburner, but that doesn't do anything either. I've updated my motherboard to the latest BIOS, that never fixed it. Intel software doesn't say my m.2 needs any updates either. Windows is up to date, for windows 10.

 

The crashes only ever happen when I'm playing Retail World of Warcraft. This never happened 6 months ago when I last played, and I played it for 6 months straight basically without it ever having these problems, but 6 months since then, it's now doing full computer crashes.

 

I am able to play classic world of warcraft just fine though, that never makes the computer crash, nor does leaving my computer on for 17 days. I don't believe this is a world of warcraft problem either though, as a few days ago I had the game closed and was running a full virus scan of the m.2 and at a certain point during it, the computer did a hardcrash. I don't remember if it was bluescreen or not.

 

I've ran memory diagnostics tool and that's come back with no problems.

 

I've done sfc /scannow and that does nothing.

 

It's impossible to tell if it's from overheating of the GPU but why would it? I can tell when it's hot as the fans go crazy.

 

I have no clue how to fix this. I can try and force it to crash if someone wants crash logs or the errors I get on retail wow, and yes, I've looked into the error codes I get from wow and any of the battle.net forums that are related to directX and none of the posts have anything to do with me nor do they work.
