Blue screen when gaming.

I don't know the exact cause but it's happening way more often in the past month or so. The screen would just freeze and a buzzing noise would play, then a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD. This happens 10-40 minutes into a game session.

 

I've tried reinstalling my graphics driver. Thermals don't seem be too extreme. I've turned on the air-con and tried monitoring the temps. My GPU hits 80C max and CPU 86ish max. Even on games without full load like Rocket League, I still crash. I've ran chkdsk as well.

 

I've collected a bunch of dumps, it's attached. BlueScreenView says it is caused by hal.dll+3beff consistently, with ntoskrnl.exe and PSHED.dll in red too. WinDbg says it is "Probably caused by : GenuineIntel". Maybe it has to do with the Meltdown patch for Windows? Who knows.

 

My full specs are in my signature, I'm on Windows 10 Pro 10.0.16299.
