I just booted up a game (Just Cause 2) I have put over a hundred hours into without issue and after about 2 minuets it had graphical glitches and crashed to desktop. So I loaded it again and it did exactly the same.
However the second time both of my monitors turned off (went onto standby) while sound continued from the game, then after a few seconds the monitors came back on and I had a bluescreen message for a further few seconds (I could only read the 'windows has been shut down to prevent damage' bit in time).
I rebooted the computer and had an error message which I roughly edited together on paint and will attach bellow.
Currently I am running a virus scan and making sure windows and my drivers are up to date. Recently I have installed a few new games but everything seemed to go smothely and it just confuses me that something has so catastrophically interfered with an older game.
