Hi! I've had this problem for some weeks now - but I did nothing to my hardware at all.
Well, about the problem. Whenever I start a graphically intensive game in the past few weeks (say Crysis 3, BF3, Metro Last Light), my pc crashes after some moments with the error code 0x8000000000000002 . What could it be? I uploaded the minidump (I don't really know what it is, but I read it's useful) here for you to have additional helpersers.

Thanks for helping me :/
Hurr I didn't even post my specs:
550W 80+ Bronze something PSU
Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3
AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE OC'd to 3.6GHz
Club3D HD7950 RoyalQueen
First thing that popped into my mind is temperature levels or a power issue. Computers shut down when they have insufficient power, or they get too hot. If it is due to graphic intensive games, that will obviously stress your hardware. I googled the error code and it merely states the computer has booted up without having been "cleanly shut down". In other words, the error code doesn't say much about the specific cause of the problem.
try lowering your memory clock and loosen timings
It could be a corrupt driver file or some other corrupted file, force a check disk on next reboot. It will cost you nothing but time and can sometimes solve some of the stranger issues. But yeah most likely a heat or overclock issue.
I will look at the dumps. fyi, 75% of all bsods are driver-related.
however, this is in the other 25%. it's your cpu in this case
