Description
SHORT EXPLANATION: Can't do any more 3D graphics stuff (No images, no tutorials) because of this issueSo. If ANYONE has ANY explanation as to how a computer can BSOD on one screen and totally freeze up on the other, I'd like to know the answer. This happens immediately I load any graphics-intensive software, including:
Minecraft
Blender
Autodesk Inventer
Any Video Converter
Autodesk CFD
Mirrors Edge
Saints Row III
Actually, anything that's a game, to do with work, or to do with the models.
The Laptop doesn't function for very long when unplugged from the mains either, and will BSOD within 5 minutes of being disconnected from the mains, or immediately when loading any of the above applications.
I think the issue is the graphics card, but if anyone else has any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment.

Take a look at our temperature if raise from 70 degrees celsius: if happen, use some cooler for laptop under it, and look for dust in the ventilation system ( usually you need look trough lines of copper trying to see light in the another side, if not, could be obstruct ) .
I usually diagnose using some live linux (on some usb or cd) and try to run some 3d app (like second life , the linux version). The good thing of try it this way is linux will not affect your hard disk if you not install it. If nothing bad happens , then could be a software problem.
Also you could give some info about your graphic card. And being an acer not mean nothing : I had one HP with an nvidia gpu and pass away almost at end of warranty.
I guess you fixed all this because happen a year ago...

I don't know if you've fixed it by now, or whatever. But that looks like it's overheating when it's running GPU intensive programs. You also should update your graphics card drivers too.

How long have you had the laptop? It's an acer, so the life expectancy is lower than most...

A year and one month. So, one month out of warranty.

Does the primary display freeze when the other BSODs?

does it only happens when you have the second screen connected?

Nope, when disconnected from the screen, the primary one will bsod.

It is an undefined STOP error code, hex value 0x00000000 (AKA empty) It doesn't give a file with an error in it, but the main message says something to do with driver voltage mismatch, but one time it said it was an unhandled divide by zero exception.
