is anyone getting the blue screen of death?

I'm running Win7 and occasionally while playing RDR2, I'll get the BSoD and I have to restart my PC. This happens maybe once every couple of days and only with this game. It doesn't seem to matter how long the game has been running so I don't think it's a GPU issue and it only started within the last 3 weeks or so, though I have been playing several months now.

There's no relationship to what I am doing in the game.

As i would like to give you an answer to your question i cant really bcoz i play on X Box.

I suggest You post this in the PC section. This is the X box/PS 4 section.

Oops, I forget that there are different sections, but I see it has been moved to the right place now.

I had something like this occur last night. Every time I would start the game the launcher would start but when the game should have launched, a blue screen would come up and tell me that it had to restart. Every try after that, same problem. I validated the game files in Steam, restarted my PC and was able to play the game.

After playing for awhile in story mode, my screen starts flashing and looking all weird.  It's not just a flat blue screen, its all different colors and shards of colors, flashing.  I always wind up having to ctrl+alt+delete and exit through task manager.  Give my system a little down time and come back again and it works again.
