Think this is the right place, bit unsure.

 

Bit unsure exactly where it came from, but i noticed after i was trying to run gta V, at first i ran the came for more than a few hours, but the next day i had repeated crashes with a shorter timeframe between each one, until it reached the point in which it seemed to be almost random, though it was always sooner rather later.

Before running this game, I believe I had accidentally installed numerous viruses, I've ran multiple virus scans and think I have cleaned it up but I'm not certain.

I've run a blue screen checker, which points out direct x to be the problem.

At one point, I blue screened on my desktop while carrying out a scan on malware bytes.

I've re-installed my drivers but to no avail.

 

Appreciate any help :3

The first thing to do is make sure the virus/malware crud is gone.
 
Go to the Virus, Spyware, Malware Removal forum, read the first post and follow instructions.

Come back here once you get a clean bill of health if you still have problems.

Sorry for the late response :D

What did you do? I don't see any thread of yours in the malware forum.

 

Glad it's fixed though.
