since the new update i keep having a blue screen of death stating: Reference by Pointer. this happens after about 15min of youtube playing. my screen gives an graphical glitch and then the screen appears. otherwise firefox and my pc run stable. (just browsing with my browser, using flash, GPU tested by playing high end games( for my GPU)). temperatures and other variables checked with MSI seem to be stable up until the crash (cant see them any more when it happens because well my pc crashes as well).

is there a fix? and what even is the problem?

p.s. if people want additional info just ask!
