Thank you Funkor, that seems to have fixed it for me.

matsb84: same thing for me. Usually the green screen would occur while watching youtube on a different monitor while surfing. Give Funkor's solution a try.

So my computer is bluescreening but only in Outlook 2016: 365 Degrees of Cloudy Edition.

Should I:

a) Delete my gigantic .ost file and try again.
b) Reinstall office.
c) Reformat my computer.
d) Buy a new computer.
e) Burn my house down.

Blue screening when you open it or randomly ?

Randomly.

My computer has bluescreened 3 times in 3.5 years, and twice were in Outlook 2016 in the past 2 months.

I can't figure out how a machine that can run P95 for 2 days straight, run most games at 1440p@120hz, can crash in fucking Outlook.

I turned automatic restarts off so I cam at least catch the error. It wasn't writing crashdumps because my pagefile was on my secondary SSD instead of the system drive.

I can always use the O365 web client, and probably should considering how big my fucking inbox gets.

Why are you using Outlook on your home machine anyway? Do you operate a private email server out of fear that Google is spying on you?

I have multiple Exchange-based mailboxes I need to check, and one of them has a LOT of rules.

I had two page files and my computer would crash after I updated to windows 10. So I deleted the page file on my non boot drive and it stopped.

Any way to figure out a replacement card for now?

I don't really need an upgrade at this time, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money.

Here's what I was able to determine before it crashed for good:

I tried looking up GeForce Gtx 560 but I can't get a concrete result, probably because it's an older card.

Any decent replacement, doesn't have to be an upgrade, I can get for around $50?

Probably a 750 ? Might be a few bucks mroe than 50.

Do you need a card? If not you can pull the card and plug into the Mobo video output

cpu?
I spent reading online and troubleshooting this problem, it is apparent that there is a design flaw that affects at least the i5-5675c, the i7-5775c, and the i7 5700HQ
BSOD from Office 2016 apps

I looked at that. I'm having a very similar issue but I don't have a Broadwell CPU.

I don't care anymore, the web client is better for me for work anyway. It was just bugging me because I built this machine for stability.
