Guild Wars 2

Hello!

When i play GW2, i often get bluescreens, code 0×124. I have already checkt ram, graphiccard, harddisc, cpu with several freeware programs and also updated drivers.

The weird thing is, i also get a bluescreen if i dont start the game but just stay in the login-screen and wait some minutes.

Anyone has a solution? This would help me a lot

Try searching online for a solution, and try re-installing GW2. Also, have you tried running Prime95 for stability on small fft/blend to detect any errors with your CPU?

Also, is your CPU OC’d? In this online OC guide, 0×124 means:
“BSOD Codes for LGA 1155 Ivy Bridge
0×124 = increase/decrease vcore or QPI/VTT… have to test to see which one it is”
Reference: http://www.overclock.net/t/1198504/complete-overclocking-guide-sandy-bridge-ivy-bridge-asrock-edition

What CPU do you have and do you overclock it? Error 124 when overclocking my i7 930 means that my CPU wants more voltage running at whatever I had it set to. If you’re overclocking, up your voltage or decrease clock speed. If you are not overclocking, then I would head into your bios and turn off any power saving options.

Thank you for your replies!

i ran prime95, but not on small fft, i will try this. And i have a question to prime 95: How do i get results of the tests and how do i evaluate them?

I will reinstall GW2 this weekend, would be nice if the problems will be solved that easy

And concerning overclocking: I haven´t changed anything in hardware or bios since i bouht my laptop, and it was a new one.
How do i see if all voltage values are correct?

Also, could there be sth wrong with my internet because i once had also a bluescreen when i just was at the login screen, so i was connected to the server but the game was not started yet?

Resinstalling GW2 will very unlikely (almost 0 percent) solve a blue screen problem. Try running your fans on manual at100% both GPU and CPU and see what happens.

Note.. see you are running a laptop, make sure it’s on a hard surface and has plenty of airflow. This game is super taxing and will gobble up your GPU at 100% even at login especially on a laptop.

I checked CPU temperature with HWiNFO32 and it says temperature is always between 40 and 60 degree. GPU-temperature i didnt check, but i have an intel onboard graphic chip and also an Nvidia GeForce GT 325M. I ran the game with both graphiccards, and both times i had a bluescreen. So i guess the graphiccard isn´t the problem, is it?

prime95 runs since an hour now without errormessages, so i guess CPU will be fine.

I really despair, cause nothing i have tried has solved my problem^^

Edit: I just see i got a message of prime95:

worker3:

What do this messages tell me?

It means ur CPu isnt stable. Prime95 needs ot run for atleast 6 hours to be fairly sure of 100% stability . 12hours for deffinative answere.

Your CPU’s volltages are likely a tad on the low side. But since its a 124 BSOD it could also mean they r to high or that the VTT settings r off like the above posters said.

Get into the bios and start tweeking. be sure not to go mad with the voltage tweeks ..do them in small increments like 0.010v.

if the laptop is still new then i sugest going back to the manufacturer or retailer and get them to sort it out.

Hey guys, thanks everyone who helped me, now i got the solution of my problem. I’ve updated BIOS and now everything works fine. Perhaps this will help someone at later time who has the same problem like me.

The updated BIOS likely had tweeked settings thus making the CPU stable. Glad to hear it worked.

i’m constantly suffering from BSOD when i start the game, error code 116, i’ve tried updating the drivers for everything and it doesn’t work.
