Crash/blue screen of death
I’ve had BSOD, but it wasnt related to any game itself. Months ago I kept getting memory errors 0×0000000A (or 0xA for short), and 0×124 errors (Uncorrectable Hardware Error). Using that, plus figuring out a bit about Debugging Tools for Windows, along with a lot of Googling, I came to the conclusion that it was a faulty CPU. Replaced it, and havent had an issue with it since. It also, like yours, worked for a bit after a fresh install, and then when it did crash it continuously crashed. That along with getting error codes related to memory, when it turned out to be the L0 Cache for the CPU, was a real pain in the butt to figure out.
That was the first time I diagnosed a hardware, along with a GPU failing over a month ago. So I dont have much experience but I would like to ask if you remember the code you got?
It looks like: Error Code (Parameter1) (Parameter2) (Parameter3) (Parameter4)
If you dont know you could download either: WhoCrashed, BlueScreenView, or Debugging Tools for Windows. The first 2 being much smaller, as debugging tools for Windows is pretty big, I’m assuming it’s like 300mb.
I would start looking at the BSOD code and what it points to. It could very well be the game itself, maybe trying to access memory it shouldnt. Or it could be drivers. Or actually hardware.
Hope that helps. O.o
For the last few says I have been plagued by constant crashes and a couple of blue screen of death. Had done two -repair on the client, and tonight I did a full reinstall from the discs.
Game was working fine after a fresh reinstall – and then after about 2-3 hours of game play, I had the mighty BSOD again.
Get back to official Nvidia driver 301.42 – WHQL, see if it helps. I have a lot of problems with newer betas including BSOD.
