Blue screen

Post by YHCIR »

Ever since the latest release, i have been getting a blue screen (not BSOD).

The game will lock, give a blue screen (no writing), and lock me PC up. I have to manually restart. It has done it about 2 or 3 times since the update.
Has anyone else had it? or is it just me?

When you get a BSOD, write down the stop code and google for ti to fidn out th cause.

BSOD's are usually related to unstablehardware/bad drivers/overclocked components/trojans worms virii and spyware etc

They're a big sign youve installed something bad that affects the core of windows such asa faulty driver, or that your system si destabilizing at the hardware level such as memory damage of components nearing the end of their life expectancy, or even changes you amde to the OS, or spyware.

Viruses and trojans that hook intot he kernel to hide themselves can also generate blue screens if there are errors in their code as is commonly the case.

Did you by any chance even read his post before writing that?

He should Google the stop code which he never got?

It was a generalized post, not specifically aimed at him.......

If a BSOD doesnt give writting for whatever reason check your system log via control panel->administrativetools otherwise tis a graphics card driver issue.

I had that blue screen too.

I think i fixed it with other video drivers and reducing CPU voltage as low as you can...

Check if playing in a window helps. If yes, it's the drivers (I had an orange screen.)
