BSOD Playing Empire & Napoleon: Total War - Locale ID: 2057
Hello all,
I have been experiencing blue screens of death while playing both 'Empire: Total War' and 'Napoleon: Total War'.
This often happens when I leave the game inactive for a few minutes. Strangely, the game tends to work fine as long as I do not stop playing it. This includes just leaving the game on the main menu screen.
First the screen goes black for a few seconds (Monitor shows no input), and then there is a long strained beep noise similar to a rapid-fire stop sound, and then the machine restarts.
Drivers are supposedly up to date. I have experienced this problem for several weeks since installing both games and so I cannot pinpoint a time when this began. Other games are fine. I therefore think it is something to do with the Graphics or Sound cards/drivers.
I have followed the instructions. Please also find below attached below the most recent crash log (A few minutes ago - Sitting idle at the games main menu).
Edit: My profile on this website is a little out of date. THe machine in question runs Windows 7 64bit Ultimate.
