    REFERENCE_BY_POINTER 0x00000018 whilst playing Trove/watching Netflix


    This just started happening today. I had no issues of this sort yesterday when I updated my graphics card driver (system information is available through my profile, I made sure to fill that out).

    As of about an hour ago, I've had two separate BSODs of the same type while playing a game called Trove (voxel based MMO on Steam) and watching shows on Netflix. I had no BSODs yesterday, or even for the past month, during which I am usually always playing Trove and watching Netflix.

    Attached are the two dump files that were generated by the computer, zipped up by the log collector.

    Let me know if I need to provide any other information and I'll try to provide it. I may not be available very quickly this week though, as I do work during the day.

    looks like your graphics driver, try re-installing you drivers and maybe try a friend's card in case it is hardware and not software.

    I don't exactly have a friend whose card I can borrow.

    I do have a bit of an update. I just finished playing Trove for several hours without a BSOD, but I wasn't watching Netflix at the same time this time. So I think it had something to do with trying to display both Silverlight content and a game. I did play for several hours without a BSOD while watching YouTube videos too.

    But I'm not 100% sure. I'd uninstall and reinstall graphics drivers, but if I uninstall the graphics drivers....I won't be able to see anything on the screen because of the lack of drivers....I think...

    no, you will just switch to onboard graphics when they are uninstalled.
