BSOD w/ ArmA 3

Zixtyy · 22 Apr 2014

Hi,

I recently had to reinstall Windows due to an unrelated issue. Before then, I had perfect gameplay on ArmA3, tabbing out took less than a second and I got around 40FPS on High/Standard settings.

Now, however, after having to reinstall Windows, I am experiencing bad lag on most aspects of my machine. On bootup, actual multiple monitors used to load instantaneously. Now I'm waiting around 15 seconds for the second taskbar to appear.

Playing ArmA, there's a noticeable choppiness in the game, and tabbing out can take up to 30 seconds. In addition to the lag, I've been experiencing a LOT of BSODs.

I've turned on Verifier, and will

The most recent error was "Special pool detected memory error" along with the following in Event Viewer:

Code:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.  The bugcheck was: 0x000000c1 (0xfffff900cb2e0f30, 0xfffff900cb2e0da8, 0x000000000015a0c8, 0x0000000000000023). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: .

I'm uploading the memory dump now...

I'm pretty certain it is a driver issue, yet Windows cannot detect any driver updates. I've updated my Realtek audio drivers and the Catalyst Control Centre installed whatever it found as the latest I'm certain, so I'm kinda unsure as to what to do next.

Rightio. I've run the program and have attached the zip to this post.

Please run it again....there are several files missing. We need more than just the .dmp files.

Did it not run correctly? Alright.. Give me a few more minutes.

Apologies for double post.. Apparently needed one for an attachment. Something was up with the tool not properly adding all files to the ZIP, it added just three .DMP files again.. I manually zipped everything up from the temp folder.

Counterfeit installations such as yours contains heavily modified code that causes the installation to behave it unexpected ways. Analysing BSOD's and determining their causes on these sorts of installations is very unreliable.

My recommendation is to start with a clean slate, and install a genuine version of Windows. This will minimise the problems you are experiencing, and make subsequent diagnosis of BSOD's far more reliable. Once you are running a genuine Windows installation, and are still experiencing BSOD's, we will be happy to help you solve them :)

Installed off a legit disc borrowed, but resorted to using Windows Loader to install a key because.. well. my original OEM (My PC was originally store-manufactured) key wouldn't work when I had to reinstall. Fair enough.
