    BSOD/Lockups playing Hearthstone - ntoskrnl.exe


    Hey guys, been getting BSODs, hardlocks with stuttering sound and other really bizarre crashes while playing Hearthstone. My system is normally rock solid, but with HS it crashes in about 30% of my matches, and even when just sitting in the menus sometimes. I've been trying to work out whats going on and nothing really seems to help. I've attached my logs using dm log collecter.

    Hello, and welcome to SevenForums!

    Your BSOD seems to be caused by your NetIO Legacy TDI Support driver:

*******************************************************************************

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000018000000408, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL

	bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
	bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)
Arg4: fffff80003697ee8, address which referenced memory

    Since this is a Windows driver, you cannot update it. However, you can try to reinstall it:

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Hold CTRL+R on the keyboard,

    Type in "devmgmt.msc" (without quotes),

    On the taskbar on top, click on "VIEW -- SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES",

    Expand "Non Plug And Play Drivers",

    Right click on NetIO Legacy TDI Support Driver-Uninstall,

    Restart the PC.

    Please inform us of the results.

    Best of luck,

    Hi Peregrine,

    I followed your steps to remove the NetIO Legacy TDI Support Driver, restarted and had another go at hearthstone. I manage to get through a got 6-7 games before it crashed this time.

    The error on the BSOD was DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL 0x000000c5, the same as the majority of the dump files I've collected.

    Well, this is embarrassing...

    Apparently while I was helping multiple people at once, I posted somebody else's error in this post.

    Please excuse me, I will have a look at YOURS now.

    Sorry for the confusion, this is YOUR error:

    Your NVidia Graphics Driver is corrupting the system memory pool:

*******************************************************************************

DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL (c5)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is
caused by drivers that have corrupted the system pool.  Run the driver
verifier against any new (or suspect) drivers, and if that doesn't turn up
the culprit, then use gflags to enable special pool.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000008, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
Arg3: 0000000000000000, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation

    Did you update your drivers recently? If so, they may have been corrupted whilst downloading.

    I'd recommend following this to ensure the cleanest driver reinstallation possible.

    Hey Peregine,

    I have a -really- slow download rate, so I couldn't use the latest version but:
    Yesterday I cleaned off the drivers I had installed (GeForce 33-something) and went to reinstall, found I didn't have the same version of drivers so I installed the latest ones I had - GeForce 320.18. I played a fairly lengthy session of Hearthstone and experienced only two.. soft lockups.. they're really bizarre. My network connectivity dies off, and I can still operate most programs normally, but when I try to open Task Manager it freezes entirely.
    I set the latest Nvidia drivers downloading overnight and did the same uninstall/install procedure for the new ones. I've had 3 of the c5 BSODs this morning, which I imagine is due to the same thing.

    I'll get a friend with a more reliable connection to download the drivers for me, but living in a remote area that could take a while to sort out.

    Edit:

    I think for now I may go back to the 320.18 drivers as it was a bit more stable. Although I'm seeing in other threads that Networx was crashing peoples games, so I may try uninstalling that before I swap drivers again.

    Edit 2:

    Ok, After a couple hours of play with no crashes I'm thinking the clean driver install and uninstalling networx has done the trick!

    I'll tentatively keep this thread active while I keep playing today, but it's looking good!

    So, after 23 games and no crashes I think we can call this one solved!
    Thanks for the help Peregrine!
