BSOD playing Shadow of Mordor

If there is a read me file in the folder you downloaded, it may tell you where or the log may be in the folder too.

Well, I couldn't find the log but I reran the test and took a screenshot.

Looks good to me.

Alright, memtest passed. It took a lot longer than I thought it would. So I guess I'll see if I get any more BSODs and I will post when I do. Thank you for the help!

If you've had BSODs since you lad ran the file, upload the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions with your next post.

If you haven't already run SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use

Sweet! I'm not sure what the problem was, but now the game is just crashing and I'm not getting BSODS anymore! It might be because I reinstalled the drivers but I don't know which step fixed it. Thank you!

I sure hope everything stays fixed. If not, post back. We'll be glad to help.

Alright, so things didn't stay fixed, but it happened differently this time.

After Shadow of Mordor CTD about 2 or so hours in, I re-ran it and it CTD before it got to the main menu. Then I was verifying the game cache in Steam and tried to watch a movie on Netflix. The Netflix movie didn't start and everything but my mouse froze. After hitting ctrl+alt+del nothing happened so I decided to just wait and see if my computer would BSOD. Nothing happened and then my mouse cursor no longer moved. I waited about 30 minutes to see if it would crash and nothing.

So, I rebooted the computer and checked to see what caused it in the event viewer. The only thing I could find was "The Superfetch service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service."

I'm not too sure why this happened and there is no dump file. Should I upload what dm log collector can gather?

Oh, another thing I noticed is that programs tend to go haywire after this game crashes. When I got BSODs earlier with this game it caused a lot of things to become unstable and would slowly crash everything until I got a BSOD. It would take a few minutes after crashing just like this time except I didn't get a BSOD this time.

Edit: Will be running this game later tonight to see if I can get a BSOD.

Try not playing the game and see if you get BSODs. It could be the game. When the game crashes, the GPU drivers will usually crash because of the game crashing, so if you have no GPU drivers and try to do something else that uses the GPU, they will crash too, because of the crashed drivers in the game. There are a lot of people having trouble with that game, which tends to make it a poorly coded game. I've tried several games that were poorly coded and always had issues. I just quit playing that game and got along pretty well. Which shows the game is the problem, not the computer.
