preference by pointer BSOD when Closing Deus Ex: Human Revolution DC
I was wrapping up a stream on my Twitch Channel and closed the game with the plan to chat to viewers before closing down however when pressing exit game the bluescreen came up saying Windows ecountered a problem and needs to restart with the Error of "preference by pointer".
The pc then restarted but failed to move past the windows logo and rotating dots I then restarted it a further two times. The first time the pc loaded up to my desktop but didn't load up any icons or programes that would normally load up on startup. After the third attempt the pc loaded up fine but of course now im panicing that something is very wrong with my pc or it will happen again.
Any help or support would be very gratful both to fix this issue and to stop my worry.
Edit: I launched the game and played around abit at the save that i made before the exit then exited the game to try to replicate the bluescreen but it didn't happen this time, Ive also restarted the pc to double check it still loads up and it does.
