    BSOD Playing Space Engineers, no actual blue screen.


    Greetings!

    My PC has BSoD:d twice now, without an actual blue screen. The second time, after starting up again I got the error screen which told me a dump file had been made with info etc.

    During both crashes I was playing Space Engineers, so not sure if the game is broken or I have something wrong.

    I followed the instructions and attached the folder made by the .exe.

    Daemon tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known cause for BSOD's.
    Please remove Daemon Tools and run the SPTD pass through remover.

    1. Uninstall Daemon Tools
    2. Download the SPTD standalone installer and follow these steps:
      • Double click the executable to open it
      • Click on the button shown below


    If the button is grayed out, like in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system, and you can close the window.



    Please follow below instructions carefully and report the results.

    Read carefully before proceeding.



       Warning
    If you're overclocking your system, revert back to stock clocks now.

    ONE

     CPU TEST


    Run Prime95 and/or IntelBurnTest to stress test your CPU. Prime95 - Stress Test Your CPU - Windows 10 Forums & CPU - Stress Test Using IntelBurnTest

       Warning
    Your CPU temperatures will rise quickly while under this stress test. Keep a keen eye on them and abort the test if overheating occurs.

    Make a photo of the result and post it.




    TWO

     RAM TEST


    Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 7 Help Forums

       Note


    MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 complete passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.

    Make a photo of the result and post it please.

    Addition:
    If errors show up you can stop the test, remove all sticks but 1 and test this single stick in each slot for 8 passes or until errors show, switch sticks and repeat.
    If errors show up and you see them a lot later, no problem, the errors don't affect the test.




    THREE

     HDD TEST

    Run following tests

    If the short generic fails, no need for the long generic.
       Note
    Do not run SeaTools on an SSD as the results will be invalid.
