crash during game - tried everything I can think of
First, thanks for reading over this. I'll try to keep it short, but detailed.
Crash (no BSOD) during Guild Wars 2 (again), multiple crashes still occurred after each of the below attempts
First off, I just did a complete re-install of Windows 7 less than 6 weeks ago due to issues with the system not allowing any updates to be applied
Tried:
read logs, found error with AMD audio driver - uninstalled audio driver, rebooted, downloaded most recent AMD software, installed and rebooted
ran SFC /scannow - no errors
clean boot by turning off everything except Microsoft components in msconfig - rebooted
checked Device Manager - no yellow exclamation marks
cleaned logs
ran SFC /scannow again
cleaned DNS cache due to an error which I have cleared and don't remember exact number DCOM 1054, I believe.
Still seeing issues with amdkmafd driver (amd audio)
Found an error related to WUDFRd failing to load - changed setting for Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework from manual to automatic in services.msc
Set windows options under Properties -> Advanced -> Performance -> settings to "Adjust for best performance"
Will be running Memtest 86+ again tonight, but already ran this about 8 weeks ago for 48 hours with zero errors, so doubtful it will find anything.
Anyone have any thoughts besides another clean install?
Due to my cleaning of the logs, and only one crash since then, there may not be enough available information in the logs to help. If not, I'll post a new .zip file in a few days (or at least 5 more crashes).
Lastly, while typing this, I did notice that the High Definition Audio Controller in Device Manager had a yellow exclamation mark next to it. I did right click and allow windows to install the driver. 2 hours ago, there was not a yellow mark there. I'll be keeping my eye on that too.
Running
AMD FX 8150 CPU (applied Windows 7 hotfixes for this CPU, didn't help)
Dual AMD Radeon 6950 cross-fired video cards
16GB RAM
Full system specs are on my profile.
