Thank you for you assistance.

This is a complex situation, as I've been dealing with Electronic Arts/Bioware tech service for months now - "change this, download that, install it and uninstall that..."

Essentially, the game SWTOR has never run without crashing - other than the two weeks of beta during which time I experienced NO crashes! Ironic. Game crash is always either MSVCR90.dll or RemoteRenderer.dll.

Now that I've messed with it so much, I'm getting BSODs. To be clear, I was NOT getting BSODs until recently - ONLY the game would crash to desktop.

The computer this is running on was brand new when the beta launched Nov 2011.
Clean install of Win 7 x64 on a brand new WD HDD. Specs below.

I partitioned the HDD, with onlyOS on "C:" drive, everything else on "D:".

In the past three weeks I've formatted "C:" and reinstalled Win7 x64 twice - as per EA/BioWare tech support.

What they had me doing was uninstalling / reinstalling ALL dotNET framework files, and ALL C++ files. This is when I began to have BSOD.

All of my drivers are up to date, ram has passed Memtest86 (actually installed second/alternate set of ram from my second machine which is down atm - waiting for RMA MoBo from Asus - no change in behavior).

As this is a long post, I will include system specs and ATTACHMENTS in just a moment.

We do need the DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.

If you are overclocking STOP

You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting into safe mode (F8) with networking.

To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.

The procedure:
* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
* Zip up the copy.
* Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.
*If the files are too large please upload them to a file sharing service like "Rapidshare" and put a link to them in your reply.


To ensure minidumps are enabled:
* Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
* Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
* Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
* Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
* Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
* OK your way out.
* Reboot if changes have been made.

Driver verified and Related to AmdPPM.sys Processor Device Driver from Microsoft.

Despite having SP-1 installed yours is still from 2009.

I would run a system file check to verify and repair the OS files

Thanks Zigzag!

I just ran the System File Checker tool as per the link above (sfc /scannow from elevated cmd) , and it returned "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations". :p

Are you by chance overclocking?

If you are overclocking the RAM to meet XMP settings then it is still overclocking. Have you checked that?
