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.
