Solved BSOD playing Path of Exile

[cintecian]

Hi, I'm getting a BSOD when playing Path of Exile. I've gotten two so far. I am not experiencing BSOD's at random, only in PoE. The BSOD flashes by quicly and I'm unable to give much info about it. I've attached the file generated by the SF Diagnostic Tool.

Sorry for the forum clutter. Figured this one out on own, and saw all the similar posts after I made this one.. sorry.

I had to add -softwareaudio to the target field in the games shortcut. Creative soundcards can cause the BSOD.

Delete this post if needed.

Creative soundcards can cause the BSOD.

Yes, it is Creative.

And it is old enough.

So, the best action should be update the drivers to Creative Audigy.

Thanks for the reply, but the drivers are no longer being updated for my really old card. Audigy 2 ZS. Need to update the card itself
