BSOD when playing Shogun 2 Total War

[Uncle Seamus]

Hi everyone,

the title pretty much covers it all: the computer randomly crashes when playing Shogun 2. I've added a minidump file in the hopes that someone can tell me what exactly goes wrong.

Thanks in advance!

 

[FredeGail]

I will analyze your .dmp when I'm home infront of my machine.
Hold on !

Best Regards,
FredeGail

Hello again, it's quite hard to analyse this one, as it's could be anything.

And very recommend: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/101379-driver-verifier-enable-disable.html, if any BSOD, upload the .dmp file and it will hopefully tell us which one were the faulty one.

thanks for helping out, gonna check my drivers right now

 

[Uncle Seamus]

the drivers are certainly to blame:
when I started up driver verifier, my computer was unable to perform the necessary
reboot, so I had to boot in safe mode and disable the program.
After I had done that and started the pc in normal mode, my avast antivirus was
disabled and I had no internet access.

Both issues are fixed now but as I said, there's something seriously wrong with those
drivers of mine

Strange.
Are there any new .dmp to be uploaded?

[Uncle Seamus]

strange indeed, no new dump files for the moment
I'll run shogun 2 tomorrow again and post a new minidump then

 

[FredeGail]

Hopefully we'll get a better .dmp file this time.

FredeGail

 

[Uncle Seamus]

well, no recent BSOD's:

like before, Shogun 2 shuts down after a couple of minutes and I get an error screen saying "Shogun 2 TW has stopped working", but unlike a couple of days ago, the computer doesn't show a BSOD afterwards.

Guess this thread doesn't belong in the "crashes and debugging" department anymore...

Thanks for your time!
