Default Blue Screen of Death error message !

Hi,

I was playing BF2 online multi game when the PC just shut and I had the BSOD error message, stop error

Computer symptoms


A message appears on a blue screen with error code information (for example: 0x0000001E, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED)

Q322205
the MS web site reffers to a driver for a new item of hard ware that may have been installed.
I have not installed any new hard ware ?

I can see your problem, you're playing BF2, coded by the mokey men at EA. They couldn't make a stable game to save their life, or release it after its finished...

Is it the first time you have played the game ?

If no to the above can you think of anything you have done since you last played ...little tweaks can affect games very easly

If no to all the above look for new drivers for everything than needs them and try again

Tyson, Have you updated your Video drivers and patched the game like i've told you 1,001 times.

You'll never stop getting BSODs.. sometimes they just occur for no particular reason. Worry when they are persistant.

If a system BSOD's then there's a problem that needs fixing, not that needs living with.

I've played over 1800 hours of online BF2 with 3 different rigs. The game cost 30 quid and i have played it daily since the day of release. I personally think that is Superb value for money.

To help i would need your full system specs including drivers.

Although you are right, sometimes a BSOD can be hard to replicate, then you can end up worrying your pants off that it's a hardware error problem.

I had a BSOD a few weeks back... it's not re-occurred since so I'm assuming it was a bug in the program. I've checked the memory and ran some diagnostics etc.. showed nothing.. If it had re-occured then I would regard it as something seriously wrong.

It shouldn't be possible for a program to halt a system - it takes something at kernel level, (ie, device drivers) or hardware instability to do it. If I ever see a blue screen I analyse the crash dump and find out why. It's not something I'm personally prepared to write off.

Though maybe I'm not exposed to them as often as games player might be. Graphics drivers are ****s sometimes (unless they're Intel).

I think drivers have a large part in this.. In this case, it was an error with the nv_disp. Surely, it depends on how the program intectacts with the API elements of the driver that could cause an error.

I must admit I can't recall the last time I saw a BSOD on either of my two home systems, and like Daz, if I got one I try to figure out why. They should never happen for no reason.
