For starters, try increasing your virtual memory (page file). Also you can go to the advanced tab in your system properties and turn off the auto-reboot so you can read the error message.

EDIT: Just noticed your resolutions, try running the game in the same resolution as your desktop as well.

I had the very same problem. After the reboot windows said it recovered from a very serious error, and when i reported the error message, the info on it said to try decreasing hardware acceleration. Have been doing that for about a week now, and i don't get nearly as many reboots. It still happens every once and a while tho. It makes the pointer look weird too.

If disabling (or lowering) hardware acceleration fixes things, in my experience it's one of two things --

1. Video card running to hot (check your air flow)
2. Out of date/corrupt video drivers

It's easy to fix the second, just update to the latest versions

could be your audio driver. thats what it appears to have been for me. Disable auto reboot so u can read the BSoD and see if it lists an audio driver as the culprit.

I get the BSOD all the time too. I've got the latest drivers for everything and set the range of my page file to between 2GB and 4GB. I keep getting this "IRQL_not_less_or_equal" message, now that I turned off the auto-reboot. I've posted my debug.err file in the STICKY for Known Issues, but here it is again:

hmm if you look at mine and yours it seems that auto save might be the problem because the turn after it saved i had the blue screen and looking at your debug it seems the same i turned off auto save and i was able to finish a match without it happening

An excellent thought there, Yordians. I gave it a shot, though, but GalCiv2 still went BSOD on me. I can't find a pattern for when the failure occurs. The last time I was just entering the ship-design interface, but it's done it to me a couple times while speaking with the Yor, a couple times while speaking with other races & minor races, but most of the time it's just, pardon the pun, out of the blue. If you or anyone else comes up with a thought on options tweaking that might reduce or remove this glitch, PLEASE post it here.

Okay, couple suggestions here:

1. You have two sound devices listed, one with 11 mo. old drivers, and other is from 2001. Update the drivers and only run one of them, as they might be conflicting.

2. What is the FULL message on your BSOD ? You can find more info on it here.

3. Try running with your anti-aliasing turned off, and auto-save feature turned off.

Thanks, HEEGZ. Here's what I can tell ya:

1. My primary device has the newest nForce drivers available from NVidia. The other device is inactive, but just to be certain, I disabled it in device manager.

2. My full BSOD message was "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
STOP: 0x0000000A (0xFFFE8080, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x806EE2DC)"

3. I also turned off AA, leaving auto-save off as before.

I still got the BSOD. I appreciate the help, though.

You're welcome. You need to update your nvidia sound driver, then run the game and post the debug.err file if it still crashes. Stardock recommends running their Smart exception program and sending the .zip it creates to their tech support if you choose to go that route. I would wait on contacting tech support until you at least have all of your drivers up to date though. Also, did the Microsoft link give you any help on your BSOD message? Also when did the BSOD occur, at launch or mid-game?

EDIT: this Link has info directly related to your BSOD message. You might look into it a little further as I don't know your system history, etc.
