Game crashes with BSOD

I was playing the other day and the game crashed...BSOD. OK, I played two days ago on small galaxy, everything was fine...BSOD crash. When I restarted I was missing hardware, and my soundcard was gone. It was not detected by the system. I believe that this was due to GalCiv. Here is the dump:
I have just upgraded to 1.5, but I think my sound card is toast, and the other hardware item that Vista can find seems to be related to the ACPI, but Vista can't find a driver for it. This was never a problem before the 2nd BSOD.

Your debug says you are still on version 1.4x.

And I doubt that the game had anything to do with a hardware malfunction. That was just bad luck and timing.

I think my sound card is toast, and the other hardware item that Vista can find seems to be related to the ACPI, but Vista can't find a driver for it. This was never a problem before the 2nd BSOD.

If you have failing hardware, then that would certainly be a potential cause of BSODs. FYI, BSODs can generally only be caused by driver or hardware failures, not by normal software such as games (though if you have bad drivers or hardware, and they fail when the game asks them to do something, that could likely cause a BSOD).

In any case, you should definitely record the error code and memory addresses the BSOD provides, and look them up to find potential causes.

I removed the audio card, restarted windows, shut down, insterted the card, and it showed up as if nothing had happened. Go figure.

Successfully updated karma reason!

Go into direct X diagnostics (start -> run -> dxdiag on XP, not sure about Vista but it should be in the Direct X directory if it's not recognised as a program). Click on sound and turn the hardware acceleration slider right down to none. See if that sorts it out.

I had this same problem the other day. Turned out to be the Realtek HD Audio driver just disappeared. Something is definately up with that driver on the Windows side of my setup and is causing the issues. I'm running an iMac in Boot Camp, but I think that inconsequential to the issue with...as I have crystal clear audio on the OS X side, and choppy audio on the Vista side.
