DA Crash and Restart

June 8, 2007 9:13:44 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
After last update DA crashes and restarts computer after only a few minutes of game play. No other applications or games have any problems, even with extended game play (i.e. 1-2 hours with Fear, NWN2, etc.) System is stable and has latest drivers. This was not an issue until 1.60 update. Here is debug.err.

A spontaneous reboot often means your computer is tossing a Blue Screen of Death but is set to not display it. BSODs are generally caused by hardware or driver problems, and the error message it shows can help pin down exactly what the issue is.

To have your computer display BSODs instead of rebooting immediately, go to Control Panel->System Properties->Advanced Tab->Startup and Recovery Settings and uncheck 'automatically restart'.

The next time it crashes, you may get a BSOD similar to the one below (not all highlighted parts may be present):


Write down the information in the highlighted areas before turning your computer off. The information there can then be researched online to see if others have experienced similar problems, and what the cause was. You may also get a 'windows has recovered from a serious error' message when you turn your computer back on--if you do this, you should agree to send the report to microsoft. You'll then be forwarded to information about that error on Microsoft's knowledgebase, if they have any.
