Sorry for refreshing, but I have a similar problem. I have ATI graphic card and while I was using PhysX for Nvidia, it caused several bluescreens. So is there any way to play without PhysX ?


 




And are there ideas above good to play ?  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink.png" alt="(//wink.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

does the problem fixed?

its a quick way to point the blame to gpu driver, system files, or anything.


 




btw i think since windows vista, after blue screen, the windows will show a popup detailing the info. its usable too.

It's connected with win32k.sys - so that I should blame GPU.

That look like a dumping of memory

Yes, 4th line from the bottom says: "Starting dumping virtual memory"


 




But I don't know exactly what does it mean  :<img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="(//smile.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

It mean that you might need to update your BIOS, it always related to the BIOS

That's rough, the problem still persists  :<img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="(//smile.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">  And I don't feel like upgrading anything - I'd like to try sth else. If this fails, I will try to upgrade.

Now it's lot worse because I encounter BSOD while trying to run Mafia 1  (//wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/ohmy.png)


 




I'll try to run CHKDSK and see what it can find  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/tongue.png" alt="(//tongue.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">
