That's right, I got a BSOD today while playing mount and blade. I wasn't able to read it, as I don't the remember where the option to make a pause on the BSOD screen is... ( Did not have a BSOD since 2-3 years though )
So:
I was in a village ( a Nord village near ambean, don't remember the name. )
I start a conversation with a peasant.
Just when I press the key, some artifacts and the sound looping ... But as it stopped in less than a second I don't think it's a video card malfunction ( When my 7600 GT died some years ago, it was kinda different ) But I'm not sure.
I made an Overclock two months ago, but it went well, the temps are cool and the VCORE too. OCCT did not find any problems during an 1 hour test. Also, I think that if the problem was from the processor, the crash would have been different ( when the processors reaches a high temperature, windows aero stop the game and launch low power mode, if I remember well. Also, it would shut down my computer differently.
So the problem is probably the RAM.... But I have 4 Go of OCZ @ 1066 mhz ( well a little bit more since the OC ) to 2V ( DDR2 ), my processor and my motherboard are able to handle it, I think. So, a dll failure?
Can't help more, I'm gonna giving my specs:
HD 5870 2Go VRAM on a 24" screen
Processor: E8500 core 2 duo, OC @ 4227 mhz ( The original frequency is around 3.16 ghz I think )
Ram: DDR2, OCZ 4go @ a bit more than 1066 mhz to 2V in the bios. Dual channel.
Motherboard: ASUS P5Q pro
Power case: ANTEC earthwatts something ... 650 W , 99%
Environment:
Warband: maximum graphic specs, battlesizer to something around 480.
Kaspersky, though he wasn't running while MnB was.
Steam. I play Warband on steam.
Latest ATI driver and catalyst... So yea I have the graphical bug but I don't think it's related
My Razer drivers were running, I think.
I'm on 7 x64.
Cooling:
I have a zalman 9900 LED on my processor and my computer case is not bad. I'm not giving you the name, as you would have false infos: I customized it a lot.
Processor: One day, the processor reached 76 Celsius degrees ( 168.8°F I think? ) but it's unusual. It was one second in OCCT ( + summer and dust ) and the maximum was usually 74°c. OCCT is the only software that makes the processor reaching that temp, and I think a processor is only too hot above 80°c. In idle, the processor is under 40°c because of the intel technology which underclock the processor when not used.
My GFX card reaches 53°c when in IDLE, but the fan speed is to 21%. I did not tested the temps while in game, because I know that my old 4870 used to be hotter and if I remember the temps were not as good ( But acceptable )
So... what do you think?
EDIT: by the way, I played MnB for years without having this problem on every OS I had. I'm actually using CCleaner to clean the register and all, I will reboot, search some errors... I will say you if something is wrong again.
