It's happen two times today, once last night. Very tragic last night, I must say. But here's what's happening:
The Blue Screen of Death. 1 out of 20 Prize Wheels or level loading sequences that happens triggers a BSOD, and my computer crashes. I swear I'm not the only one out there with this issue...
Oh, you thought my specs were the problem? Think again.
it's windows, I got two BSODs while watching youtube videos, I don't think anything is involved in that.
Time to reinstall Windows, mate. Though this might be hardware problem.
Update your drivers.. OOO might have changed some OpenGL usage causing your driver to misbehave.
Wait, how do I update my drivers? I wasn't aware that you could even do that...
The problem is clearly that you don't have enough cores on your processor. Eight just isn't enough.
Putting this thread in the tech support subforum may be a better option (less trollers there).
For updating drivers, it generally applies to graphics drivers - of which we need your graphics card specs to tell you. Most cards are NVidia. If yours is, google nvidia drivers and use their website to detect/download the latest driver (it is sometimes a hit/miss with using beta drivers - I generally avoid them).
Yeah, tech support.
The generic response will most likely be update your drivers or use a different version.
Alright, I used dxdiag to figure out my graphics driver was an AMD Radeon 6450, so now that I've updated it we'll see what happens.
Do you do daily malware checkups?
And why are you posting on a game forum of all places? Why not http://www.sevenforums.com/?
I don't scan daily, but every few days. Nothing ever pops up.
I'm posting on the Spiral Knights forums because the game that appears to be causing the crashing is Spiral Knights. Sevenforums would know nothing about Spiral Knights, whereas these are the official forums. Logic, please?
Getting a BSOD while running Spiral Knights usually indicates a larger software or hardware configuration problem exists on your computer. However, without seeing much computer details or having any logs of what Spiral Knights was doing leading up to the crash it's very difficult to know where the problem actually lies.
If you find the updated graphic drivers don't help (and they frequently do help.... a lot) then please post back with some more information, like the projectx and launcher log files. These files can normally be found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Spiral Knights for most users. They can make it much easier to piece together what was happening in the game right before the crash happens.
Did you turn it off and then turn it on again? ;o
dang boy, u go buy dat powa.
