Freeze/Crash & BSOD issues

[KisaiTenshi]

You guys really need to stop assuming it's SE's problem when crash problems are almost always a hardware-driver problem.

Run Prime95 (for CPU/RAM), run GPU Tool (to test the GPU), etc.



I fell asleep at a menu while standing in Ul'dah and it didn't log me out or crash.

As stated in much earlier threads, all the crashing I was getting disappeared after I stopped using the Beta Catalyst drivers, and now only crashes if MSI Afterburner's video capture is invoked. I'm not using a MSI video card (It's a ASUS DirectCU II Radeon 7770)

If you want people to help, you're going to need to post the Video card manufacturer, model and driver version being used. You can get this info from DXDIAG

BTW there's a new AMD Beta driver out, came out yesterday. Try it if you're experiencing problems with an AMD card. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...w_win8-64.aspx
