BSOD / Freezes When Loading Maps

I've been playing this game with my current setup for years and haven't had many issues with bluescreening until now.

Occasionally (every 4 or 5 games) my computer will either freeze with stuttering sound or blue screen when loading maps.

I saw the thread on XFI sound cards but I don't have a sound card.

Does anyone have any other tips for me to look into?

I tried using bluescreen view but I only have one dump file for some reason.

Here's what it gave me:

Code: Select all

011120-12734-01.dmp	1/11/2020 12:07:09 AM	IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL	0x0000000a	0000008f`3f5fd5d8	00000000`0000000f	00000000`00000001	fffff806`106cf747							x64						C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\011120-12734-01.dmp	12	15	18362	618,180	1/11/2020 12:08:38 AM	
The most important thing I saw was the bug check string of IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

However, I do not have confirmation that this dump file was from a bluescreen caused by PR.

Thanks

PR cannot cause blue screens. It does not run any kernel code. IRQL errors are usually bad drivers.

Thanks for the response AlonTavor.

Is there anything else you can tell me? It seems to only happen when changing levels in PR. It has done this at least 10 times.

I have not had this problem with any other games.

Is there something specific that PR may try to access while loading levels?

It's odd that it doesn't do it every time.

Thanks again.

Launcher writing-process-memory might be making an anti virus fail. BSOD with IRQL is usually a good time to either reinstall windows or drivers.
