Blue Screen of Death

03-10-10, 07:44 AM

Just experienced a nasty system crash while playing SH5. I was in the campaign first mission messing with the merchants a bit. My crew were fireing a deck gun at one of them, the poor bastard was already in flames and smokes so I switched to external cam and wanted to fly closer to see the damages. So I'm switching to external cam and hit Shift+ up arrow (using Church's Keyboard commands 1.1) to fly faster, then suddenly BSOD appeared in an eyeblink then reboot. After system rebooted to check what the hell just happened. So I opened the Event viewer but there is little info I could chew. Here it is: Error code 1000007f, parameter1 0000000d, parameter2 00000000, parameter3 00000000, parameter4 00000000.Source: System Error; Category: (102); Event ID:1003

With respect ( and I am ready to stand corrected by more knowledgeable folk), this BSOD does not seem to be games related. It is a system error, and so to do with your computer rather than a faulting application. You have an Intel processor - yes? The parameters indicate this and that it is is to do with the kernel - the heart of system management.

Kernel code stays in a protected part of the memory throughout every session, and will crash the machine, resulting in a BSOD, if something happens which didn't oughta in loaded software applications or in its protected area and management.

There are certain to be folk here who could tell you much more, but what it probably comes down to for us simple folk, is a memory or page-file issue, not so likely a driver in this instance, though they often are the culprits.

If you open your computer to change memory or check the board and hardware, check also to see that no capacitors are bulging or leaking.

People who run debuggers and can analyse minidumps could maybe help you here, so perhaps a visit to a techy website such as Tektips XP Pro forum would be useful.

Could be faulty memory or a faulty processor.

In some cases it could be your power supply is not powerful enough to cope with your video card and processor. SH5 is very demanding with its sea rendering. The fact it went as you went to external cam would highlight a peak in demand for power.

There are ways to learn the reason of the BSOD. It could be a DLL crashing the system. Look up memory dump & interpreting it w/ a debugger (as She-Wolf pointed out), here's a start:
http://support.theplanet.com/kb/oper...ates-debugging

In my case, it turned out to be the dll for my sound drivers; When playing many sound effects during engagements, SH5 somehow made the drivers crash and BSOD Windows. That made me upgrade from XP to Win7. With now Microsoft drivers instead of the original vendor drivers, everything is working great no more crashes from SH5.

You might be able to pin down the problematic dll/driver/software and either get rid of it or upgrade/downgrade to a more healthy version.
I had no choices with my sound drivers so had to try upgrading the OS.

STOP 0x0000007F: UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP

Usual causes: Memory corruption, Hardware (memory in particular), Installing a faulty or mismatched hardware (especially memory) or a failure after installing it, Device drivers, SCSI/network/BIOS updates needed, Improperly seated cards, Incompatible storage devices, Overclocking, Virus scanner, Backup tool, Bad motherboard, Missing Service Pack

This is not game related, just coincidence that it started when you ran SH 5.
Try updating your video driver, sound driver, and chipset drivers to start with.
Also, take a look in Event Viewer and look for errors there that may help point you in the right direction.
