[Hell's Kitchen Napkin]

Hello, all my steam games are crashing. DotA 2 and Borderlands 2. My Starcraft 2 doesnt crash. and it is a gaurenteed crash when i alt+tab. But sometimes it just happens. I have tried completely uninstalling everything steam related and reinstalling to no use. Same with graphic card drivers. Have tried the registry tricks. and doing -autoconfig. But the games are still crashing and im out of ideas. but this is extremely irritating.

What kind of video card do you have? What are your specs?

[Marble]

You can disable the Steam overlay and community in-game features in the settings. If the games still crash after that, then the issue is with those specific games and not with Steam. I've never played DOTA, but Borderlands 2 has crashed for me plenty of times.

[Hell's Kitchen Napkin]

i dont have time atm to get all my specs here but:
evga 560 TI.
phenom black 965 i think? quad core 3.4ghz.
ssd and a hdd.
SSD is my main boot and has my games on it.
Just did a clean install of windows....ill see if it happens again once the games are downloaded.

[Hell's Kitchen Napkin]

i have done that. i havent had any crashes yet since a clean install of Windows... but i probably just jinxed it... And yes i downloaded it directly from the nvidia website.

What's your CPU type

Post a dxdiag

just got a pauge fault blue screen that pointed back to the nvidia driver... seconds after i installed GeForece Experience.... uninstalled that right away... I had a huge arguement with EVGA and this is the 3rd card in 2 months and they said they made sure sure that it was a good card before it was sent out... so i dont think its that.... i think it was the expericnce program.... but anywho.... borderlands crashed, before experience was installed. so i turned off the in-game thing like the person had said above... but im gonna go and see if DotA 2 crashes.

[Hell's Kitchen Napkin]

well... the BIOS didnt help this issue before the clean install. because it was updated before hand

[Hell's Kitchen Napkin]

The BIOS is up-to-date at F7 for my version of windows. they have a program that installs it for you automatically. did that, it didnt change. When i tried doing it manually it said this update isnt for 64-bit versions of windows. so that is done

[Hell's Kitchen Napkin]

well i just got a blue screen and here is what bluescreenview says.

[Epsylon]

i followed the steps, but it crashed DirectX Diagnostics, the time i ran it it said it ran into a problem "accesing direct 3D"... could this be a cause to the problems?

[1337gmr]
