Destiny 2, and only Destiny 2, constantly freezing my whole pc and won't unfreeze unless i hard reset my computer

[Baxter]

I've had this issue for months maybe even a year at this point and I've tried everything I can find online but it never goes away. I gave up on destiny for a while but I came back a couple months ago and its been happening the whole time but today it is constant. I cant play anything (in d2) without it freezing. In total I've had to hard reset my computer 83 times since it started due to this and it honestly makes the game unplayable. I don't understand how it could be anything but destiny 2 itself as I dont have this problem with any other games and my computer runs multiple other games just fine at the same time but with destiny I close everything but steam and discord just for it to crash in 10-15 minutes. Looking for some help that I haven't already tried as I've done everything from reinstalling d2 to reinstalling windows.

Me i5-9600k, RTX2060, OS(W10) and D2 sits on M.2 on max graphics no lag ez.... avg frames 80 to 90...

man that sounds pretty devestating to me. im kinda lucky i guess with my game "ONLY" freezing once a day or two and i need to close it via task manager.
hope you can fix it soon!

I recently had an issue where the game would either freeze or ctd. After many hours of troubleshooting, disassembling both my CPU fan (even though there were no cooling problems) and my PSU and giving them a good clean solved all issues. Reapplied thermal paste too. Went from BSOD's and CTD's most times I launched to being online nonstop for almost 9 hrs yesterday.

I would check if dust is a factor.

Ive only ever freezed using 1050 (Not TI) Nivida card when walkers drop so much for those small ball items on the moon.

This has been plaguing me for the last 2 weeks. It used to only just be an occasional game crash here or there prior, but now it's a consistent BSOD. Some forum threads going around seem to think it's battleye, but no amount of messing with it seems to allow it to function. Sometimes it lets me get an hour or two otherwise it mostly crashes within 10 minutes.

It's been incredibly frustrating to say the least because I've had no other games have an issue It's only destiny 2.

What does the BSOD say?

Mine said this hence the many searches, downloading diagnostics tool, mini.dmp readers, poring over event viewer, my result was to take apart my PSU and CPU's fan heatsink and clean them even though from the outside they seemed fine. I haven't had any errors or BSOD's since.

This only ever happened in Destiny 2 so it was so strange. This game will find any problems and bring them to the forefront lol

[Forlorn Wanderer]

The BSOD that I observed were BEDaisy.sys, KMODE exception not handled, and stopcode memory_management.
Prior to attempting to fix things it was just BEDaisy.sys errors and is still the primary error message

Just tried updating bios, did not fix it.

isn't the point of using MSI afterburner is when gaming to see statistics? i give massive props to AMD giving access to an extensive customized overlay where as nvidia mainly just gives basic GPU info. personally i need to know how my components are functioning, its helped when in the past for me when temperatures were abnormally high. So if not MSI afterburner what would be a better overlay option while gaming?

Only hwinfo, of such common tools, doesn't install a kernel driver thats not left after you exit it, more or less, in general gpu overlays installs a hidden system service that doesnt show up among regular windows services. Either that, or driver, or both.
Other examples are stuff like logitech mouse drivers, certainly back in the day, even if you installed just the mouse driver, it still installed a cpu temperature control driver - just in case you also had a logitech keyboard with that hardware feature. Iow bloatware.
In general , really know wtf you'r doing. If you don't, expect things to break.

WHEA errors can be caused by too much or too little voltage, too fast ram speed fo the silicon imc in cpu (all ryzen chips can actually do 4000+ on ddr4, or 8000+ on ddr5, its just a matter of knowing, again, wtf your doing), too high EDC is a typical one, because it's commonly set too high by board manufacturer. But it doesn't always need to be any setting.
You could just have bought something that can't handle certain workloads.
The problem with D2 is that it typically doesn't respect multi cpu-cores, and newer cpus tend to favor switching around.

There's zero reasons to run gpu overclocking in d2, the game engine is outdated by +10 years.

I think this might help if you are running a 4000 or 3000 GTX series graphics card.

"RESOLVED:
I had ECC enabled in the Nvidia Control Panel. Turning this off stopped the crashes. This was the only issue, I was able to reenable every other option I disabled without any instability. Notably I double checked this by enabling ECC, wherein I crashed after ~20 minutes of gameplay. "

Kindly note, the ECC was disabled / turned off to fix this persons issue.



How to change the option below.

https://www.nvidia.com/content/control-panel-help/vlatest/en-us/mergedprojects/nv3d/To_turn_your_GPU_ECC_on_or_off.htm

"1: From the NVIDIA Control Panel Select a Task pane, under Workstation, click Change ECC state.

2: In the ECC column, check the check box of any GPU for which you want to turn On ECC, and clear the check box of any GPU for which you want to turn Off ECC.

3: Click Apply.

Typically, depending on the GPU, you will need to restart your computer in order for the changes to go into effect. In this case a dialog appears to prompt you to restart your computer.

If you click Restart Later at the dialog prompt, then the relevant ECC check box will indicate that a restart is pending and the change is not yet in effect."

I'm not seeing a workstation option in the task panel section to attempt the change

[LadyRoot]

That happens to me all the time as well (rtx 4090), but I always have the ECC unchecked. With or without afterburner, not OC'ed.
Was hoping to have some fun but it literally allows me to play up to 2 mins before freezing.

[Sjors]

I had something similar only when loading into raids years ago, turned out to be a busted RAM that only triggered while playing Destiny 2. Could be that.

[Ionite The Dog]

Sorry is was not available for your card Wanderer. Thank you for the feedback LadyRoot. It has worked in the past on another card, must be a new or different issue. If it was me I would consider re-installing the game, if it was still freezing I would then disable every graphics setting I could find and see what happens next.

As an update to my case, my PC is parked rn as BSOD's kept popping up. Final diagnosis is that my MSI B450 gaming pro max wifi decided to go into retirement.
