ELDEN RING Bluescreened my pc(UPDATE, PROBLEM SOLVED)

[Slowboi]

has anybody had this happen to them? During a normal multiplayer session the game froze for like a minute and then my pc BSOD, doesn't look like it had any long term effects but i probably won't be playing the game for some time

(UPDATE):
Computer wizards of steam i am once again asking for your help, the game gave me a BSOD again, i was invading in Liurnia, the game froze and then a BSOD appeared, no files were corrupted, seems it was not related to the crash, but i managed to look at the error code, it was DPC_Watchdog_Violation on the BSOD, whocrashed still didn't find anything

(UPDATE-2):
I may have found the cause of my problems, after running a less demanding game(Titanfall 2), i noticed that my CPU/GPU temps were suspiciously high, so much that my computer was starting to slow down, seems this might have caused the crashes, will update again once i clean out my laptop.

(UPDATE-3):
for anybody having the same problem as me, it was some part of my laptop overheating, probably the ram or something idk.

I doubt the game is responsible, you probably had some other problems with your PC and running this game only exasperated it.

Did you check your event viewer?

[Ulmace]

freeze or crash because of multiplayer is pretty common, but if whole pc crashes there is something going on with ur pc.

[Sabaithal]

Game freezing during multiplayer, especially when summoned, is a pretty common occurance. Never had it BSOD on me before though.

Game is poorly optimised exposing unstable hardware.

I don't get this, I can run it on basically max settings with no hiccups. The only times I've ever had issues was the occasional crash when summoning somebody. So how is it poorly optimized? When I check the numbers while playing none of my hardware is being stressed.

Maybe I'm just lucky.

OP, Check your event viewer like I said.. it may give you a better idea of what is going on.

The game does not handle aset loading well and it often pops in to late even tho the hardware has plenty of resources to keep it loading in, its optimised for consoles not for PC, consoles utilize memory differently which does not work at all on PC, this is why you see crashes when you summon as example cos it has to load in assets and so on, and if your PC is unstable it can even lead to a crash.

interesting, didn't know this, probably a combination of the game being very poorly optimized for pc, and my laptop being old as ♥♥♥♥ and only half working

checked, didn't this warning appeared both before and after the crash
"The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{2593F8B9-4EAF-457C-B68A-50F6B8EA6B54}

and the errors are:

"The previous system shutdown at 1:53:13 PM on ‎6/‎2/‎2022 was unexpected."

"Dump file creation failed due to error during dump creation."

"Dump file creation failed due to error during dump creation."

"Unable to produce a minidump file from the full dump file."

"The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000133 (0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000001e00, 0xfffff8076d4fb320, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000."

Chronological order from top to bottom.

And yea my laptop is quite old and is noticeably slower than when it was new.

Does this go paired with a Power Kernel error?

nope, only those errors

[Slowboi]

the only persistent problems i've had are that my HDD is kinda slow and sound not working for some applications

Open CMD as an Admin and type the following (including spaces): SFC /scannow

Hit enter , let the scan run , it will fix issues with ur windows installation this may help.

try a program called whocrashed, its free and easy, it will scan your crash logs after a reboot to see which one did it.

This prog is very good in figuring out possible cause of the crash , Used to use it myself when i had a busted PSU.
