BSOD after 10 mins of playing

[Lazer Lord]

i've seen a few other posts about this and not sure if there's an actual fix yet, but DD2 lets me play consistently for about 10 mins before my entire computer crashes. it's not just the application but it's my whole PC that just freezes, and the only way to turn it off and restart it is to hold the power button to force it to shut off. any other game that i try works perfectly fine and i can play for as long as i want to and this issue seems to only happen with DD2. i've verified game files, updated drivers, launched as admin and all my graphical settings equal to an amount thats well below my available RAM. do i just have to wait till its addressed and fixed by devs?

well i dont have BSODS im having like crashes, and i need to play on extended modus or i cannot exit the game and i have to restart my pc lolll

ya ctd is not nearly the same thing as having a bsod which shuts down and restarts the pc.

maybe op wanna update his post if its not a bsod? you can still get bsod to this day. there is just a lot of QA that goes into new parts making it seem impossible to get.

yeah sorry for the confusion haha i read the problem to fast.

oh..finally we understood the difference between a BSOD (should never happen in the year 2024) and a CTD ;-)

so technically the entire computer just freezes lmao, i wish it would crash to desktop so that i could get into looking at what actually went wrong faster. but what exactly happens is that the game just hangs up randomly, and whatever the last noise the game made will play in my headphones at a super loud volume and none of my keys work at all, so the only thing that i can do is hold the power button on my pc to force it to shut off, then when i turn it on again i get the blue screen that tells me that windows didnt shut down correctly and then i have to restart my pc again. it's only DD2 that does tho like i mentioned

that a pc lock. could be psu causing it.

Which model CPU do you have? is it Intel i9 13900K or i9 14900K? cause they have problem with overheating.

So I was randomly checking out customer reviews of Intel i9-14900K/KF CPUs and wow looks like a lot of people have either received faulty chips, or their chips are degrading at an alarming rate. This is really not good...

The problems seem to focus on Unreal Engine games, with reports of issues in Hogwarts Legacy, Lies of P, and The Callisto Protocol, to name a few. In most cases, the game will report an error that it’s out of video memory before crashing. In the worst cases, the crash will cause a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) on Windows, forcing your PC to restart.

For my part, I’ve been running a Core i9-13900K in my main gaming PC for more than a year, and I’ve experienced strange crashes and BSODs in games like Fortnite, Returnal, and Lies of P. Although I don’t want to pin the blame on the CPU, in each case, nothing overt caused the crash — it happens randomly, even with the latest graphics drivers.

i've got an i9-10900kf but even when my pc crashes and i check temps after it reboots, it's usually around 60 or 70 degrees. i've seen people have this same issue after aspecific update with the game tho, because i already have close to 20 hours of it working perfectly fine until this week

not a overheat issue, 10900k and even lower cpu will simply throttle at high temp. even though your temps seem hot. its more likely a psu problem or a bios problem.

Then:
1. Check RAM. Use program - MemTest86
2. Check PSU. Use program - OCCT
3. Check Videocard. Use program - Furmark
4. Check all temps under load
5. Check SSD\HDD with - crystaldiskinfo

Also can be software problem, drivers or programs, which cause freeze or BSOD.

update: just played for a few hours and everything worked perfectly fine lmao so irdk whats goin on. this time i launched it through geforce experience while using the optimized graphical settings but that doesnt seem to me like it should be the workaround to what was going on

I had this problem awhile back. Do memtest on ram. I had some bad ram and it would only crash sometimes. Either 4 hours or 10 min. Seemed random. It would hit the bad part of the ram stick and blue screen our.

Funny coincidence that all 3 games u mentioned use Denuvo too

Sounds like CPU overheating issues.
