Blue Screen Of Death

[Hektor Riven]

Greetings fellow henries,

I've completed Kingdom Come Deliverance, playing it very extensively, then I uninstalled it for some months.
Today I decided to reinstall it and I've used my backup of the saved games and the profile configuration files (the only game I have which saves into "C://Users/*username*/Saved Games").

Unfortunately, with the same configuration settings and the same computer settings, the game now crashes with nothing less but a Blue Screen Of Death, after some minutes of play.
I see it uses the CPU extensively, however in my case it's watercooled so it never surpasses the 80°C and I never ever had Blue Screens Of Death with other games.

Despite having quite a decent rig, with a GTX980Ti Reference and an i7 4790K, I've set the game on low quality for most of the settings, so it shouldn't be very taxing. I'm using Windows 7, which hasn't been updated in these last months either, you know...

I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem.

Thanks in advance.

couple log files (kcd.log launcher.log) in
...\steam\steamapps\common\kingdomcomdeliverance
might narrow down the problem.

check windows event viewer and also windows reliability history. might be a crash event

perhaps the graphic card driver updated since you last played?

This is not a game problem, other than maybe something corrupt with your install. Validate steam game files first (look up if you need to know), hopefully just that will work and not need to uninstall/reinstall the game.

Also, no judgement since I used 980Ti and i7 2700K within past few years (it's still my backup system), but do you have an overclock on that K chip? Disable the overclock in BIOS and see what happens.

Also, going to be controversial, but older GPU likely not a good idea to use latest drivers. Find an older stable driver for that 980Ti and just stick with it. If you can't find older drivers (I think nvidia removed 'legacy' driver downloads) they may be at Guru3D website. I might also have a driver install file from those years, let me know before I bother to check.

Also always use a driver uninstaller, don't just update see: https://www.guru3d.com/files_details/display_driver_uninstaller_download.html

Greetings, thanks for the info, I will check the logs and the event viewer.

Indeed the CPU is overclocked, however it's the same overclock applied by the BIOS since I've built the computer, and I played Kingdom Come Deliverance with that setting too.
In addition I'm still using the very same NVidia driver by a lot of time because it didn't got updated for Windows 7, so I never updated it.

Thanks again for the information, I will make an investigation now.
It may be then that the computer could have something broken within its hardware.
