BSOD possible cause?

[hes just destroying it]

So yesterday, I was playing the game normally for about an hour and for the first time I got a BSOD with error code "Attemped Execute of No Execute Memory" while I was starting a new mission in a hellpod.

For background information, I have had this pc for about 6 months now with minimal issues and have only gotten one or two CTDs from Helldivers. Other games don't crash 99% of the time, including this one.

The weird thing is after the BSOD my pc rebooted and I loaded up the game and had no issues the rest of the night. I can run Helldivers at 4k native with no fps drops or stutter.

I checked temps today and they were normal, fans running at normal RPM, pumps in AIO working fine, windows memory diagnostic showed no issue with ram and windows detects both sticks.

My question is, could this be a nProtect Gameguard problem? I saw some others on reddit saying it could be and it isn't far off considering how many people have issues with stability.

My specs:

Nvidia 4090
i9 14900k
T Force Delta 32GB ram
Asus Z790 P wifi mobo
XMP enabled
No OC on anything

I also checked event viewer at the time of the BSOD and got a Kernel-Power critical error, which I am not sure about. Does anyone know why this could be?

[Anzietyy]

It could be as I had 2 bsod last friday in my 980 pro and never had this happened in my last playthroughs in the past weeks. After the bsod, I was getting constant crashes with blackscreen albeit my PC was still running and it's happening to other games as well. I had to reinstall windows on my crucial ssd and was able to play the game without any probs. Now I'm not sure if it's my ssd failing or just the game itself because of the nprotect issue. There's a thread about this issue here in general discussion but it's gonna be a long read.

I had a Kernel Power issue as well in the event viewer. Usually that's related to PSU. But this game did potentially crash my PC. It only happened once. Apparently a search shows the error means this;

“ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY.” The error occurs as a result of faulty or outdated device drivers, an issue in the RAM, a virus, a malware infection, or corrupted system memory.

Did you build the PC yourself?

You can try turning off XMP and seeing if the error still happens. You can try running memtest86 to see if there are any issues with your RAM. You can try running SFC/Scannow and see if there are any errors. You can try reseating the RAM. Updating your drivers. Reinstalling Windows. Run a chkdsk. Try a clean boot.

It could very well be the game since it has been causing crashes according to some people but yeah, maybe try some of those things.

I will see if it happens again, but yes I did build it. Super weird I am so unsure as to what could have happened.

Well I did experience a complete shutdown and restart when playing the game. Never happened before in any other game or in general. Then I checked the Event Viewer and it had a Kernel Power Critical Error as well. It's probably the anti-cheat. Who knows for sure. I have seen people complain about crashing with this game. You can try a few things I've suggested and see if any errors are found just to be sure. Usually that event viewer error indicates a bad or faulty power supply but in this case, I highly doubt it.

[A Suspicious Crayon]

Just asking, is anyone of you using a thirdparty antivirus? If so, deinstall it and check if it solved it.

Kernel Power btw is not related to the Anticheat, it isn't even related to kernel access, it's most likely a failing powersupply, had that happen before after buying a new PSU it stopped.

Games do not cause BSODs nowadays.

Something on your end must be causing it.
Run diagnosis and check everything if it works as it should as something clearly does not.

Certain people are rather paranoid when it comes to the anti-cheat. What you described sounds more like something with your hardware is reaching its limits. In most cases it is either the PSU or some cooling need renewal. That can happen with demanding games which spike performance here and there if not kept in check e.g. with a FPS limiter.

Not sure why some players aim for astronomic FPS if their monitors cannot even display them.

I've noticed a rather large increase in CTDs since the arc weapon patch. Sometimes I get a crash report other times it's just a lockup and I have to kill the process in the task manager. Only had 1 BSOD on my new'ish rig and it was caused from HD2 on a bug mission on diff7.
I can recreate the CTD like clock work by picking up a thrown bot grenade, I've even had a crash throwing a stun grenade into a dropship.

BSOD's nowadays are hardware related. So something on your pc is dying.

This game is completely broken. Nothing but crashes. It wouldn't surprise me if the game is causing all this mess with it's outdated discontinued engine that is longer supported or receives updates.

For me a defective RAM module was causing all my BSODs.
And I had several Critical Events in the Event Viewer.
Such as Kernel Power and the same you had.

Test your RAM with MemTest86 and see if any of the RAM modules is faulty.
Good luck with fixing it.

ordered new rams on friday but the thing is other games using just as much ram run fine... so the game is touching the rams NONOZONE while other games are not. is the ram faulty brobably but the game should be able to deal without crashing whole system.

I've done 8 passes on 32gb (took a while) and have had no errors and nothing else crashes even 9 hour blender renders using most (all) of the ram and DCS eats into my page file with no issues. me thinks this game is bunk
