Blue Screen of Death

[captainducko]

This game just made my PC blue screen. I was rushing through without locking doors behind me so I think that resulted in lots of enemies existing in memory. Then I entered a room with no ceiling or walls, just a long corridor surrounded by grey and I was like "huh wtf don't remember this room before" and then I had a massive BSOD with that horrible sound coming from the speakers and I had to power cycle to get to my desktop. The BSOD said UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION

Any kind tech priests know what could have caused this? It's a laptop, maybe overheating?

Upload your crash dump for someone, i.e. me, to analyze. Or analyze it yourself WinDbg does everything for you.

ty there's no MEMORY.DMP anywhere on my disk (I've changed settings for a complete dump, it was automatic before). Any idea if there'll be anything in event viewer? The only critical log entries are two Kernel-Power 41 entries. I think I'll have to wait for it to happen again

Look for the dump the next time you get a crash.

I will thank you...I've set the graphics from maximum to high and it hasn't crashed while playing the first level again and letting loads of nids come in...I did read maximum makes a computer chug despite there being now discernible difference between max and high so I'm hoping playing on high is ok and it's just some unoptimization
