Blue Screen(BSOD) only on Lineage II

well, my brother just bought his first computer and i assemble the pieces. all ok, but when i start lineage 2, could be 20 minutes or 1 hour, bsod always come.

the rig:

all stock
fx 6300
corsair vs450w
asus m5a78l-m lx3
2x4gb kingston hyperx ddr3 1600mhz
wd 500 gb 7200 rpm
r9 270x dual boot oc sapphire
plantronics gamecom 780 7.1
windows 8.1 64bit

what i've tried(x means fail):

update the bios - x
load bios defaults/check for auto overclock - x
all updates windows 8.1 - x
uninstall all sound drivers(onboard and plantronics, reinstalled plantronics only) - x
reinstall lineage ii - x
downclock the r9 270x - x
run prime 95 test for a few hours - x (no bsod)
run heaven benchmark for a few hours - x (no bsod)
run planetside 2(cpu intensive) for several hours - x (no bsod)
deactivate the anti-virus(avast free) - x
deactivate windows firewall - x
check temperatures cpu/gpu - x (all normal)

i can't read the bsod error, the screen goes with "stripes" and and i see anything. i've tried to see on windows/minidump but i don't know how to open dmp files or what to do with that.
on windows eventlog i get critical error kernel 41(63).

dont know what to do anymore...

 

no idee about windows 8.1 and lineage 2 "compatibility", i will check if i find something, or if someone who's playing with that allready can post.

most of random bsods (psod ?) are related to memory, first check that your memory voltage and timings settings are ok in bios.
check recommended memory slots setup in motherboard documentation.
then test your memory with memtest or another tool.

i allready had this random bsod behaviour with this "oc" type videocard and last official drivers version.
was with nvidia card, but installing old drivers version solved my problem.

 

send pls your latest dump i'll look what could cause those bsod

i use on my pc windows 8.1 aswell with no problems.

core i5 3570k 4.4 ghz
asrock z77 pro 4
ssd kingston v300 60gb
asus r9 290 1150/6000
corsair vengeance 1500 7.1 usb
corsar cx600w
windows 8.1 all updates

 

where did you get that file from? as it is not exactly minidump...
usually dumps are stored in c:\windows\minidump was it taken from there?

 

yea, it was taken from there, all the minidumps
i have more minidumps like this there

 

well i cannot open that one, it's not a dump in fact... send plz a few others then, maybe i'll open some of other

 

hi,

please try program whocrashed to reveal more details - http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed

 

http://www.4shared.com/rar/j_luf5akce/minidumps.html
all the minidumps i have

i downloaded the whocrashed and i've read all the bsod are caused by this:

crash dump directory: c:\windows\minidump

crash dumps are enabled on your computer.

on fri 25/04/2014 1855 gmt your computer crashed
crash dump file: c:\windows\minidump\042514-22359-01.dmp
this was probably caused by the following module: wpprecorder.sys (wpprecorder+0x1967)
bugcheck code: 0x1000007e (0xffffffffc0000005, 0xfffff800541b7967, 0xffffd0009758f198, 0xffffd0009758e9a0)
error: system_thread_exception_not_handled_m
file path: c:\windows\system32\drivers\wpprecorder.sys
product: microsoftâ® windowsâ® operating system
company: microsoft corporation
description: wpp trace recorder
bug check description: this indicates that a system thread generated an exception which the error handler did not catch.
this appears to be a ty****l software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
the crash took place in a standard microsoft module. your system configuration may be incorrect. possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time.

i've tried this too:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com...thandled-wpprecordersys?forum=winserverhyperv

but when the commands on command prompt he says the path specified can't be reached or don't exist

 

hi,
i guess you followed this:

Spoiler

workaround:1) boot to the recovery console (you should automatically get there after a few blue screen crashes)
2) launch command prompt
3) run the following command:
c:\windows\system32\compact.exe /u c:\windows\system32\drivers\*.sys
4) reboot
5) as soon as you successfully boot, disable ntfs compression system-wide so that the cbs scavenger does not reintroduce the issue again:
fsutil behavior set disablecompression 1
6) reboot again (so the disablecompression setting takes effect)

which command does not work? what windows do you have? is it win8 ?

 

yes. 8.1.
start advanced start up, recovery, command prompt and don't work.
maybe i'm doing something wrong

 

hey

i have had the notorius blue screen problem few times in last three weeks.

i solved the problem by - when closing clients i let the client crash one at a time (most of times i get some weird crash pop up when i close client - to desktop).

i used to close them all at once and got the blue screen. now when i wait for the error pop-up in desktop - and close the next client only after the pop-up, i dont get blue screens anymore.

hope this is of any help.

best
ssslice

 

what is exact problem? path does not exist? command not recognized?

screenshot is very welcome,
regards

 

well, when i start the command prompt is like this:
x:\windows\system32>
i put: compact.exe /u
and he says "the system cannot find the path specified."

then i try
cd c:\windows\system32\compact.exe /u
"the system cannot find the path specified."

i don't know what i'm doing wrong

 

Code:

c:\windows\system32\compact.exe /u c:\windows\system32\drivers\*.sys

if your system partition is other than c: then just replace c with the according letter, otherwise don't replace anything and use it as is.
if your system partition is x: then the command would be:

Code:

x:\windows\system32\compact.exe /u x:\windows\system32\drivers\*.sys

 

when i try:
x:\windows\system32\compact.exe /u x:\windows\system32\drivers\*.sys
he says:
"x:\windows\system32\compact.exe" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

when i try to cd to c:\
the system cannot find the path specified.

 

hello, please try to open windows in safe mode with admin priveleges. you can try to prompt this line on command line.

start -> execute -> type "cmd" and open it with admin priveleges (in windows safe mode!)

this should work

 

yep, work that way but didn't work in-game
still bsod
i think i'm gonna give up
has been almost a week without playing l2

 

hello,

pity it didn,t work. but i've just noticed that you have overclocked i5, please lower the clock multiplier to around 200 (i believe you have it around 215). that might be the reason you have bsod's.

for security reasons please set it to around 185 and increase by 5 until you will be getting bsod's (if 185 will be to low for you),

regards

ps: it's to this post unless it was comparison to the first post.

please update your hardware software (graphic card especially) to the latest version
