Bsod! Awesome!

[LukeNukem]

So, I have Killing Floor here, but ever since yesterday, whenever I try to play KF, I can get about 30 seconds into the match (be it online or single player) before I crash out with a "reference error" BSOD. The problem will probably be my POS computer, but I'd greatly appreciate it if someone knows a fix or workaround.

My Specs:
Processor: Intel T2050 (1.6 Ghzx2)
RAM: 1014 Mb
Running XP professional SP2 with DX9.0c
Dunno if you need more.

You need to either copy down the error (at least the first line) or/and upload your minidump log (c:\windows\minidump usually) to give people more of a chance of helping you.

Alright, I'll recreate the error and re-post.

You don't need to recreate the error if minidumps are turned on, just look for files dated and timed from when your crashes occured in your windows\minidump folder, and if you have them zip a few up and upload them. If minidumps aren't turned on (check if you have and files in the folder) then do the following before making the computer crash.

In control panel, open the System icon, and do the following:

1. Advanced Tab
2. Startup and Recovery -> Settings
3. Enable Write an Event to the system log
4. Disable Automatically Restart
5. Select the following debugging information:
   • Small memory dump (64 Kb)
   • Small Dump Directory : %SystemRoot%\Minidump
6. Confirm all and restart the computer.

After your computer BSODs the next time, a file should be generated in the minidump folder, which will have detailed information that will help troubleshoot the problem.

I've gt the minidump file, the forums won't let me post or attach it though, and I don't know what is or isn't important.

 

[LukeNukem]

Got the dump right here. Dunno how to make sense of it though.

Looks like my ASUS A6Jc - T2050 , similar overheating?

it's most likely overheating. open up your comp and see how much dust is inside it.
