BSOD Playing Diablo 3 on R2

My wife just started playing D3 on the R2 of the sessions she has had playing it both times randomly she has got a BSOD.

GFX drivers are to up to date and windows is up to date, any ideas?

I'm playing it on the R3 and not had a single error.

Apologies i seem to have made 2 threads due to a network error

 

eVGA Precision Tools on the Alienware M11x R2 + Freezing Fix - YouTube try this!

 

Im getting same issue, seems random. Gonna update drivers...

I played this AM for 2 hours and had no problems, then i played for another 3 this evening and had no problems for about 2. then I loaded up diablo 3, and it BSOD again, then loaded it up and had no problems for the final hour, then another BSOD.

Servers are down now so i cant check, but i did update drivers.

EDIT:clarifying previous post.

 

Anyone else having this issue? i still am. its definitely random, i played for 3.5 hrs today, but then got a bsod after 10 minutes.

i checked temps, everything holds at 60 degrees celsius (gpu and cpu)

m11xr2 i7

any ideas? thanks

 

Wife played a lot yesterday didn't get BSOD once.

 

I got frequent BSOD, but then I looked at that youtube clip above. Instead of subscribing to their website, I downloaded MSI Afterburner, loaded it up and turned my core clock speed down to 425 (miniscule downclock) and haven't had a crash ever since. Give it a shot..

 

Just wanted to chime in. I was having BSOD issues too randomly from 15 min to 4 hours of play time, then boom bsod. I used Nvidia inspector to downclock gpu to 425 mhz as suggested here on the forums and I've now beated normal and nightmare without a further crash! So if people are still having issues, try that!

 

Would i really need to downclock though? i havent had any issues across any games over the past 2 years.

this thread has a ton of others having similar issues:

entire PC crashes a couple minutes into game - Forums - Diablo III

is downclocking 'safe'? i have never messed with clocks on the video card.

 

I havent ever had bsod in any other games despite entire days spent gaming, but d3 loves to crash. After the downclock no crashes at all. Downclocking is entirely safe if only because it means your graphics card would be running ever so slightly slower. I have no idea why d3 keeps crashing or why other m11x r2 owners seem to be having issues, but at least i can play now.

 

so 425 seems to be the golden # with the core clock speed right?

Thats what others seem to be reporting. i will def have to try this when i get home from work.

 

Hello all,

I've been having BSOD problems all day with D3. I am trying to downclock to 425 with nvidia Inspector, but I can't seem to get the setting to stay on whenever i reboot. Can someone please help me out?

 

i just downclocked to 425 and it def fixed my bsod problem (well i went 6 hours and no problems).

i couldnt get it to stay after reboot, but i just downclocked and then ran the game (no reboot).

 

Hey everyone,

I have m11x r2 - I used MSI to downclock to 425 but I still keep getting BSOD - in as little as under an hour. Thoughts?

What other settings/programs are people running along with the 425 downclock?

 

By the way, my temp when I get BSOD is low-mid 70s.

 

could be the temp - i responded on the other thread to u. i do use a cooler and i never exceed 55 degrees celcius on the gpu or cpu.

a overheat lockup is different from BSOD in my experience. an overheat just shuts off and u cant turn on the pc for a couple seconds. a BSOD restarts the PC.

 

ok when using this EVGA.. it take a lot of my cpu.. and it is labeled as EVGA voltage something under task manager and it would have 3-4 of it in task manager anyone know why? it really bogs my computer down to the point it takes years for it to process anything

 

Can anyone tell me if this fix is still currently working? D3 only started freezing for me after that new patch came out a few days ago. The youtube link has comments of people who are saying the fix isnt working after the new patch. I just wanna check with you guys to see if it still works before trying it out.

yea something's wrong with the program.. same thing happened when i installed. try msi afterburner instead. works the same. goodluck!

 

After yet another BSOD that drove me insane. i downloaded msi afterburner and set the core clock at 425. and i was able to play 4 hours without a problem. granted its just the first day so further testing is necessary. but hopefully this has fixed the problem
