Blue screen restart then fine, every time(1)Category: Technical SupportMay-10-2014 10:21 AM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I am at a complete loss on this one. Within the first 5 minutes of launching Diablo, if it happens at all, I get a blue screened and computer restarts. I restart Diablo and then I am fine for the rest of the night. Sometimes I will go 4-5 days without it happening, but it's happened the last three days now.

I am confident that I don't have a virus, my computer is up to date and my video card (nvidia GTX 550) drivers are up to date. I even swapped an identical video card from my wife's computer that is rarely used.

People I talk to lean to a video card problem, but I've not had any previous problems with Diablo. My suspicion is a Windows 7 update 2 months ago, which is around the same time this started. I tried a system restore, but I don't have a date available before the update, and I checked into any problems with the update and nothing.

Any ideas for a Hardcore only player???

Just add on the blue screen, it doesn't matter what act I start in, or what I am doing. It will happen with must just sitting in town as it did 10 minutes before writing this. I just know if it doesn't happen within 5 minutes of starting Diablo, then it won't happen at all until I restart my computer (sleep mode or shutdown) and restart Diablo.

Gorthaur ,

You'll need to investigate the data provided by the BSOD.

I'd suggest searching the net for information next.

For example, Googling "how to troubleshoot a bsod" brings up many related articles to get you started.
