D3 Crashing During Gameplay(1)Category: Technical SupportJanuary-26-2016 6:01 PM PST (7 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
So I just lost my HC char to a game crash.

It only happens every few days or so, but all of a sudden my game will just crash and freeze. When this happens I alt+F4 then force close D3. If I try to re-open it through the desktop launcher, my computer BSOD's.

Also, whenever I successfully log out of D3, I hear this weird humming noise coming from my tower. If I go into task manager DiabloIII.exe is still running, once I end process the noise stops.

Nickerz,

I'd suggest doing a Google search or whatever search provider you use for the BSOD code and see what articles come up.

A humming noise is usually a fan running faster than normal such as would happen if something were overheating. I'd run a temp monitoring utility and see how hot your graphics card is getting. HWMonitor is one we often recommend.

Nickerz,

It's usually listed on the top line on the BSOD page. If your PC is rebooting before you get to see it, you need to change a setting in Windows so it stays displayed.

Here are links to a couple of articles on another site that should help.

Nickerz,

There's only so much that can actually make a noise in a computer. Fans, a hard drive, hum or sounds from a sound card maybe, and possibly coil whine from a video card or power supply.
