Blue Screen of Death(1)Category: Technical SupportApril-21-2013 9:02 AM PDT (10 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I never experienced this with any other games on my PC except Diablo 3, but about two weeks ago I started getting a Blue Screen upon crash. I checked my drivers....all up to date. Been playing D3 for about a year. All other hardcore games do not crash my system, only D3 does.

The crash doesn't happen 100% of the time. It is like Itemization items...its is like RNG. no clue when it will happen, but normally closer to logging in or being in the AH.

The crash or blue screen forces me to reboot and lose progress no matter where I am at in the game. This just started happening to my system about two weeks ago.

I did roll my system back to February. I still only crash to Blue Screen on D3. As I said it is random, but getting annoying especially doing Uber runs.

Anyone figure this out.

Thanks,

Fangbow

Fangbow,

What's the top line on the BSOD say? There's usually a code after the word STOP:

That's what you'd typically search on the net for to see what might be causing it.

If your computer is rebooting and not giving you enough time to read the screen, try turning off the "automatic restart" option on your computer. This way, the computer will display an error message instead of rebooting each time the error occurs.

Windows XP:

Click on the "Start" button
Right-click on "My Computer" and choose "Properties"
Click on the "Advanced" tab
Click on the "Settings" button in the "Startup and Recovery" box
Uncheck the "Automatically Restart" option
Click "OK"

Windows Vista/7:

Click on the "Start" button
Right Click on "Computer" and choose "Properties"
Click on the Advanced tab
Locate the Startup and Recovery area and click on the Settings button.
In the Startup and Recovery window, locate and uncheck the check box next to Automatically restart.
Click OK in the Startup and Recovery window.
Click OK in the System Properties window.
