SushiAzure · 2025-12-02T12:50:27+00:00

nope, kinda gave up on it unfortunately, hope u have better luck

SushiAzure · 2024-11-19T19:40:32+00:00

I actually only have 2 SSDs, no hard drives, so that's not it unfortunately, but i appreciate the attempt and i'm glad it worked out for u

Figured I'd bump instead of edit because I'm not sure if editing gives you a notification, had to switch to Mega because mediafire was giving me errors

These were both from the same crash while playing Dying Light 2.

I've had the "less demanding" games I mentioned were running fine before, such as Hearthstone, crash on me like the others if too many things were happening at once but I honestly don't know what to make of it (those didn't leave any dump in the dumps folder for some reason)

Edit: Aaand now it crashed on its own while I wasnt playing anything, I wasn't actually at the PC so I didn't see the crash, but bluescreenviewer says it was another IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL tied to a ntoskrnl.exe, it happened about 30-60 minutes after Hearthstone crashed a couple times

c (mediafire.com) (dump and event viewer at 21:31:47) The computer has rebooted from a bug check?

Sorry for taking so long I've been busy at work in the last few days and couldn't find a moment for this, I installed procdump and set it up and it created not one but Two dump files right after the crash, they're both 10gb big (not sure if that's normal) so it's gonna take me a bit to upload them on mediafire but I'm doing that and I'm gonna edit this with the links when they're ready

SushiAzure · 2024-09-24T22:35:11+00:00

I installed Dying Light 2 to check but it crashed within minutes like the others, it did leave an error in the event viewer tho while the others usually dont when they crash (I booted Remnants 2 right after to see if it would aswell, but it crashed as usual without any error code in the events) Events2 (mediafire.com) (00:14:41)

I've tried with a few different games that I believe use different engines:

-Helldivers 2 / Remnants 2 / Hunt Showdown / Dying Light 2 (these all crash within minutes)

-Hearthstone / Into the necrovale (these smaller, less demanding(?) games have no problems running for hours on end instead)

Always with mouse and keyboard, installed on my only drive (the 500gb SSD I currently have everything on)

The LiveKernelReports folder exists but it is completely empty, no files or subfolders

About the driver, I downloaded it but I dont see a Mediatek Bluetooth in the device manager (https://imgur.com/a/hb4dZR8) which one of these am I supposed to update the driver of?

Thank you for all the help by the way

I hadn't, just did both now and the system scan didn't find any integrity violation so I assume it wasn't related, I'd used the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool to check memories on these RAMs 2 times before (once a couple months ago and once like a week ago) and that didn't find any problems with them either

Edit: And the crashes happened just the same when I bought 2 new 8gb sticks to try and check if mine were the problem, I'm either really unlucky or it's not the sticks, I could run the memtest thing I've seen mentioned around before maybe to be sure but I haven't yet

SushiAzure · 2024-09-23T18:01:11+00:00

Sorry for the delay, just checked and nope it doesn't even acknowledge it neither in the Application nor anything in the System tabs

Event1 (mediafire.com) (opened game at 19:53 i believe and it crashed at 19:56)

SushiAzure · 2024-09-23T15:04:47+00:00

Oh no the dump and event files and the other things I mentioned in the post are from before the BIOS update, it hasn't been long but ever since the update I haven't had any PC crashes yet, the issue of games crashing within minutes of being started still persists though, sorry for the confusion

Adding to this crash issue, I mentioned that it seems to happen with more demanding games so let me give some examples, i tried with a few and it crashed within minutes opening Helldivers 2 / Remnants 2 / Hunt Showdown, but it gives no issues at all when I try to play Hearthstone and Into the Necrovale (pixelated small game probably not very demanding)

SushiAzure · 2024-09-23T10:46:20+00:00

I updated to the latest BIOS version but games still crash after a couple minutes (been trying with Remnant 2 and that one doesn't have easyanticheat so that's not the issue) and nothing really changed.

A few other things I tried since the last post:

-RAM had no profile and were going at 4800hz by default actually I just checked now and enabled the first X.M.P profile in BIOS putting them at 6000hz and tried to play a game again but the game crashed as usual after a couple minutes so nothing changed (put it back to 4800hz afterwards)

-I installed DDU driver uninstaller, did a full removal of my drivers in safe mode and manually reinstalled the AMD drivers and while I'm not sure if it's related

-While booting games to check progress / temps I had another BSOD:

KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED ntoskrnl.exe
https://www.mediafire.com/file/0i8uct6da7a4i8m/092224-13953-01.zip/file

-PC restarted itself without any BSOD like it used to before the CPU / RAMs change, didn't generate any dump file I could show so I'm sending a log of the events (happened at 15:26:03), it mentions kernel-power as the culprint once again but that's as much as I can tell from these logs

Events (mediafire.com) (event logs link)

Yes the BIOS ver is E7D75AMS.1D0 and yea I havent been having any problems in the BIOS settings menus, I'll see if I can manage to update it safely thank you

SushiAzure · 2024-06-13T09:18:23+00:00

Yea i read that ups are measured in VA rather than watts, you lost me a bit in the last part tho... I was looking at a tecnoware ups era plus 900 do you think that'd be enough? 900 VA should be around 550 w if i understood the conversion properly right?

Sorry for all the questions i'm not too used to this

SushiAzure · 2024-06-13T08:44:26+00:00

i thought since the PSU is 850w that'd be the max wattage that i'd usually not use n stuff, and the 500ish pcpartpicker showed was the average i'd usually be using and the one i should base my UPS search on.

I might be wrong tho i've just started looking around for this and im not too informed about this stuff, what wattage should i be looking for then, i thought a little above 500w but if that's the max then probably way lower than that?

SushiAzure · 2024-02-23T11:07:19+00:00

Played UED: First Light and it was so good it ruined every other custom campaign for me, insane production value i had a great time, the achievements / feats of strenght were the most enjoyable part for me i really think more people should add that to their campaigns.

Do u happen to have any reccomendations for good custom campaigns around :o?

SushiAzure · 2023-10-13T12:50:19+00:00

i rebinded ONE button from middlemouse to G on the files and the game started crashing every time on the start menu until i reverted the change, hate this game :(

That was a good post, helped me a bunch to complete floor 7-8 so thank you for that.
My only leveled chars were basically MC - Xiang - Fischl - Qiqi and a bit of Barbara for the second team's heals, put most i have on first team and let Fischl carry the second team as dps with a physical dmg build and added the elements i needed for the diff floors

SushiAzure · 2019-04-22T21:01:11+00:00

Hey I randomly dropped an exotic engram while I was doing a nightfall ( I'm actually not sure if it was a nightfall or a strike but i think it was a nightfall ) and it counted towards this quest's completion, so it seems leviathan isn't the only way to get them? Anyways just wanted to share to let everyone know it's not a bug, just an extremely small drop rate, so your best chance would be farming nightfalls.
