BSOD on exiting games...

[chrome0011]

When I exit certain games, most namely America's Army, I get the Blue Screen of Death. Check sig for system specs. Any help or advice would be awesome. Thanx!!

What does EVENT VIEWER say [found in administrative tools].

Look for any events at the same time as bsod's,
include the following in your next post.

I'm not sure on what the engine is but,

I've found thet a lot of people have been having a lot of reboots with Unreal 2 titles. In my case a vid driver rollback is all I needed to stop the reboots and blue screens.

Lotsa of chatter on the Atari/Unreal tourney site.

9800 Pro

I believe both of these titles use the Unreal engine, so when I get home I'll try that rollback... I'll keep u posted. Thanx for help!!

OK, got it solved. I had to disable DEP (Data Execution Prevention) in Windows. Apparently this "feature" was part of SP2 to stop worms from executing in-system. Or something. Anyway, no more BSOD. //fingers crossed...

Thanks for the tips gents and hope this helps others!!
