Game freezes for 45 seconds then crashes to blue screen

Post by shilling »

OK so im playing the game and around 10-15 minutes in consistently the game will freeze for about a minute and then it will go to the blue screen of death, giving me this huge tecnical error junk. I dont know what could cause this, i have more than compatible components for my computer, howevver im not sure about the graphics card. Any solutions/suggestions?

Sounds very much like you have something overheating.

OK so here is the STOP code:

*** STOP: 0x0000008E (0x80000004, 0x806ECAE1, 0xA8DEE64C, 0x00000000)

I think 8E is a RAM error...
