plagued by BSOD physical memory dump

Post by cgriffi »

While running PR, getting a ton of BSOD, dumping physical memory. Updated all drivers, still major issues. PR runs great before dump. Tried everything I could find on the forums here, still no luck. Is there anyone that can help?

Effects = low
Geometries = high
Terrain = Med

Most settings medium at this point, no BSOD relief.

-Dell XPS 9100
-Windows 7 64
-GeForce GTX 280
-8 GB ram
-Core i7 920, 2.67
-RealTek High definition audio

Are there log/.dmp files I can attach to make my problem more clear? Any help much appreciated!!!!

I've come across and helped five people now with Realtek Audio causing BSODs with PR. I'm not entirely sure what is incompatible between the two, but go into your BIOS, disable the onboard audio and use a USB based audio solution (headset) or play with no sound. Of the six people that have tried this now, five found it to be the underlying cause of the BSODs.

Someone pointed it to a Windows Update [Realtek] driver that sucks, but I'm not really sure how many were using the Win defaults/updates vs the Realtek site ones... all I know is that *not* using the realtek soundcard allows them to play flawlessly.

Could be other things though :)
