BSOD on Windows 7 and currently Windows 10 while playing Dota2
Hi,
when i start Dota2 (which runs with the -dx9 parameter by default) the game and Windows crash fight after the main menu loads. For this crash i have attached the file generated by the log collecotor.
I have had this problem with Windows 7 and currently with Windows 10. I have tried various drivers and currently was using the old ones which i downloaded from the vendor (acer) website. But the exact same error happens with newer drivers as well. I reinstalled WIndows several times, replaced the HDD, installed various drivers for different components, nothing helped. Also, i used to install Ubuntu on a separate partition, i remember the game crashing there too, but that was long ago. Maybe i'll try it again tomorrow.
The Laptop had overheating problems (it never turned off due to that though, it was just really hot with over 90° most of the time while playing), currently its barely over 80°.
Now the other part of the problem (and the reason why i could live with the first problem for so long) is, that when i start the game with the -dx11 parameter, the game does not crash right after the start. It crashes while i play the game, sometimes not in days and sometimes all the time. Of course right now it doesnt want to crash, so ill upload the dump as soon as the game crashes. Although i have to say, that i need to use newer drivers for -dx11 to work, and the newer drivers dont cause Windows to crash, only the game. So ill upload the crash dumps from the game instead.
Sorry for the wall of text, i hope that someone can take a look at the dump from the first problem (with -dx9).Attachment 58578
