    BSOD and CTD when playing Dying Light, had no problem with other games


    Hi guys, this is my second BSOD post, this time it's for my own desktop. I've been playing Dying Light recently, and have been experiencing CTDs and BSODs during playing, had been playing for around 20 hours in total and had 2 BSODs and about 4-5 CTDs. I never had any problem with other games.

    After the 1st BSOD, I looked at the event log and did some research and thought it's probably a faulty display driver, so I rebooted into safe mode and did a DDU, and installed the latest WHQL driver. But just now I was playing with a friend, had 2 more CTDs and another BSOD, so I've no idea how to fix this now. Please help...

    The event log cannot be scanned properly as there are many words in a foreign language.

    Some terms were searchable and other not preventing a comprehensive analysis.

    This is an example of an entry that needs further workup: WHEA

    Please make sure you use the Memtest86+ version 5.01 with the link below.
    Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
    The testing is done not by time but by passes.
    The more passes the better.
    There are a significant number of false negatives if fewer than 8 passes are made.
    A false negative is a test pass when there is malfunctioning RAM.
    There is 16 GB of RAM on the computer.
    Memtest86+ version 5.01 testing takes approximately 1 - 2 hours /GB RAM
    Just 1 error is a fail and you can abort testing.

    I just updated my system spec, here it is:

    Computer type: PC/Desktop
    System Manufacturer/Model Number: Custom
    OS: Windows 10 Pro x64
    CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K
    Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 5
    Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4
    Graphics Card(s): EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti SC
    PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2

    For the event log, I really have no idea why it is in Chinese, my PC is pretty new, and was using Windows 10 x64 English since day 1, as you can see in the screenshot I attached, when I go view the event log, it's all in English, I don't know why when collecting using the dm_log_collector.exe it's all in Chinese, none of the system accounts are in Chinese either, so this completely baffles me... do you guys know why it would be like this? And is there some way I can export the events in the Event Logs manually for you guys to view? I'm thinking if I can see it in English, when I manually export it, it should be in English as well...

    Nevermind, just figured it out, it's the system locale for non-Unicode application setting... So here's the logs again, should be all in English now, sorry about this.

    These are boot-start drivers that have failed to load. If the drivers were not causes of BSOD please update each driver. If they were identified as causes of BSOD they should have already been uninstalled or updated.

    A couple of questions:

    1. I have removed the hard drive that is reported in the log from my computer, just want to double check, that is the only hard drive having problem right?

    2. I downloaded and ran the test in HD Tune, but the free version doesn't even recognize my main hard drive, it was reporting a wrong size, so I don't know how much of it can be trusted, do I need to buy the full version?

    3. For the boot load drivers, I've uninstalled VBOX, but for the other fail to load ones, I've no idea how to update them, for example the Avira ones, they comes with the free version of Avira, and my Avira is up to date, so can I just stop them from starting? And how do I do that?

    I also notice my video card is sitting at ~80C when playing Dying Light, so I installed EVGA Precision XOC and applied the aggressive fan curve, played for 2 extra hours yesterday, didn't run into any problem, so maybe the CTDs and BSODs had something to do with video card overheating. I'll keep monitoring.

    All drives should be checked for:
    Health (SMART tests)
    Benchmark
    Error (surface) scans
    chkdsk /x /f /r

    Make sure that you backup all files to another drive or to the cloud.

    And all HD should also be tested using long generic.

    All of the tests that are ordered should be free or 30 day trial versions. There should be no cost.

    HD Tune should be able to perform the error scan.
    Some Samsung drives need Samsung drive tests such as magician.
    Run the tests as best you can with HD tune.
