[1.1] Blue screen crash immediately after starting a game

December 20, 2010 10:55:25 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

I played for a couple hours last night then started a new game.  I saw the map for a moment and then my computer blue screened.  Here's the debug.err text:

Typically a BSOD is indicative of a hardware issue (ex: overheating, weak power supply) or driver failure. If it happens again, write down the details on the BSOD and it should allow you to get a better idea of what might be wrong.

Thing is, I'm only getting BSOD with Elemental.  I can play games like Borderlands, Fallout 3, and Torchlight for hours without a hitch, so I'm not inclined to think it's a problem with my hardware.  Still, probably wouldn't hurt to update my video card drivers just in case.  I'll try to catch the BSOD details if it happens again.
