Recurrent blue screens

[lbuchele]

I sthere some sort of fix to the CTD with blue screens and messages like BAD_POOl_CLEANER and others?

I get this when trying to use external views or F10, or even trying to fly campaigns(every time I save first mission, blue screen of death...)

Some times this happens in the middle of missions, without explanation,too...

I´m running 1440x900 , settings med to high, in a AMD X2 5200, geForce 8600GT , 2 GB RAM,mobo Asus M2N,MSFF2 with force feedback disabled, with excelent frame rates and no stuttering.

Do you experience CTD and BSODs only in Lock On?

 

Could be from the dual core CPU? AFAIK you need to make Lock On to run only in one core by setting the affinity of the game exe.

Yes, it´s happening only in lock on.

In fact, I have only the blue screens,no CTDs.

I´m interested in what you say about the dual core.Do I have to set the game to run just in one core, to prevent crashes?How can I do that?

thanks for replying.

Well, try a search on the english part of forum with the "dual core". Check to be just the titles of the threads.

 

I don't have a dual core so I didn't bumped in to that problem ...yet. So, I am not an expert in it :)... but I heard people talking about it in here.

 

Give it a try to the search function ;) .

 

 

Also, what is the error reported in the blue screens?

BAD_POOL_CLEANER or nv4... something like this.

nv4_disp.dll is the video driver from nVidia. If you get blue screens from it then something could be wrong with your card or card drivers. Or maybe some settings are bad.

 

have you tried nHancer? A software that allows you to create/manage application profiles for your videocard and with the help of it you could test different driver settings more easily.

 

I have a 7950GT card so is a bit different from yours but these are my settings:
