Blue Screen of Death
So,
I just got into the beta Via Micro Transaction. I played in the open beta weekend for quite a few hours and experienced no problems. However, after the update. I experience random BSOD's shortly into the game. It is always preceded by killing an elite mob of some kind. Not sure if this is a known problem, but it does make me rather sad to know I presently can not play the game despite paying. System Spec's: Windows 7 Pro 64 CPU - 3.4GHz i7-2600k RAM - 16gb DDR3 GPU - 2x MSI 6950 2GB | |
It should be noted that I also ran a PackCheck and it returned 0 errors.

Your not alone. im also having the blue screen when playing this game once it was done patching.

I would always BSOD when I entered the quest area for "Through Sacred Ground" in Act 2. I can't remember the exact name of the map but as soon as I entered I would crash everytime. I did this like 4 times. My friend would BSOD everytime he entered the town in Act 2.
At first I thought it was something wrong with my hardware but I'm pretty sure it's not. We don't experience BSODs in any other games, in fact I haven't BSODed in years until I played this game. | |

Here is a solution that Shtormovik came up with:
" If you don't have a Creative sound card, you should also try updating your other drivers - Path of Exile can't cause a BSOD, but it can activate a part of your hardware that isn't usually used that may cause one. Balance & Design
