BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) after latest update
Specs:
- Windows 11
- 4070 12GB
- i7-13700F
- 16GB RAM @ 5600 (though limited to 4400)
- 1TB SSD, but game is on a 3TB HDD
- All game settings are ran at the lowest, 1080p, system temps are perfectly fine (GPU is 70° max, CPU is 50° max according to HWinfo)
- No overclocks or underclocks
-
Issue:
Since the latest update that was released on Tuesday, BF2042 causes my PC to blue screen when the game is closed (Alt+F4, closing the window with the X, closing the game from the main menu, or even exiting back to the main menu after a match)
-
This also happens when closing the game during the infinite "Satellite" loading screen bug that doesn't load up the main menu/connect to EA servers & just repeats the Satellite cutscene/loading animation until the game is closed & started a 2nd time - close the game in any way, instant BSOD and restarts my PC
-
This is the ONLY game this happens in, the ONLY program whatsoever that causes this; my PC is less than 1 month old so it isn't due to the Intel issues either, it's 100% a BF2042 software bug as it's only been happening since the update on Tuesday.
-
Troubleshooting done so far:
- Updated BIOS to the latest version (Microcode 129 - Lenovo)
- Intel Turbo Boost disabled in BIOS
- Windows Defender setting disabled & then re-enabled (forgot the name of it, but saw it suggested when browsing the forum)
- Repaired the game files
- Ran sfc /scannow, everything is in good standing
- Reinstalled NVidia drivers (clean install, 537.58)
- BSOD dump file (multiple files analyzed) shows that "ntkrnlmp.exe" is the culprit of the BSOD each time - BSOD screen shows "hypervisor error" when it pops up each time (no virtual machine is being used)
