Re: Blue Screen of Death after closing BF2042 *FIX HAS BEEN FOUND*

@all

Try this dont use the partition tool for data loss , that wont fix anything !!!

https://www.partitionwizard.com/disk-recovery/kernel-apc-pending-during-exit.html

Check youre system, im also want to know if ya all got memory installed thats compatible with youre cpu ?

And memory tests will not always display an error if something is "wrong" with memory (not compatible, not set as dual channel or just faulty).

Do this also, so i can check some hardware from the system ya use:

Press Windows key + 'R' ,typ CMD
Press and hold down CTRL + SHIFT and press ENTER.
When User Account Control shows up, click Yes.
Now enter this command:

wmic /output:C:\mb_mem_bios_info.txt memorychip list full&wmic /append:C:\mb_mem_bios_info.txt baseboard get product, Manufacturer&wmic /append:C:\mb_mem_bios_info.txt bios get smbiosbiosversion

At youre C: drive there is now a file called mb_mem_bios_info.txt post this file please !!!
Thanks.

Ps the bolded line is just 1 command, copy and past all !!!

Also download and install MALWAREBYTES ANTI - ROOTKIT , just to check if youre system is booting any other stuff 😉

Spoiler

And also this one, important to check if windows got some issue with drivers:
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/driver-verifier-tracking-down-a-mis-behaving/f5cb4faf-556b-4b6d-95b3-c48669e4c983

WARNING - WARNING , if something isnt ok with drivers, youre system could get in a BSOD LOOP.

I had to use SYSTEM RESTORE before i could use my system again.

Also GOOGLE CHROME dint respond anymore after SYSTEM RESTORE !

IMPORTANT - VERIFIER USE AT OWN RISK - NEED TO DO A REFRESH INSTALL IF SYSTEM RESTORE DOESNT FIX ANYTHING !!!!
GOT ISSUE AT WINDOWS LATEST INSIDER VERSION CANARY 23570 !!!!
Its will probarly work ok at none insider versions

  • I launched driver verifier procedure and it dropped to BSOD when windows was loading.

    Error was DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION, but there was no specific information which driver caused it.

  • Guys, i determined which drivers caused BSOD - "Asio" by ASUS.

    After deleting them battlefield successfully quited to desktop.

    Here they are in my case:

    system32\drivers\AsIO2.sys

    system32\drivers\AsIO3.sys
    SysWOW64\drivers\AsIO.sys

  • Why is the anti cheat having issues with these files? Now we just need EA to whitelist them or figure out why there anti cheat is crashing when closing. The answer can not be to delete these files as they are how windows interacts with the hardware like the motherboard.

    AsIO2.sys is a system file associated with the ASUSTeK Computer Inc. hardware, specifically with the ASUS motherboard. It is part of the ASUS system control interface V2 driver, which is a component of the ASUS system utility software. This file is typically located in the 'C:\Windows\System32\drivers' directory.

    The associated software is primarily used for providing an interface between the ASUS hardware (like the motherboard) and the operating system. It helps in managing and controlling the hardware resources, and also assists in the communication between the system's software and hardware. This can include tasks like system monitoring, overclocking, access to BIOS settings, fan control, and more.

    AsIO2.sys is needed for the proper functioning of ASUS hardware and software. If you're using an ASUS system, it's recommended to keep this file for the system to work correctly. 

    I have AsIO2.sys, AsIO3.sys and AsIO.sys

  • @_L1nkoIn_Thanks, that must be it. I'm also using an Asus MB :/ I only got AsIO.sys and AsIO3.sys though. Just to narrow it down a bit more....

    @IkonnGiano I made the mistake to delete the AsIO.sys files. Not only did it not fix my game, but Armoury Crate no longer detects my motherboard. Is there any way I can download the files again? My motherboard is Crosshair VIII Hero x570. I tried to get the files from a friend with an asus x570 strix-e and it caused issues. So the files are specific for each motherboard or even configuration.

    No, unfortunately not. I only got armoury crate to install the files once I reset my PC. Although, I have a suspicion that you can do it without resetting the PC if you :

    1) Disable "install armoury crate" in the bios

    2) uninstall armoury crate if it's installed

    3) re-enable the armoury crate installation from the bios and pray that you get a pop-up to install it. 

    When I tried to download it from the MB's download page it didn't get the AsIO.sys files. 

    In the end at least I got everything working again but I wasted my entire day doing this lol.

    @WorlTrance On a different note, After I finished setting everything up after my PC reset, battlefield 2042 refuses to open properly lol. It opens, I go through the "connecting to EA servers" then a black screen with the blue loading thing going, and the game just closes. No error messages. I tried everything from vc++ to directx to ddu. I'm just re-installing the game rn and hoping it'll work.
  • @xThief16 I was playing BF2024 some months ago, before Season 6 got released. I had that stuck at black screen issue before, but it was very rare. Since Season 6 i get it almost every time plus the BSOD. It just came into my mind that i also got a tool called AI Suite 3 by Asus, which controls the fans and the other performance and power options as in the BIOS. It might be possible it's installing the AsIO.sys as well...

    @WorlTrance Oh I forgot to mention that. Yes, you are correct, It is in fact probably AI Suite 3 causing the issues. It's not the first time it's caused me issues. I recently got rid of it (but AsIO.sys stayed as a file) because I found an AWESOME alternative called "Fan Control". Free, open source, it's honestly perfect.

    PSA: Anyone who has a Asus MB u can go into Bios and Disable Armoury from auto Installing

  • I do not have AI suite is that the old version of Armory crate? I do have Asus Armory crate, Asus Game First VI, and Asus GPUTweak II

  • I haven't had issues with AI Suite before. As mentioned, EA Anti Cheat seems to have a problem with it now -_-
