Re: BSOD playing BF2042

I updated everything manually from the gigabytes website. I removed one slot of ram and since then I am no longer getting the Clock_Watchdog_Timeout. Now I am getting Machine_Check_Exception

I also found this in the event viewer when I received the BSOD:

Faulting application name: GNSSsdFwD.exe, version: 24.6.19.1, time stamp: 0xc8642558
Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 10.0.22621.3958, time stamp: 0xfbc3a4f6

Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\KERNELBASE.dll

I searched for the file GNSSsdFwD.exe online but could not find anything. Gigabytes replied to me at last so I sent them this last update.

@Froztd  i found this.

quote:
GNSSsdFwD.exe is an executable file developed by GIGA-BYTE TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. and is associated with the app "GNSSsdFwD". This file is part of the software package provided by GIGA-BYTE for their products, and is designed to update or manage the firmware for GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) devices

I wonder what hardware/software ya got installed.
I got the Gigabyte Aorus z690 ultra ddr5, but cannot find (yet) any software/driver for this GNSSsdFwD.exe.

Maybe it is an memory issue , or faulty memory that brings this issue up.
I dont no, but good to read Gigabyte and you are investigating this issue !!!

Keep us up to date please , thanks.

Cheers

ps tha file adres/location,  its a tool to update SSD firmware
C:\Program Files\GIGABYTE\GBTSsdFirmwareUpdate\GNSSsdFwD.exe

I had a Gigabyte z690 also and i think its better that you use Gigabyte Control Center Apps to update everything, but maybe Gigabyte already told you.

It gonna do a full check of your Gigabyte product.

The App Center is the old one, did you try Gigabyte Control Center? I have fully delete App Center since 1 year at least.

More gigabyte fault to have a lot of name for this!

Sorry that i didn't help, i also have bluescreen since last update mostly everytime i close it but Hypervisor_Error.

Virtualisation was already Enabled in bios, Hyper Threading in auto. 

I did not just update bios to F29, it's been few month i am using it. I check it really often.

It was working fine until last BF update.

Two years that i play BF2042 like an addict, the only problem i had was with audio interface that has been corrected by EA in 5 months.

Regards,

edit: when i look into the minidump files of the bsod it was pointing to ea anticheat.

Probably something with the windows level security upgrade with lastest windows security or something like that.

Yes it's what i say since the beginning, its just there last update..

But you know when i had this there was no topic about it so you do the basics.

But you right i will not lose anymore time, reinstall windows or flash and reset my bios motherboard that will make it vulnerable if you dont have the last update bios.

There is no interrest from EA in this thread also.

Hello everyone!After a recent update the game won't open for me.It says that my game files are corupted and the game can't read them.Tried repairing/uninstaling/pc restart and also deleted all the files from documents for BF2042.Im using PC to play on.Never had this problem with the game untill now.How can I fix this?Anyone knows?

@Rokebo73I never had any heat issues with my specs , using a very well "air flowed" be quiet! Dark Base and iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Cooler never went above 70-73c in heavy usage games.

I had crashing issues with UE5 games all the time that's why i started tweaking , never had any BSOD's but I went the PL1 and Pl2 route @ 253 aswell and kept my clocks at x54 no issues since and no i won't bother getting their micro-code for the same settings I manually put in myself.

I won't waste anymore time tweaking this CPU , have 2 more years of warranty and I will sell this little t.urd next year and go with 15th gen hopefully will iron out all these issues , this gen was a nightmare and i want to erase it from my memory.

Anyway never had so many issues with a game in my life as I had with BF 2042.

Hopefully the next BF will we catered way better.
