I was playing ME3 today and my pc crashed completly after a vanguard charge( Twice).
Both times upon checking the error log I got : Kernel Error 41.
( I also got a PSU charge warning after booting it up after the first one, I manually turned it off and then on with the power button behind it tho)
Question is, Could it be the game doing this ?
Or does it seem more like a PSU issue ?
System Spec:
Win8
p8z77 Mobo
I7 3770
HD7950 Sapphire Vapox-X
128 SSD M4
2tb Seagate
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-550VX
Any ideas would be awesome
Hi demiansepticrux,
I think that you should visit the following site: http://forum.ea.com and click on ORIGIN ( right hand side) and once again under the sub category: Origin.
That site has a more up to date database on issues affecting the Origin Client.
You also should speak with a game advisor and for that you can go to https://help.ea.com and click on CONTACT US.
On a side note...I may be incorrect, but I do not think ME 3 plays nice with Windows 8. The article I placed below gives info on Windows 7/ Vista /8 Troubleshooting. Give it a glance if you wish...:robothappy:
Thanks for posting and good luck to you.
HOW TO CREATE A NEW ADMIN ACCOUNT
UPDATED: 5/21/2013
Creating a new administrator account is a useful step if you're experiencing issues launching or installing games, or if your games crash or freeze during play.
A new administrator account creates a new copy of the registry, making registry troubleshooting steps such as registry "cleaning" and manual uninstallation unnecessary.
Windows 8
- Navigate to the Control Panel.
- Select "User Accounts".
- Select "Manage User Accounts".
- Be advised: Non-administrators will need to provide admin credentials here.
- Click the "Add" button.
- Enter a name for the account and click the "Next" button.
- Select "Administrator".
- Click the "Finish" button.
Windows 7
- Click the Start button, then select the Control Panel.
- Select "User Accounts".
- Select "Manage User Accounts".
- Be advised: Non-administrators will need to provide admin credentials here.
- Click the "Add" button.
- Enter a name for the account and click the "Next" button.
- Select "Administrator".
- Click the "Finish" button.

Just to give "the other side"; I've been playing ME1/ME2/ME3 on Win8 Pro/64-bit for over a year now (including the "Consumer Preview".)
Have had the most trouble with ME1 (duh), and ME2 also goes CtD with annoying frequency. Have had NONE of those issues with ME3. 😕mileywink:
