Today is the first time i got the BSOD, before that every time I tried to launch the game after an update or a patch i had to desintall and reinstall the whole game again. This has happend twice already. Only managed to play the tutorial once since the game was released and thats all I have been able to play. The rest of the time it has been errors and frustration for paying 60 euros for this. I've tried running the game on 2 different computers. One with a 7850 and the other with dual 7950's. First the the cross fire setup, my regular gaming rig I managed to play the tutorial without noticing any issues. The second time i ran Simcity it stopped working, had to reinstall and tried again. This second time I installed again errors, Simcity stopped working, and when it did work between those errors I got a alot of graphical issues in the main screen, and other times it would directly BSOD and then I would have to shut down the computer with the button. I have no issues with other games like starcraft, crisis 2 and 3, call of duty, metro 2033, etc.. all at the highest settings using 99% of both gpus. No temperature issues since my computer is water cooled (motherboard, cpu and graphics cards) and runs at máximum 30ºC on max load. Hardware never has been an issue in any other software except with Simcity
So I tried installing Simcity on my other rig which i use for low graphical required games and web surfing, this rig is working with a single 7850 slightly overclocked and didn't give any graphical issues in the main screen, I haven't tried playing yet and have only loaded the game once, but it loaded ok not like in my other rig. If you are experincing BSOD reply, you are not alone. Simcity is full of major bugs and should have been released only when they where fixed.
What a dissapointment.

Seems to happen to people with AMD the most. I have contacted AMD and they were like "nope. nothing with our drivers. must be ea" but EA says it is their drivers or our "faulty" hardware.

It can't be an AMD or Nividia driver problem as both cards have the problem (even if more people with AMD have the problem). It is a problem with Simcity im 100% sure.
Try turning everything in setting down to as low as it can go and see if that helps?

Hey! At least I get Dead Space 3 for free! That is pretty cool! Still want this fixed though!
