SWTOR exitting itself

So, this is a new strain of CTD I've been experiencing ever since the "optimisation" patch. This is what happens:

I play SWTOR normally just minding my own business, doing story missions etc(nothing large scale mind you)-mostly solo stuff. And then out of a sudden the game looks like it missed a bit or skipped a bit or had a brain fart. It mini freezes itself(for some 1-2 seconds) and then it exits itself. Just like that. Windows doesn't say "SWTOR has stopped working" or anything to that effect. The game just exits itself. It does that at random intervals anywhere I might find myself-it happened on Corruscant, on Belsavis, on Voss, on both fleets, on DK, on Taris(Rep) etc. So, it's not localised.

I've tried scanning memory and doing the HDD check and everything is fine. I've even done AV scan, everything's fine.

So...what am I supposed to do? I don't want to play SWTOR in constant terror due to a possibility of a crash. Yet I want to play it so badly. PLEASE HELP!

    memory being dumped is what occurs on a blue screen , this is what bluescreen view and what crashed me read to try and ascertain a cause.

    If it was a memory leak on the game it would affect every person running the game

    I wanted to view the dump file, but I don't know how. I got the Windows debugging tools, but I really don't know what to do with them.

  • Further, here's a .dmp file read out for you to analyze:

    Best thing to do initially is test the memory i'm afraid

    normally 5 to 6 test passes is what is recommended

    use either www.memtest86.com or www.memtest.org

    Edit - have linked one similar thread at Microsoft for you


    I already did that and got errors. The differing number of errors based upon a scan(first like 400 in 3 hours then 75 in 8,5 hours)-but all were clustered around the 6th Gigabyte(6-6,15 range to be exact).

    I even dusted the computer, but I know what I need to do. Eh...if it keeps auto exitting itself even AFTER I install the new memory...EA will hear from me.

    @Cuiwe

    If errors are appearing your memory sticks are faulty hence memory errors

    looks like you proved the cause

    Idk, it can still be a MoBo socket failure or something online(like...TeliaSonera-the gamer's nightmare :D).  We'll see after I get my new RAM aftter KoTFE for sure...

    For now, it is RAM failure.
