Random BSoD

[1993matias]

Hi everybody,

I have just resolved my last bug, but now a new one appears

Randomly while playing, a blue-screen (fatal system error) appears. It is only while playing CiM, so I'm sure that's the cause. I had dev-mode turned on (=cheats), but then I turned it off. in both configurations it crashes.

I have played CiM before with this exact computer configuration, but I had this computer reformatted somewhere during spring. And I've played a lot of CiM (great game btw), also after reformatting - three hours straight - but this error appears after just one, max two hours of play.

I hope you can help me with this one!

BSOD is caused by hardware problems, windows update and driver error. A software will not cause it.
Try updating your drivers. Read the BSOD, it should say what caused the crash.

Thanks for your answer. I did not experience this BSoD before CiM, and only while playing CiM. The BSoD screen doesn't provide details, and the codes is just 0's like this:
00000000x0000000000000
I don't think that is a specific error. My computer has an "integrated" graphics card called Intel HD graphics, but I've tried everything and it won't switch over to my AMD Radeon 6650M 2GB super duper graphics card. All my drivers are up to date.

Maybe you need to switch it in BIOS.
If you are not using a notebook might be better to leave it with Radeon always.
