Windows 10 BSOD in Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (2003) - Graphics Driver & DirectX Issues

Question

Witam, Sprawa wygląda następująco: znajomy namówił mnie na powrót do gry z przed lat: Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory(2003 r.). Problem polega na tym, że po kilkunastu/kilkudziesięciu minutach, system wyrzuca BSOD jak poniżej: Z pliku .dmp (jak i z internetów) da się wyczytać, że chodzi o sterownik...

It's your PC and I will say that such a PSU can damage the electronics, give the link, maybe you have not seen it and change your mind Black list of power supplies and renowned power supply brands Hardware Check how the power supply works under load, and more precisely its voltage on individual lines + 12V, + 5V, 3.3V. The power supply should meet certain voltage and fluctuation norms, as regards voltage standards, please visit Elektod at the Department - Computers - How to measure voltage with a meter? Voltage norms on individual lines. Software The reason for the appearance of BSOD may be several eg. One is to delete * .dll files from the library (files are related) to the system which happens frequently, the second option is top, e.g., incompatibility of files with new WIN7 / 8/10 systems Help can be properly compatible with Windows by choosing a game file with the extension *. exe PM> properties> Compatibility tab and select the appropriate system.

If you know best, why do you ask for help? Did you take measurements? Have you checked the state of the capacitors on the board, card and power supply?

@ kiss39 & @_robert_ B I take care of my equipment at the software and hardware level. For more than 20 years, the only parts that have failed were 2 graphics cards and 1x HDD. I dealt with the soft majority mostly alone or with the help of others. The number of famous C formats: , throughout this period, it is on the fingers of one hand. If something is wrong, and considering the power supply that I have - I always check the voltage - they are all normal from the beginning. The motherboard - due to its age, is also observed for capacitors, as well as for other possible damage. The answer is simple: in this case, I simply know better, because before writing the thread I checked all the voltage of the power supply, I looked at the motherboard, I did SMART, RAM, load GPU \ CPU tests and in no case did I receive disturbing results. So I exclude the problem with hardware and the topic I founded in the software department, hoping that there will be someone who could have a similar problem or someone who has knowledge of how to solve my problem. @ kiss39 The compatibility mode was the first thing I checked - unfortunately it does not make a difference - BSOD occurs.

And such information should be included in the opening post, because no one here is a fortune teller to know what you have done and what knowledge you have about it. Since the problem concerns only one game, the reason may be a prosaic damage to one of its files. Voltage from the power supply is not everything. The reason may be pins, which you will not measure with a multimeter. The oscilloscope or substitute of the power supply remains hardware.

- SZPILKI, so these are these fluctuations, for example (from 12.18V to 12.23V) I associate well?

Robert B · Answer

These are not voltage fluctuations. Stilts or voltage peaks are short-lived and sharp. Not measurable with a multimeter and in poor power supplies can exceed the admissible values several times. They cause, at best, disruptions in the operation of the motherboard and other components, and in the worst case, their permanent damage.

You bet too little. I watched on an oscilloscope with values over 18V on the 12V line and over 9V on the 5V line.
Measurements that the author has no idea about.

I do not know if I am carefully measuring the voltage from my XFX TS 550 Watt, but it was such a difference: nothing happens to the PC.

- on the desktop, 12.15V and 0.00V
- under stress: 12.25V and 0.001V

Robert B · Answer

A meter or program? Voltage must not deviate by more than ? 5% The pins can not be any.

kiss39 · Answer

I checked the multimeter. When I have time, I will check the voltage again and record the results. As the voltage will vary a lot, I will ask Support XFX what they think about it.

Solution: I managed to deal with the problem - of course, as I suspected in 99.9999%, knowing the symptoms and describing them here - it was about soft, and more specifically about the return to the older graphics card drivers + DirectX re-installation. Offtopic at the end: I observe this forum for several years and I am always amused by people like p. Robert B. who with technical-electrical engineering or other professions are diligently looking for a problem in the intentional part of the PC power supply. I do not deny that it is not one of the most important parts, but a heavy one ... y n ... y - if all signs clearly indicate first on the need to verify the software: * .dmp file, * description of the problem by the author; It's hard for people to push nonsense about the power supply !? You have problems with the graphics card - check it (drivers, temperature, replace with another one, etc.). You have problems with the disk - make SMART, temperature, check in another computer, remap, etc. If after all other treatments there is still a problem - then you go to the power supply / motherboard ... Why complicate your life? Well, pity - I think I hurried up with this thread, but although others will find a solution here ... And if not, they will buy a new power supply.
