i have just recently started playing chronicles of spellborn, but im finding it very stressful, because at certain parts in the game, like say i interact with an object which spawn another object, and sometimes random spots, but always the same spots, i get the BSOD stop error 0x0000008E (0xC0000005.... and it references igxpdv32.dll, i have tried updating my gfx card, running the game in low gfx un installing and reinstalling the driver, and nothing has worked.

Hello Sir_Grey

Welcome to G2G! My name is Oreo Collas and I'll be helping today. Please be sure that you print or copy all of the instructions to a document on your desktop as many of the directions may require you to log into Safe Mode or unhook your internet connection.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please make sure to read through all the directions and make sure that you understand them completly before doing any thing. If there is something that you do not unsderstand then let me know and I will elaborate. Skipping steps, working out of order, or working ahead of the directions may cause undesireable results.

First of all, I'd like to check if there is possibly another program interfearing with your game.

1) Click on your start button (Usually at the lower left corner.)
2) Select "Run" (If you do not have that option let me know and I'll walk you through how to get it to show up.)
3) Type in "msconfig" (Without the quotes (").) and hit "enter"
4) Click the radio button next to "Selective Startup"
5) Select the tab at the top lables "Startup"
6) Uncheck all of the boxes there except for the ones relating to your firewall and your virus protection software. (If you're not sure what those are then let me know what software you are useing to protect yourself.)
7) Click "OK"
8) You will get a pop up asking you if you want to reboot. Reboot now.

Start your game and see if you get the same error.

Try running in safe mode.

1)Turn on your computer
2)After the BIOS screen goes away start hitting F8
3)You should get a list of startup options. Select Safe mode.
4)Try to run your game now. Don't be alarmed if your game does not run. Some games may not run in safe mode.

no, it has to run gameguard, and gameguard runs into an error is safe mode. its not that the game gets BSOD all the time, but only in certain areas during certain events, like i can play for four hours, but if i interact with an object and say it spawns a ghost npc ill get BSOD, or sometimes its just areas in the game, the BSOD that pops up says to try disabling bios options like shading and caching but i dont know if it would help or not, should i try updating the bios? if so how do i do it. if this wont work, whats your next step you want me to try? :)

Are you useing a GeForce FX graphics card? I've seen people have this problem with that card. Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. Let me know if that works.

Alright. Download Memtest86 from my signature and remove all the RAM from your computer except for one RAM stick. Run the test about 5 times. If it all check out good then swap the RAM and run the same test about five times again. Repeat this for each stick of RAM that you have in your computer. Let me know if all your RAM checks out alright and if you get any errors.

I am sorry, but I am out of ideas as to what might be causing this for you. The only other thing I can think of is a possible malware infection, but I see no evidence that is is or is not. I will see if I gan get someone else to assist you with this issue.
