My future practice is built around those kind of recouped plaintiff's attorneys' fees. God bless them.

But what about the wallpapers...

So over the weekend, Battlefield V has begun randomly crashing and rebooting my computer.

The Event Viewer and Reliability History don't have any obvious errors, other than the computer unexpectedly restarted without shutdown etc.

My son played several other games (Apex, Fortnite, Roblox, and Overwatch) for HOURS over the weekend without issue.

I play 1-2 hours of BFV it just reboots without warning. In game FPS is good, and there is a little stuttering occasionally, especially in the new battle royale game mode.

BIOS is updated, drivers are up-to-date (sound and GPU). Windows is updated to 1809 (but was doing the rebooting with the previous build of Win 10).

Temps are well within operating range (although I admit not looking at them when the computer reboots). No other games are doing this.

Can anyone decipher a DirectX log?

Here's the error diagnostic section:

I managed about 3 hours of play last night before rebooting, right as I was getting ready to quit for the night. I guess that's progress? I've seen plenty of games crashing to desktop, I don't think I've seen one reboot a PC completely.

Did Windows Update run in the background while you were playing? The first few errors point to that. The final one references Windows Defender. Do those logs have time stamps that you can match up to crashes?

There are a few things that you can try:

Disable Windows Defender while you play
Disable Windows Update while you play
Disable background apps from running
Try Windows 10 Game Mode: https://www.pcworld.com/article/3187171 ... times.html

That other games are working fine leads me to believe that it’s just BF5. A quick search turned up way too many posts from people with similar issues as you and no clear resolution.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Nothing else seems to trigger it, but the game has run very well for me up to this point. There was a large patch early last week, so a new bug was introduced more than likely.

You could take it a few steps further and enable full dump logs (assuming that the crash would be captured), but reading them after the fact isn’t for the standard user. I could do it for you, but the dump could be fairly large in size. Up to you if you want to give that a try.

Yeah dg66. Dump those logs

Ok, I have full dump logs enabled...

It's 15.6 GBs (!). I'll upload it to drive. Do I need to do anything to permissions of that file? I can't even open on my PC.

Oh dear god, are you serious?! What settings are you using?

Unchecking "Automatically restart" may be worthwhile, depending on whether or not anything was captured. Either way, no, you don't have to do anything outside of upload the log. Definitely compress them into a zip folder or something.

It was the exact same settings as your screenshot. I'll get another dmp tonight. The one last night...disappeared.

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2019 7:14 am**

There are some tasks that clean up old dumps. Once you get the dump, right-click on it and select "Send to -> Compressed (zipped) folder" and move it to a new directory. Then you can delete the original.

You **** jinxed me, DG. Got to work to find my box in a BSOD loop and wound up having to rebuild the entire thing from scratch. I’m nowhere near finished, too.

Sympathy dump.

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2019 3:50 pm**

If the windows opened at work, I’d have thrown the entire god damn thing out of it.

Rip in piece

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2019 4:11 pm**

It’s not even the reinstalling of all apps that annoys me, but the heavy configuration and modification **** that I have to go through again to get it the way I want it.

Posted: **Wed Apr 03, 2019 8:29 pm**

Sorry man.

I've been testing for a few hours tonight, and it hasn't done it yet. For some reason my GPU was downclocking itself way below stock speeds, so I used clockblocker to keep the speed where it's supposed to. Things have been stable, so far.

I'm a good computer user. But I don't really get networks to any meaningful degree. So I'm looking for help without trying to do any research on my own...

I have the like a 4000 megabit or 2000 megabit or some kind of pretty diesel connection from Comcast (snore...), but I never connect at more than 100 mbps...I get that high traffic times and blah blah blah...

My question is how can I be sure I'm maximizing my hardware? I don't need 2.1 billion gigabits to do what I do on the internet...I just want to make sure I'm doing it fairly right.

I have a SB6141 Motorola modem, it runs into some Netgear router. I'm not sure what else is necessary or we can even figure it out via text...is there something I can do (firmware? Is that a word?) that will squeeze a little more out of my connection? Or would I have to buy new hardware or some annoying ish...?

Thanks and God Bless...

Your Netgear router may be the bottleneck. The 6141 supports ~350mb internet, so you should be good there unless you have 500mb/1gb internet. If you can find your Netgear router model, I can probably let you know for sure.

Netgear is WNR1000

Posted: **Sat Apr 20, 2019 4:27 pm**

It came out when Gibbons was on the Pens...

Posted: **Sat Apr 20, 2019 4:41 pm**

I used a Windows 98SE desktop until like 2007 or so...the fact that I remember Gibbons tells me that I have the latest, greatest technology...

You have the Simon of routers
