Blue screen twice today while playing factorio

Post by AboutTime »

Hello,

I have been playing factorio today (314 hours according to steam) and have never once blue screened. However today it has happened twice. One time had spotify and factorio open. The second time was only factorio.

I run windows 10 v1607, OS build 14393.1358 on a dell xps 15 2550 with i76700 and gtx 960m..

I am playing factorio 0.15.25, I don't believe factorio updated to .26 before the second crash..

In both cases, i was not doing anything particularly crazy in factorio, mostly just running around or placing belts. I am not sure what else to add to this report but i have also added screenshots of each blue screen:

Bluescreens indicate a hardware problem or a driver problem. Neither of which Factorio can cause.

You can start by testing your memory - since that's probably the easiest: http://www.memtest.org/

After that would be checking the minidump files created to see what they say is causing the problem.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

I will give this a shot. Wasn't sure if it was an issue with the latest factorio updates or not.

Cheers!
