Hello everyone.
I am looking for any help in trying to figure out what’s going on with my game.
Recently (I think it started with the move to steam or a patch or two after that) my game has started to randomly freeze and BSOD my computer with error CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED
I would blame this to faulty drivers or even hardware, but the issue only happens with Destiny 2. My girlfriend plays Overwatch on my computer without any issues at all and I did not have this issue when Destiny 2 was in Battle.net
I have also run benchmarks to see if the crash happens, but I have not been able to reproduce the crash with 3DMark, Uniengine or Prime95.
I've tried looking for information about the BSOD error but most of the troubleshooting leads me to:
- Checking event viewer: I did but is not showing any errors or information which might tell me what is causing the crash.
- Checking the dump/minidump: I would BUT one of the errors in the event viewer is that the dump could not be created…
- chkdsk, sfc /scannow, DISM: All were fine
- Updating drivers: everything is up to date
- Updating BIOS: did that, not fixed.
- Removing any overclock: set everything to their default values. Issue continues.
- Checking hardware: Tried playing with one stick of ram, then 2, then 4 again. The game still randomly crashes.
- Windows fresh install: Went ahead and did that, I completely formatted all drives BUT my storage drive since that only contains media and whatnot. I even installed destiny on a different SSD drive. Currently I have not installed anything but the required drivers, Steam and Battlenet but the issue persists.
