Hi Guys,

I was playing Crysis Warhead.Then suddenly my screen gone blank & the BSOD
dump screen is shown up with memory dump countdown timer....& machine restarted....

Then after re-boot...I again started crysis..then after the last level cutscene...
again the machine restarted itself....(but no Blue screen this time)....it all happened on sunday....I thought some file is corrupt in game so turned-off the machine...

Then On Monday when is started the machine.....it denied to start..all fans were working properly...monitor was off & HDD & DVD writer LEDs were blinking with 1sec gap.....I dont know what happend....then I kept the machine as it is...then suddenly after 2~3mins the machine started automatically....& I completed the remaining levels of Crysis Warhead finally
without any crash.

So,cud anybody tell me what all had happened???...I dnt wanna face this issue anymore....

Can the game not being a legit copy be reason???

haven't u read my last lines...even i thought the files may be corrupt but game was perfectly ok....coz it ran smoothly @ last....

its a technical problem related to either Graphics Card/RAM/PSU????

I'll have 2 figure it out whats the reason for this error...

It also happens when some game files are corrupt...everytime your game crashes or windows get restarts due to those crashes...they may corrupt some of the files too.

I know this fact...but the problem is something else coz the game ran smoothly where i got the BSOD.....


@asingh: how long it took for u to complete the memtest?

I got the reason for the problem it was my 2GB RAM.....
one of it is corrupted now & I've sent the RAM for RMA to corsair...but it will take 15days to get the replacement done....& their service center is in bangalore....

but the good thing is I've 10yrs of warranty on my RAM :)
