Windows 10: BSOD only when playing CS2

Built this pc 2-3 weeks ago. BSOD only happens when I am playing CS2. No blue screens on other games. CPU 70~ 5900X, GPU 85~ GT630 for now when playing. Sometimes it just turns off without even displaying a blue screen. Error code is Whea Uncorrectable. Event viewer says Kernel Power ID 41, keywords 70368744177664,2. Playing at the lowest possible settings with mininum resolution and getting 40fps due to the GPU if this info helps.Minidump: https://we.tl/t-bxQ2c3qwBG

Ctrl+w doesnt work for cs2

Hi, Jackson Soska

Welcome to the MicroSoft Community.



If Ctrl + W does not work for CS2 even after trying a new keyboard and ensuring that Toggle Keys, Sticky Keys, and Filter Keys are off, there are a few other things you can try:

• Remap the Ctrl + W keybind: You can try remapping the Ctrl + W keybind to a different key combination in CS2. To do this, follow these steps:
  
  1. Open CS2 and go to the Options menu.
     
  2. Click on the “Keyboard/Mouse” tab.
     
  3. Find the “Toggle Weapon” keybind and click on the “Change” button.
     
  4. Press the new key combination that you want to use for the Toggle Weapon keybind.
     
  5. Click on the “OK” button to save your changes.
     
• Verify the integrity of the game files: It is possible that some of the game files for CS2 have become corrupted. You can verify the integrity of the game files through Steam by following these steps:
  
  1. Open Steam and go to your Library.
     
  2. Right-click on CS2 and select “Properties.”
     
  3. Click on the “Local Files” tab.
     
  4. Click on the “Verify integrity of game files…” button.
     

Steam will then scan the game files for CS2 and replace any corrupted files that it finds.

• Update your graphics drivers: Outdated graphics drivers can sometimes cause problems with games. To update your graphics drivers, follow these steps:
  
  • For NVIDIA graphics cards:
    
    • Go to the NVIDIA website and download the latest drivers for your graphics card.
      
    • Once the drivers have been downloaded, run the installation program and follow the on-screen instructions.
      
  • For AMD graphics cards:
    
    • Go to the AMD website and download the latest drivers for your graphics card.
      
    • Once the drivers have been downloaded, run the installation program and follow the on-screen instructions.
      
• Reinstall CS2: If none of the above steps work, you can try reinstalling CS2. To reinstall CS2, follow these steps:
  
  1. Uninstall CS2 from your computer.
     
  2. Delete the CS2 folder from your Steam directory.
     
  3. Restart your computer.
     
  4. Reinstall CS2 from Steam.
     

If there is anything not clear or I can't understand your problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Adobe Photoshop CS2 - Incompatible with W10?

I tried to install my trusty CS2 into W10 in a VM but it didn't want to play, CS3 on the other hand installed without a hitch. I was just wondering if anyone had successfully installed CS2 in W10 yet? Or even tried?
