Windows 10: randomly got BSOD while playing war thunder

so a few hours ago i got BSOD while just playing war thunder, and i have absolutely no idea why, this is the first time my current windows installation blue screened and i can't figure out what happened, there was no error code just the little smiley and the generic text you see, i also can't view the minidump file myself since it won't allow me and it says i need permission despite me being an admin.

:)

 

BSOD while playing War Thunder

Update

This issue is still not resolved and War Thunder still crashes from time to time after the clean install, however the crashes are rarer than previously. I think the issue might be with the game itself, I've read a number of threads about War Thunder having
issues with Ryzen CPUs. It could also be that my RAM or drives are at fault. I'll open up the laptop to check later today or tomorrow.

Even though I've tested the RAM and memtest says its fine.

 

BSOD while playing War Thunder

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate your effort on this. I understand that while playing War Thunder you receive a BSOD error.



I have analyzed the dump file and the MSINFO32 file shared by you. I suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned below and see if that makes any difference.



Method 1: Clean boot



You can boot the computer into a clean boot state, try playing War Thunder and check if the issue persists.



Performing a clean boot will start the computer with minimal set of drivers and programs, to determine whether a background program is causing the issue. Some of the Startup programs will not load after performing a clean boot on the computer.
However, that functionality will return when you reset the computer to start normally after finishing the troubleshooting.



To perform a clean boot on the computer refer to the article
How to perform a clean boot in Windows.



If performing a clean boot fixes the issue then, please refer to the section
How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot
to check which program is causing the issue.



Note: Please refer the section Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting
to boot the computer in to normal mode after troubleshooting.



Method 2: Updating BIOS



I see that the current BIOS version of your computer is of April 2019, there is a BIOS update for June available on the

HP website, you can try updating the BIOS and check if the issue persists. To update the BIOS I would suggest you to get in touch with the HP support and they will help you in updating the BIOS.



Note: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any
problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.



Let us know the results, we will be glad to help you further.



Regards,

BSOD while playing War Thunder

For two weeks now I've been having crashes on my laptop, usually these crashes result in a BSOD [CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT] error other times the laptop hangs and I'm forced to manually reboot. Surprisingly these BSODs only occur while playing War Thunder and
no other application, or game.

My Specs:

• Laptop: HP Envy x360 [HP Envy 15 121dx model]
• CPU: Ryzen 5 2500u
• GPU: Radeon Vega 8 Graphics
• RAM: 2x4GB @1200MHz [supplied by Samsung]
• Storage: 128GBSSD [Adata supplied] + 1TB HDD @5400RPM [Seagate supplied]

My Attempts

I've made several attempts to repair the BSODs without any success including:

• Updating all drivers including AMD drivers
• Upgrading Windows 10 to 1903 from 1803 and then updating all drivers again
• Reinstalling drivers after clean driver wipe
• Rolling back drivers a couple of versions
• Reinstalling Warthunder
• Running Warthunder in reduced graphics mode to reduce load
• Running Warthunder in 32bit
• Running Mem86 and Mem86+ intensive tests without any result

It should be noted that I'm not overclocking anything, not that I can anyway.

None of my attempts have yielded any progress, although on a probably unrelated note I have noticed improved performance on other games with new 1903 update. Still the crashes remain the same. If its worth noting the game only crashes when I join a battle
and select a vehicle, that is effectively also the time when the game loads.

I've attached a
link here to the Minidump and MSINFO32 files, hopefully someone can take a look at them and help me figure out what is going on. All help is appreciated, thank you.
