Firstly, I know this should be in the bug reports, but I never get replies when on that...

Anyway, I've suddenly just not been able to test game?
Whenever I have any kind of lighting in the game, it crashes my laptop and gives me the BSOD? (Blue screen of death - one of XP's many perks... )
It isn't a problem with my specs, it's worked perfectly for ages.
It isn't a mod - I've tried it WITH PB, and without it.
It isn't the setup of FPSC. Reinstalled it twice or three times.

What is going on?

Could be outdated drivers or some kind of conflict within them.
If you are on a laptop, do this, it always help me.
A friend of mine told me that the batteries store old cells (from when you charge, nearly goes flat, charge again), those leftover cells become outdated, or something like that.
Play your laptop flat, so its as dead as a doornail, then charge it back to 100% without turning it on at all. That resets those cells.
I cant remember fully, especially with the terms
But with my laptop, when it bluescreens alot (I average on 4-5 per week), I just do this, and it seams to go fine for the next few weeks.

Crosshair, for the contest, I probably will, but I have bought Project Blue, and it seems a waste to not use it. D:
Meh, I'll get to work on my level in 1.16 with Fenix Mod, but I still need this fixed. TiTaniUm - That's some pretty interesting stuff. I'll try the drivers first, then the batteries. Who knows? I might need to go back on to Vista... Though, in a lot of ways, I WOULD prefer that, backing everything up will be a pain.

You should write down the error the bluescreen shows then google it,usually a Windows reinstall fixes it,but might be buster RAM.

It's not the normal blue screen.
And it flashes for about half a second. I can't get a single word, let alone an entire page off of it in that time.

Ahh well, Mines exactly the same, I think..
Before the testgame goes, it flashes with a blank bluescreen for 2-3 seconds, before it launches into the game.

I'm always getting bluescreens
They range from PFN_List_Corrupt, to PageElement_found_on_NonPage, or something like that. I need a new computer

I'm on Vista Home Premium no, anyways.
And, erm... I don't think I'll have THIS problem, but can anyone fix this one? http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=180424&b=28
