Every time I try to run crysis, when i launch it in steam it crahses instantly and all I get is a black screen.
Mobo: msi 990fx-gd80
gpu: EVGA 660ti
cpu: fx-8350
what could be causing this. Ive tried re-installing multiple times but to no avail.
BSOD = Blue Screen of Death. That means Windows has crashed, not just a specific program. If you're getting BSODs while loading a game, you have a pretty unstable OC. If you aren't OCing, some other hardware component is likely unstable.
i would first say, try a diffrent game. to dettermine if its either the game, or something with the computer it self.
ive tried it much before i overclocked anything on a 9500 gt and it gave the same results on a dx 10 compliant card.
run the game in dx9 mode
forced it to run dx9, crashed to desktop like usual.
and i also tried re-installing directX that didn't work either.
