faulting module ntdll.dll CTD

[MALLIMOOSH]

OK, for a while now, Ive been CTD every time I play Oblivion. Sometimes I get to play a while, save, fast travel, explore. Most times it crashes within seconds of starting. Anyway this is the error:

 

 

Faulting application Oblivion.exe version 1.2.0.416

 

faulting module ntdll.dll version 6.0.6002.18005

 

exception code 0x0000005

 

fault offset 0x00066796

 

processID 0x144c

 

Process ID is always different but usually in the low 100's (114c, 142c)

 

Unfortunately everytime I look up the PID its not there, Im using process explorer to look it up. Is there a free

program like event viewer that will include the process name in the error message?

 

Anyone have trouble with this? I found that MANY programs use ntdll.dll, at least 70 on my comp.

 

Also I have run run "sfc /scannow"- found no problems

 

Thank you!

Just an update:

 

My Oblivion.exe was 3gb enabled- I tried the original .exe and Ive been playing fine so far... just a little laggy. It would be nice to use more RAM tho-

 

Perhaps it was crashing because it used too much RAM.... if this is the case, could I bcdedit to a lesser value than Userva=2900? (thats where mine is at).

 

maybe 2400? I have 4gb installed, 3581MB under task manager.

 

Thanks!

OK

 

After continued tooling I find that I still get the ntdll.dll crash, it just takes longer. I tried reverting to the default bcdedit userva settings and it crashed just as the game screen came up.
