Cweatherington Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 As the title says I'm getting a forced rest and/or a blue screen. I absolutely love the new app. It takes some work but after using MO and NMM for the last few years I think I'm working through most of my issues so far, with the exception of this one. It's not every time but almost every time I enable or disable a mod from a download it crashes. When I get the program back opened the mod is in the position I was trying to put it in before the crash. Example Enable - - BSOD/REBOOT - - reload and the item is enabled This is a really time consuming way to load items ðI've found I can reproduce this almost every time by having two things going at once. ExampleDownload from nexus especially if downloading more than one item (which is a whole other issue d/l speeds are horrible) and trying to enable items at the same time. This crashes it just about every time. I really appreciate what this program tries to do, it's a huge jump in the right direction. I normally would work through an issue (my background is programming /testing and implementation of computer hardware and software) but I thought it would be best to report this in case someone else might be having similar issues.

HardwareSc8 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Yikes. Haven't encountered that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazybob1 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Is your cpu overclocked? If so maybe try the program without the OC to see if it works. I have been using vortex and haven't seen this issue posted elsewhere. It may be a hardware issue on your end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cweatherington Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 Sorry to get back so late but I've been extremely computer busy. I know how important good troubleshooting is, so I've dedicated several of my computers to this issue to see if it's truly me or something causing the problem when the program is under a heavy load. I've completely wiped my system. I have latest drivers, steam, vortex and fallout 4. I also took a second machine and have done the same thing however the system is spec' ed differently. I'm thinking of adding a laptop too, I have several to choose from, just to check on a lower end system. I however am tired of looking at the monitor for the night so I'll start really testing in the morning. Lazybob1 thanks for putting on a hardware hunt. I made the mistake I see others make "well it was working before I installed it" that my friend is a dangerous path to tread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikatze13 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 what was the error code / bugcheck string on the BSOD? do you still have the crashdumps? i guess not, hence you wiped your system, which is a bummer. inb4 hardlinking bringing down pcs *shudder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardwareSc8 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I still think it's a hardware/configuration problem somewhere. I'm running Vortex on a (in tech terms) postively ancient PC that sustained a considerable amount of water damage several years ago, so it's not really very stable, but I haven't had any issues with the hardlinking or it causing BSODs. I even tried to replicate OP's situation, but even with 3-4 things happening concurrently, I haven't been able to recreate the results described. Which is unfortunate for the OP, as I can't really help debug the problem, but fortunate for other users who might not be as technically inclined or experienced...

Cweatherington Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 Well I have news. So far I have not gotten a complete reboot but I am receiving this followed by a hard lock of the program on 2 of the 3 computers I'm testing on. To recover I'm having to task manager close the app. I'm not sure the two are related but it's what I'm getting now. It occurs when trying to correct unsolved conflicts. This is repeatable on both desktop machines but the laptop doesn't see to have the problem so far. I maybe jumping the gun but I've been abusing vortex for several hours now without a BSOD so I think I might be out of the woods. It could have been something as simple as a bad driver, who knows. But I'll gladly take any suggestions on this new issue and thank you all for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardel Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I just want to say that BSOD happend to me today when I was simply downloading mods by Vortex. It was strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grestorn Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Blue Screens are *never* caused by a standard user application. Only broken drivers and other system level code can cause that. So if you experience blue screens out of the blue :smile: then your system is somehow broken. Maybe because of some broken software (driver, virus scanner, or even an actual virus) or because of a hardware failure. You need an expert to take care of your system. Either to reinstall it from scratch and/or to diagnose the hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
