BSOD well into the game. Offending file was "ati2cqag.dll". Offense was "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA".
No new crash file from that time.
XP SP3 32-bit, 3gb ram. ATI 5670 512mb 10.6 drivers. 1920 x 1080.
When I reloaded the last autosave save game it crashed when I got to about the same point. No dump file this time either. Not a bsod, just Windows saying it had encountered problems.
Event viewer said (the 2nd time) "Faulting application elemental.exe, version 0.8.0.5, faulting module msvcr80.dll, version 8.0.50727.4053, fault address 0x00008aa0"
(nothing like that when I got the BSOD)
Page fault in nonpaged area BSODs typically indicate bad RAM, HDD corruption, or cache failures.
Try uninstalling, totally cleaning off the driver, rebooting, then reinstalling your driver.
I had this problem in Demigod with my nVidia card, but the problem was a driver issue. I change driver versions and had no problems.
Also, is your card overclocked? Perhaps it's clocked too high. I've had the problem too. My card is factory OC'd, but when I tried to push it even further, I'd get blue screens once in a while in games.
