Getting BSOD when running dragon age origins character creator zodisk Nov 4th, 09, 08:07 AM #1 (permalink)
Hey guys, I've been getting the BSOD (blue screen of death) when I run Dragon Age Origins character creator recently and I'm not sure why.

I've over-ruled over clocking as a factor since I still get the error despite having switched back to stock speeds. Furthermore, I didn't even over clock my VGA at all. I've even turned off crossfire and reduced all the anti aliasing settings and other graphic components but to no avail.

Previously, the program did run but nothing showed up on my screen. When I started task manager I saw an error which says "doesn't support video card". I'm stumped as I fit all the system requirements for Dragon Age origins. Can some one please tell me what's going on? (though I have a faint inkling on the answer already) I hope this doesn't mean I can't play the full game once it's out!

PS: I'm running Windows 7. ( My rig is only a month old)

You installed the Catalyst drivers for windows 7 right? Or Windows XP? It's different.
