ME1 keeps blue-screening

Hello,
   I haven't played ME1 in a year, and recently came back to finish it off in preparation for ME2. However, when I open my save (I'm on a planet surface of a side-planet... I think it's name was Theres or Terres) I can play for a bit then suddenly my screen will freeze (though I can alt-tab out, and the game will eventually unfreeze). However, after three or four freezes my computer blue-screens, and says the error is from my display.dll driver. However, I've kept my graphics card up to date, and I have not had any problems with any other game (not even much of a problem with the Dragon Age memory leak issue outside of loading).

I'm thoroughly stumped. I was going to try erasing my character and start fresh to see if that fixes the issue, but I would really not want to lose 16 hours of work if I can avoid it. I downloaded ME1 from Steam and haven't had any issues with it until I tried playing it now (IIRC Iast time I played it was before Pinnacle Station came out, so I'm unsure if the bugs I've been hearing about have anything to do with it).

Specs:
AMD X2 3.2 gHz processor
2 gig DDR2 ram
1028 MB NVidia 9800 GTX
Regular onboard sound card.
Game is played in 1680 x 1050 resolution.

I'd appreciate any help.

thats odd, i don't know the fix, but things i'd try is, lowering the ingame settings like sound & graphics. do you have a anti virus running? maybe a new one since you last played, it could be scanning files that ME1 is using?

and lastly backup your save and re download from steam.



hope you figure it out :0

The only suggestion I have is to use old drivers... nVidia's 174.74 or 175.19. If you were playing ME without any issues before though, with that same card and whatever drivers you have currently installed... well, that won't be much use to you.

First, try to validate the game cache, then re-download drivers. Also, run an AV scan with malwarebytes antimalware from malwarebytes.org.



Also, go to ccleaner.com and download ccleaner. Run the registry cleaner/fixer, back up when prompted, and then accept all changes. Report back your findings :)

I completely forgot about CCleaner. I ran it.... and came upon 857 registry issues. >_>



I finished cleaning them and am going to validate the game cache then try the game out, so wish me luck!

Ok, so I updated my drivers again (this time I completely uninstalled the drivers, used CCleaner, THEN installed them), and then realized that I had Rivatuner running (from when I had a Radeon card ages ago) when it alerted that it was incompatible with my card.

I deleted that and it stopped the game from freezing in two minutes, but after only an hour or two of play the game freezes. It doesn't blue-screen my computer, but if the freeze is prolonged then eventually I can't exit out of the game and have to reset my computer anyways. The game is playable now but it's still infuriating for this to happen, especially right before saving after half an hour of doing stuff (which has happened a few times already). I don't want have to play this game in constant fear of it crashing eventually

Anyone have any idea on what to do?
