I have looked thru their fourms and found that alot of people are getting the BSOD also. We arnt getting much back from Funcom about the issue and i'm posting here to see if i can get some better insight about the BSOD. I have tryed a few fixes that were posted in the AoC fourms but i have had no success with them. Going to post PC stats below. Thx in advance!

Hey Curtis7e,

Here are the Details for BCCode: 101

Bug Check 0x101:
The CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT bug check has a value of 0x00000101. This indicates that an expected clock interrupt on a secondary processor, in a multi-processor system, was not received within the allocated interval.

Cause
The specified processor is not processing. Typically, this occurs when the processor is nonresponsive or is deadlocked.

I think one of your processor cores is malfunctioning/dead or the game is HardLocking the processor...I will find some CPU testing programs for you later today to check the processor for faults.

Thx for the fast response Steven. I look forword to being able to test my CPU to find out if its a bad CPU or if the game might be hardlocking the processor. I would like to know about this hardlocking of the processor so i could maybe pass the info along to some of my friends that are having the same issue as me. Thx again!

The HardLocking issue is caused by "something" over-loading the CPU and causing it to fail and can be caused by overclocking or malfunctioning programs.

Heres two CPU testing programs to try...Let me know the results of each

I have ran the first one and here is a screenshot of the results. How long did you want me to run the 2nd test?

As long as you are at the machine but not too long, The idea is to see if it causes the crash on the core again, otherwise its the game itself crashing your comp..

I have been here talking to a friend over steam and the test has been running for about 15 to 20 mins and i have not crashed. Did the results from the first test tell you anything?
