no this was a BSOD on windows 7, so it wouldn't have had time. it sucks but shit happens. my own fault. It's a recurring problem I've nailed down to either a driver conflict error or something in AE that doesn't like some piece of hardware or running service.
- The BSOD says "BAD POOL HEADER" - probably from some software trying to address the same piece of memory address space twice
- I don't get any crash logs
- it only happens when trying to render in AE. I thought it was the overclock or a RAM issue but prime95 running at full load for 8 hours seems to have proved otherwise
- When I reinstalled AE CC it worked fine again for a while, then it just started again
- I created a new windows user profile and so far rendering seems fine in the new profile, but I will have to reconfigure a lot of stuff
- gonna run chkdsk and memtest86 overnight to make sure there's no hardware issues
- backed up all critical drives anyway
Any other bright ideas welcome. for now I'm working on my backup machine
