Suddenly Blue Screen while only playing POE1 on Windows11

3rd time of blue screen.

No Wall Paper Engine, and no OBS studio are running.

Only watching a Twitch stream on Chrome and executing POE.

I just let POE hanging there and watch Twitch.

The mouse focus is even not in POE. And still blue screen.

It is really annoying.

PFN_LIST_CORRUPT (4e)
Typically caused by drivers passing bad memory descriptor lists (ie: calling
MmUnlockPages twice with the same list, etc). If a kernel debugger is
available get the stack trace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000006, The hardware PTE and/or the prototype PTE PFN data structures have
been corrupted.
Arg2: 0000000000c941d0, The page frame number
Arg3: fffff3135956aef8, The prototype PTE
Arg4: d38f34ebaab004c0, The prototype PTE contents

same issue here
PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
Arg 1: 0x06

9950X3D
RTX 5090
using DX12, with 576.52 driver

beside the BSOD
nvlddmkm event 153 error also occur sometime

test passed:
msi kombustor, furmark: 1 hour+
memtest86 (4 pass)
MHwild benchmark

trying 576.80 after DDU and DX11 now
update if there's anything new or stabled
I have also been having this issue, only in POE1. Hundreds of hours in other games and 3D software with no incident.

9900X3D
RTX 5080
Usually running Vulcan, but I have tried DX11 and DX12 and it makes no difference.



I have done just about everything I can find through google, including but not limited to

- memory tests, both windows native and memtest86 4 pass, both of them ran on the RAM sticks separately and together
- disabled EXPO (XMP)
- updated BIOS
- Would update chipset drivers but I am on latest already
- SFC scan
- DISM cleanups
- checked health of main and secondary drives
- used DDU to roll back GPU driver to 576.02 (what I ran before I started playing poe again/experiencing these issues)
- have tried running nothing at all other than poe

Still getting the same BSOD. I'm at my wit's end
I'm not as tech-savy (well, more that I'm being lazy right now because i've just gone through last year going through 4 brand new pcs with INTEL issues. I'm fatigued on PC issues) but I'm also running into the same error. everything else was working perfectly up to POE launch and suddenly have had this happen 5 times (thought I fixed it as I had a 2-day period without issue, but it came back from what I thought may have caused it)

AMD-9 9950x, 4090. Was on most recent game-ready driver pre-league but now updating to 567.80 (doubt this will do anything from seeing what others have said)

only things running have been Chrome (it did it once without it open though), PoE Lurker / Awakened trade (I've also had these not running once and had it happen).

Still getting the same BSOD. I'm at my wit's end

Have you tried running PoE in Linux ?

I have not. I have never been a linux kind of guy so I don't really know what your question entails exactly. I don't know what that would serve to achieve or how I would go about doing that

Either way I'm much more interested in solving the issue than working around it, if that's what you're suggesting
Sure, though depending on what the actual cause is, this might take a while...
You're the one saying that you were « at my wit's end ».

It might solve your issue and/or make it more clear if that's an issue with those specific drivers and/or your hardware.

SteamOS isn't quite officially back to 'desktop' PCs yet, but we do have Bazzite (Fedora Linux) that makes the whole process decently easy enough.

The main issue is : do you have a spare, empty hard drive (hopefully SSD) that you can put inside your PC (SATA or hopefully M.2 connectors) ?

For a first time it's better to keep things as simple as possible :

- only have one hard drive in during any OS installation
(no sharing of OSes in a single drive on different partitions).

- later selecting the drive you use either by physically changing them, or by picking the starting one in the 'BIOS' (UEFI)
(not using on-hard-drive-located GRUB that big Windows updates love to overwrite).

(Also you need a spare, empty USB key to install the OS from.)
Exact same issue here on a 9950x and RTX4070, matching crash dumps.

Tests with Cinebench R23, Furmark, MemTest86, all fine on my system. No crashes on other games but very consistent BSODs with specifically PoE1.

Just today I think I've had 4-5 system crashes with PoE1 specifically, no other game I've tested with has caused this.
I'm getting the same issue with same error codes and people posting here.

My pc is brand new, and only experienced crashes on POE1.

I've updated graphics drivers, chipset drivers, bios updated and still crashing

Running the following hardware
9950X3D
Rtx 5080
64gb 6k ram
Msi mag 870 tomahawk mobo

Will be trying other games tomorrow to see if it's specific to path of exile 1

Right, apologies if I came across as dismissive, that was not the intention. I just didnt quite understand why you were suggesting what you did.

I don't have a free drive on hand, but I might look into setting this up if the problem persists. Thanks for the explanation!
