Total Overdose - Total Crash [RESOLVED]

[darkblackcorner]

Ok, I recently started playing Total Overdose, great game,runs fine, etc. The problem is that upon quitting the game, it crashes, windows blue-screens and I have to restart.

Any suggestions?

Go to Control Panel > System > Advanced tab > Startup & Recovery Settings button and disable 'Automatically restart' under System Failure, then reboot and play the game again. Post back with the blue screen error message in full, including all errors and stop codes. This will give us a better idea where to look for the cause of the problem.

What are your system specs (motherboard, graphics, PSU, etc)?

Ok here's everything in order. After clicking quit, I get a message telling me the program has crashed, and including the following error signature:

Error Signature
AppName: tod.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: ntdll.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 000182fd

I then click Don't Send, and another crash occurs showing the following blue screen:

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

If this is the first time you have seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software.
Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup options, and then select Safe Mode.

There's no way to recover from this, so I reboot, and a message appears to say Windows has recovered from an error, and includes the following signature:

did you update any drivers just before this started happening?

[koala]

Do you have SP2 and all the MS updates installed?

This is usually a driver problem. Uninstall your current Omega and try the official Nvidia driver.

[Dirty_Al]

Omega does not have the best drivers for Nvidia. Recommendations would be to stick with Nvidia drivers.

[pharoah]

yeah it would probably be better to use the regular nvidia drivers.omega drivers are great for ati cards,but not the best for nvidia.

Yey! That worked, thanks for the help :)
