HI all. I did a search and didn't see anything in the 4 pages for this BSOD issue.
I'm trying to fix my stepfathers Civ 4 game. Everything he has in terms of games works fine. No issues with anything other then Civ 4 and the expansions. I have his computer here at my house and of course I forgot the CD. So I downloaded steam since I have all the games/expansions on my steam account and logged in using my info. Using the steam version I knew it would be updated to the latest and I figured that would limit a possible solution right off the bat.
So, anyways I can play for 2 minutes, an hour, or 30 minutes(the expansions react the same way). It seems completely random. When it crashes it goes straight to the Blue screen of death. He's running XP and has no errors showing on BSOD. SO i go into the event viewer and I get these two logs..
