BSOD on Windows, Crash and Reboot on OSX

Post by Jarsil »

Hi,

I'm trying Macs Fan Control on my late 2011 MBP (no retina) with AMD+Intel GPUs.

I've experienced the following situation: when using MFC on windows, while playing games (3d games like Elite Dangerous), I suddenly get a Blue screen of death, the temperature however is not so high - after 4 years i can tell by touching my mac over the keyboard and know if it is too hot).

Before installing MFC on OSX I could play the same game in OSX version for hours without problems, while I tried today with MFC installed and running, and for the first time in a long interval, my OSX got stuck with the "An error occurred" message and I had to reboot it.

I don't know which kind of debug informations I can give in order to understand the problem.

The system is running on OSX 10.11.1 and Windows 7 SP1 on the bootcamp partition, I have an SSD drive for OSX and an HDD with bootcamp partition using the DVD slot. 16GB ram.

Thanks in advance for any answer.

Hello,

What made you think that MFC is responsible for the BSOD? Uninstall it, and try playing games again. Then install it again.
It will take some to test, I suppose.

BTW there should be the name of the driver in the blue screen that causes crash.
