Suddenly Blue Screen while only playing POE1 on Windows11

No worries, good luck with your issue !
Having the exact same issue here too

Ryzen 9 Series 9950X
Nvidia 5090 GFX
Windows 11 24H2

Getting very similar Crash Dumps ... doesn't seem connected to anything specific I'm doing in PoE but I've done the following

1. RAM tests removing all slots + Mem test = no issue
2. Cinebench tests = no issues
3. Updated all drivers
4. Updated Bios
5. Removed GPU drivers with DDU Safe Mode and reverted to earlier versions

I'm getting the same MiniDump issue caused by PoE

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: 0000000002c49040, The page frame number
Arg3: ffffd77a3536cda8, The prototype PTE
Arg4: dd0878a543e004c0, The prototype PTE contents

I think I'm having the same problem. I'm running an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X and an Nvidia Geforce 4080 Super. 64 GB of ram that I've had no issues with before. The bluescreen is only happening while playing PoE.

The game runs for 2 dyas without errors with my below test environment.

The hardware is still kept in the same as the first post.
AMD Ryzen 9 9950x
nVidia Geforce RTX 4080 Super
64 GB RAM

GPU Driver has been up to date.
[changed] Game Ready 576.80

POE running configures [PoE1 3.26.0c]
Full Windows mode + 3840x2160
DirectX12
Vsync: Locked
[changed] Upscale Mode: nvidia DLSS --> Bilinear

And now I have plaed POE1 for this weekend for 3 days.
It runs well.

Not sure if this issue got fixed.
Keeping monitoring this.

Ok... it is not fixed.
I still meet this blue screen while playing POE1 and watching Twitch stream in another monitor with full screen mode.
OK so no Rhyme or reason to it at the moment.

I just powered up my PC after it being show down for over 12 hours.


Loaded up usual apps : discord, chrome and PoE .... did a map ... all ok . Went to do a trade and got a BSOD

Temps hadn't even gone up on PC.

I'd love to assist in getting this resolved GGG
The exact same error as described in this post continues to happen daily for me. Using all the latest drivers and have done extensive memory and load tests without any issues. Running Ryzen 9 9950X CPU and RTX 5080 GPU.
My latest minidump files those are caused by POE.

070925-10140-01.dmp
070825-9359-01.dmp
070725-9531-01.dmp
070425-9578-01.dmp
062825-9312-01.dmp

The frequency is almost one or two times per everyday.

PoE, a nice game, fun league and absolutely with BAD program quality.

And GGG still don't know how to fix it and no response even though we can assist to reproduce it.

The memory corruption seems to happen by the time as long as you're playing.

And I don't turn off my desktop all day until this bad game crashed and enter the blue screen.


I managed to go a few days without this happening in the last week and assumed in one of last weeks 'fixed a client crash' patches that this was solve, but no , its still happening and now happening 2 -3 times a day now in a 6hr session
I dont have anything new to add other than it's still happening several times a day, still exclusively while playing path of exile.

Still willing to share dump files should anyone at GGG have any interest in looking into this problem.
