BSOD upon launch of SA:MP Servers

[GladyGlados]

I think the problem is the graphics.

Check Can You Run it for GTA SA.
You may have the video memory but integrated graphics don't have the required pixel shaders etc.
Perhaps it gives the bsod because of excessive load on the integrated GPU.

Jesus H Christ. I have had this laptop for 3-4 years and it is my main "Gaming" rig and has Pixel Shaders 4.0 (According to CYRI) and it is quite a powerful laptop for its age and I have played argo on it for nearly 2 years now so dont go saying its underpowerd I run it in windows classic mode just to save GPU power

and Saying this I know im going to the extreme BUT i do have teamviewer installed if any admins wish to help

[GladyGlados]

Please guys i need help i really dont wanna try launching the game again

Is your laptop heating excessively?
Install some software and check GPU and CPU temps.
It.might be possible your hardware is heating up excessively. Motherboard including.

The process at fault is dwm.exe (Desktop Window Manager), it's responsible for Aero Effects, and we all know: GTA SA + Aero = nope.

Try ending the dwm.exe process from the task manager (it will shut down aero effects till you restart the process or your PC), and if that itself doesn't cause a BSOD, try running the game.

I assume the problem is fixed now as you haven't replied here recently, but just in case you still need help -

99 times out of 100 a BSOD is the result of either faulty hardware or a driver problem. Google the error code that is displayed on the BSOD to diagnose the problem.

I'd also suggest running a diagnostics on your hardware. Most HDD manufacturers provide diagnostic tools for their HDD's on their website, which checks the SMART status of the HDD. It might also be useful to run a scan for bad sectors. The program files and swap file may be compromised if it tries to read/write on a bad sector, ultimately causing the system to crash.

If everything is fine with your HDD, assuming you don't use a ssd. Then you should check the memory for errors.
Windows 7 provides a memory diagnostic tool which can be found at:
Control Panel -> System and Security -> Administrative Tools -> Windows Memory Diagnostic

It has nothing to do with drivers or temperature, all you need to do is disable Windows Aero look(or theme) (dwm.exe <) by Right Clicking properties on the windows (task)bar.
Image bellow:

Make sure the last option is un-ticked.

I believe it's a fault of DWM since whenever Windows notice that a program/game is running on full-screen, there's automatically a process that will change the way DWM runs, in order to give priority on the process/program running instead of DWM.

Other than that, please provide us, with a CPU-Z Export diag link.
BSOD 90% comes out when there are memory faults, which mostly happens by RAM being synchronized, or running at a wrong speed.

Since Pentium B940 which is an Q1-2011 model comes with an integrated GPU clocked at 650Mhz, I see a big fault if system reserves ONLY 128mb for it, check your bios settings and see if you can increase the memory being used by GPU, setting it atleast 256 or 512mb, this is one more thing to solve this problem.

2 months ago that I was running i5 4330, it had Intel HD4000 integrated, I tried launching GTA:SA back then and utterly failed because the BIOS had allocated only 64mb on the GPU, after I set it on 1GB, though I had 3GB left for the OS, but I had no problem with any game.

Did you ever get this issue fixed?

My BIOS does not support it

Now to the topic itself; What have you tried / what suggestions did you try that was made in this topic? It's quite hard to try to give you any advise if you do not say what you have tried to do in order to solve the problem, if anything. Hell, you didn't even answer the question if your problem was solved or not.
