    BSOD on windows 8 while playing Deus Ex Human Revolution

    I have installed Deus Ex Human Revolution on windows 8 . I did not had any issue in installing it however while playing it via steam I get a blue screen error saying “bad_pool_caller”. What might be wrong? I haven’t received the same error anytime on windows 7. It seems as if Deus Ex Human Revolution is not compatible with windows 8?

    Before I suggest you anything, answer my below questions so that I can have better idea of the issue you are going through.

    Is your system up to date with recommended windows update installed?
    Have you installed latest driver for components like graphic card, sound card, chipset etc?
    Do you get BSOD for any other game?
    When exactly you get BSOD??
    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game?

    Yes my system is up to date with update installed?
    I had installed latest driver for graphic card, sound card and other hardware’s before installing the game
    No I don’t get any BOSD for any other game. Is specific to Deus Ex Human Revolution
    Some times I get that BSOD just after playing the game for 10 minutes and sometimes I get it after an hour. There is no specific time for it to occur.
    Yes I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game. By now I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game 5 times but no luck.

    Let me know if there is anything that I can try out further???

    These are the actions that can help you prevent the above error:
    1. Install and update your device drivers
    2. Scan your computer for viruses
    3. Check your hard disk for errors

    Since you have mentioned that you have updated your device drivers. You can go ahead with scanning and disk checking. You can refer to this Check your hard disk for errors article for checking your disk for errors.

    I run scan daily and I have run a through scan just now. My avast free dint came up with any warnings and suspicious virus or malware. I’ll go through the above article and will check out my hard disk for errors.

    Hey I was getting exactly the same error while playing counter strike on windows 7. I had tried out all of the solution mentioned above but none of them had made any difference in my case. My hard disk was good as well, later I updated my bios and load it to default settings and viola!! No more BSOD. In case your hard disk pass the test and doesn’t come up with any error then you can try updating the BIOS.
