    Alright so this has happened twice already while playing P.A. I looked up the driver in question (mijxfilt.sys) and it seems to be attributed to xbox controllers/motionjoy.

    This only occurs while playing PA and I just wanted some more input on this. Is this a case of correlation=/=causation and my PC is crashing because PA just happens to be a very intensive game?

    I do use motionjoy controllers however they've never been connected when these crashes have occurred. I can post a full PC diag later when I'm at the problem computer but I'd like some general input until then.


    I really love PA so I'd also like to make sure the problem isn't derived from it.


    Thanks.

    Can you add an attachment of your dxdiag so people can try help you. Thanks.

    Edit: finished reading your post. Sorry, hard to help until you post dxdiag.

    DXDiag is definitely the first step. BSOD can only really be caused by something with kernel access - such as a driver.

    And based on that screen, it is the MotionJoy driver that's causing the crash. I'm not sure what a motionjoy controller is, though, so I can't provide much more detail. Attached or not though, if there is management software running for it, you might want to shut it off.

    I had a friend with bad RAM get BSODs all the time until he replaced it, due to the large amount of RAM PA uses that might be an issue too

    Yup, faulty ram can lead to the problem as well. But the crash in the BSOD above is explicitly occurring inside of the drivers for motionjoy.

    Not that I know if you will care but MotionInJoy drivers are to use ps3 controllers on a PC, I use it all the time and never had any problems

    Well, yes. I care. :) it bothers me when something suddenly starts crashing. But I'm inclined to think thus is a system problem, not a game problem.

    I didn't mean it how I think you took it, what I meant was I didn't know if you cared what the drivers are for. And yes, I agree that this is a system problem
