Hi. My question. I had a crash in Metro Exodus after 20 hours ,during exiting to MAIN MENU. Black screen,crash to desktop and unexpected reboot.

Why system rebooted after the crash? It happened once. Before reboot file appeared: --> PoW32kwatchdog.dmp

But i found this in windows/livekernelreports/PoW32kwatchdog.dmp <======== ( 1,8GB )

"a callout to win32k did not return promptly" windbg read




I tested other games no single issue. Memtest86 no errors,ramtest fine.realbench ok

Is my ram ok?

Did you memtest one module at a time? If both pass they should be fine.

After 21 hours when i click Exit to main menu in Metro Exodus it crashed to desktop, after black screen, there was an circle instead of arrow,and i was not unable to do anything. So i make CTRL ALT DELETE logged from system and logged back in again, and then reboot happened. Can you explain me why?
Just logging again to system something messed up.



I checked event logs: There was KERNEL 41,no bugcheck. But only file was created. C:/windows/livekernelreports/pow32kwatchdog.dmp



Memtest86,Ramtest no errors. All passing fine. Including Realbench etdc
