Had a Blue Screen of Death After AnyStream Crashed

[Phillip WNY]

Was capturing a few movies and TV shows from Hulu and I came back to see the program had a crash message. I believe it claimed it would now open an Explorer window, presumably for some sort of log, but when I cleared the message, got a Blue Screen of Death related to memory and my machine rebooted.

Attached is my log file. Not sure if it had a chance to save the relevant info, but here goes.

Did you have a chance to take a picture of the BSOD? There might be useful information inside.
I'm not sure, but you are the first reporting a Blue Screen, I don't think it's much related to AnyStream

FYI, it's supposed to be impossible for user-space programs like AnyStream to cause BSODs.

That doesn't mean it is impossible, but if it happens it's technically a bug in either Windows or a Windows driver, and a pretty serious one at that.

All of which is to say, this probably isn't a bug in AnyStream.

AnyStream cannot cause a BSOD. Its never happened.

I too would think it is highly unlikely AS caused a BSOD. I would just chalk it up to a one off unless it continues to happen. Although if it did i would blame failing hardware before AS.

Since AS was about to show you a dump file (meaning it had a problem), and then you even got a blue screen I think your RAM might have been full or something. I also had some dump files already, but never a Blue Screen (for many years, if I ever had one it was a long time ago). However, for AS, I have a new PC with recent hardware and the one before was not bad either.
If you have an older PC, like my laptop, it might struggle, although even on that 10-year old laptop AS was of course slow, but I never had any problems beside that (but I only used it for a short period of time there).

So I think, unless you get more Blue Screens when using AS, you don't have to worry about it.

You should take look in your windows history. Alle mistakes are saved here with a Code like 0ff12345 or so. This code can be tested by google search for it's vallue. So you can see what causes your problem. May be a bad driver or defective hardware. I'm pretty sure you'll find this.

Right click on your computer icon (If you are with win10) Selecct administration and than event display/windows events for system or application etc.
You will get a window like this information:


With a click on "details" you´ll get a code a like this: {2593F8B9-4EAF-457C-B68A-50F6B8EA6B54} for your google search.

@Phillip WNY Kufo has given you excellent advice on how to find the issue of your BSOD. I would do this immediately because you could do damage to your computer if you do not fix this.

Exactly what I meant @RedFox 1

Notices are sometimes shown when you shut down Windows with an error. If you see warning signs there are important issues marked out. This can happen if you shut down Windows by pressing the power button. If you are not sure with the code ore the shown message, please contact me.
