    Death Screen
Click For Summary
The user experienced repeated blue screen of death (BSOD) errors while playing Morrowind Tribunal, specifically related to the ialmdev5.dll file. The system specifications include Windows XP Media Center Edition, a Pentium 4 CPU, and 504 MB of RAM. The errors suggest potential issues with video drivers or physical RAM, particularly since Morrowind is not a demanding game. Recommendations included checking for the latest game patches, updating video drivers, and running diagnostics using tools like dxdiag and chkdsk. The user was advised to uninstall existing drivers before installing new ones to avoid conflicts. Additionally, a memory test was suggested to rule out RAM issues. After following the troubleshooting steps, the user reported a temporary resolution with several hours of gameplay without crashes, but later experienced a recurrence of issues, raising concerns about outdated drivers.

Since I can't find edit/delete button, I'll have to double posts.

You might be a bit upset and what not, but I started to get the same thing again, except the time interval between staring the game and the crash is much bigger. Can it happen because my drivers are out-of-date? My newly created topic has more info. Link just in case: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=237261
