Hello guys, I have this terrible problem.
Before this week maintenance, everything was fine, I was playing a bit everyday, smooth and sweet.
But, after this week maintenance, and the regular "weekly update", my game stopped working, but not just that, it comes with a STOP type BSOD.
I dont understand whats going on, other games run fine, programs CPU-heavy runs fine, everything is ok, but not this game ;_;

Here's how it happens: I start the launcher, the regular filecheck occurs (it last a few seconds, the progress bar appears, and dissappears, like always.)
Then, on the launcher, where the main buttons are, I press the big Play button, like always, and then:
Gameguard checks my pc (i think) for hacks, as usual...and the little PSO2 image stays there for a bit longer, dissappears, and before the black screen of "loading" appears, and then the Sega logos etc, it crashes with a BSOD.

What ive tried as of now:
1.- Do a file check with the client
2.- Do a file check with AIDA's tweaker
3.- Move PSO2 folder (it worked las time i had a problem with the game, not updating correctly)
4.- Update my video card drivers
5.- Restore the system to the last day of play
6.- Cry and get mad because my login stamp record is ruined, also, no FUN for 2 days right now...


Any ideas? if it's useful, my shitty system specs:
Intel Core 2 duo @2GHz, 4GB of RAM, Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS (yes its a laptop, and yes i somehow run the game with a small resolution at 27FPS, with regular drops, but it's "stable"). I have a 300GB HDD, with 10GB of free space.

Help ;_;

New info:
During Safe Mode, I could analyze most of my apps, the only one giving me problems is pso2.exe
I forgot to mention, I use Win Vista 64bit. This is the info of the error window in safe mode (in spanish, sorry about that)

Ill try to reinstall the game later on, currently downloading the client someone posted a few days ago (wich is ~12GB and is almost up to date [I think it's the last version of the game that i was able to play {before this week maintenance}])

EDIT: Reinstallation did nothing, BSOD still appearing...sigh I wonder what's wrong

Have you tried defragmenting your hard drive? Sometimes I'll get BSOD when starting up PSO2 but after a quick defrag everything's working fine.

Also, did your computer install any updates prior to you having issues?

Update: after many days and nights of doing almost everything I was able to do, I just reformated my laptop. Now it has windows 8 and...well, no more bsod buuuuut...no GG present. I think there was a GG folder right? well it doesnt appear on the installation folder. So, the game cant launch, because GG isnt here. What can I do? (inb4 switch over to Win7...)

UPDATE2: Solved, GG magically appeared out of nowhere and everything is fine again :3 THE END

I just got hit with my first bsop playing this game. 80+ hours in without an issue and BAM! What is this black magic?

I get bsoded at random when starting PSO2, i just let it pass and go on reboot up PSO2 again since its bound to happen due to GG.

I had a BSOD on booting that I solved by refreshing Windows, but it is better to run system file check (run the command line as administrator, type SFC /scannow) and follow the directions when getting any major error, especially now that everything is hidden behind windows for plebians mode.
