Summary: System crash(blue death screen) when returning form fullscreen
Product: SDL Reporter: Andrzej J. <ajacak>
Component: *don't know*Assignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>

Description Andrzej J. 2008-02-21 03:21:29 UTC 
Every time I close an app that is in fullscreen, blue death screen apears and system reboots. 
My PC configuration: 
AMD64 4000+
RAM 2x Kingston 256 400Mhz + 1x Twinmos 512
Graph: PCIE GF7600 (Leadtek PX7600GT TDH extreme) (probably this is causing?) 
Mainborad: Gigabyte Nforce4 SLI

Even if the app is qute simple like the sample in documentation. (SDL Library Documentation Published v1.2.0, April 2001)

If this is still valid, it would be interesting to have some more details. When a bluescreen occurs, you usually get a stop-code - and you're told which module caused the crash.

Since SDL runs in userspace and not kernelspace, it should not cause the BSOD - but its behaviour may trigger an error in a kernel-module which causes the crash.

Is the module/driver mentioned in the BSOD up to date?

Resolving as video driver bug, not SDL bug.
