So this is a puzzling one..
Shortly after downloading/moving/copying or renaming the bg3 offline installers I start getting BSODs (The copmuter ran into a problem and needs to restart).
After restart I have a few minutes in the OS (win10 64bit) before the machine restarts again.
If I open the folder containing the offline installers the restart happens almost instantly.
If it happens too requently I get a message that windows needs to run fisk check, or an error that the BIOOS cannot find a bootable drive. This goes away after a power-off.
It is not the disk. I ran the checks and there are no problems. I can handle much bigger files without problems. It is only the bg3 files....
It is not the memory. MEMTEST does not show anomalies.
It is not the antivirus. I only use windows defender, and I turned it off with no change.
If there is any other occult bloatware from microsfot or otherwise that keeps checking the files and might cause the crash I would very much like to know.
It only happens with the bg3 files, and if I delete them the problems go away.
Can a king soul shed some light on the problem?
Are the files cursed?
EDIT: Never mind. Found the culprit. It's unrelated to GOG or bg3
