Windows 10: Event 162 : Volmgr - Blue screen when playing games after new upgrade to Intel 12th Gen CPU

RichardWood_582 · Apr 4, 2022

Hi, I have recently upgraded my computer to an Intel 12th Generation CPU, and since the upgrade when playing games my computer will freeze up and restart with no BSOD. The last time this has happened it blue screened and I have a memory dump file. I am unsure what to do with it, but I have attached it below. I have also listed my old and new specs. This was not happening before I upgrade my system.I also have used a fresh install of windows 11 to see if this fixed the issue, however it did not. Any help would be appreciated.Also I tried new ram, swapping from 16GB to 32GB, but with both sizes

Why DRM Crashes Games on 12th Gen Intel Processors

Summary
Temporary workaround for games with DRM software that can’t recognize 12th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor, causing games to crash or not load.

Description
Certain third-party gaming Digital Rights Management (DRM) software may incorrectly recognize 12th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors efficient-cores (E-cores) as another system. This prevents games implementing that DRM software from running successfully. Games may crash during launch or gameplay, or unexpectedly shut down.

Resolution
A software fix has been identified by the vendor of the affected DRM software and is being rolled out. Intel is working to accelerate this process as well. See the list of known affected games.

In addition, a workaround has been found to allow for games to launch and be played. The reference implementation for a Legacy Game Compatibility Mode will allow a user to dynamically place E-cores on standby when playing games.

Workaround steps for end-users to enable Legacy Game Compatibility Mode with affected games that have not received a software fix:

Power-up system and enter system BIOS setup.

Enable switch Legacy Game Compatibility Mode to ON (one-time only) in BIOS.

Save BIOS setup changes and exit.

Boot to OS.

Toggle Keyboard Scroll Lock key ON.

Launch affected game title.

Toggle Keyboard Scroll Lock key OFF after ending game title.
