There was a lot of articles on Google about this, here's one of the guides but there's a lot of other stuff available too.

EDIT: When was your last BIOS update and what BIOS are you currently on?
(Latest is 2003 via http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=P7P55D+LE&p=1&s=32 )

 

my latest bios is 2003.
and i have look at google to help but their is so many.

 

Hmm then it's not as easy as I thought, if it's CPU related it's hopefully something that can be resolved but if it simply triggers from elsewhere such as GPU drivers or even the OS itself then it could be quite difficult to troubleshoot.

Hopefully though it's not a hardware error.
(Speaking about that have you tried lowering the CPU overclock and/or any voltage increase? It's probably not that though if it's just a single game and only during certain conditions.)

 

101 usually means you need more Vcore

 

i recently had that kind of issue and i visited my bios and changed RAM TIMING from TURBO to NORMAL and i have no issue for now.

 

@JonasBeckman
tried that. but maybe i have to reset bios settings and try again
@Mr.Bigtime
have to look on bios

thanks for this. ill report if the error occured again

EDIT: also this is only game that do this kind of a thing. other games played perfectly on multiplayer

 

Almost certainly a HW issue, but if you have an OC, aggressive RAM timings, or overheating, you can cause this to pop up even if the HW itself is perfectly fine.

So check temps and double check any OC settings. If the BSOD doesn't happen again, it might be a one off. [Had one myself a few weeks back; hasn't reoccured even under the harshest stress tests I've thrown at it].

 

i havent OC nothing. temps are low and also this crash happens only with punkbuster server on.

punkbuster off servers. no crash.
singleplayer no crash.

so....wtf
