Unity 5 causes windows 8 to blue screen?
I recently updated my project to Unity 5 and started playing with new lightmapper and tools and I also started to encounter unexpected Blue Screens with KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED or SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION while baking lightmaps or simply doing something in editor. With Unity 4.6.x I haven't had any problems like that, did any one has same problems? I have the Unity 5.0.0p3.
Use BlueScreenView or Windows Debugger or any other similar program to give us more info on your BSOD, alternatively upload somewhere your dump file (.dmp) and give a link.
Here are all dumps of BSOD's which occured while using U5: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bynv55aACDzWNXoxUURPRHVWZXc/view?usp=sharing
Well that's going to be tough one - all BSODs do seems mostly irrelevant:
1)hal.dll+17325 and ntoskrnl.exe+59769
2)ntoskrnl.exe+59769 and win32k.sys+3d03e
3)dxgmms1.sys+26853
4)ksthunk.sys+18aa3160 and ntoskrnl.exe+1da0a5
I'm definitely not an expert in BSODs but it seems like something hardware related, I'd advise you to check your drive for errors as well as RA$$anonymous$$. If everything is O$$anonymous$$ then it'd be better to ask $$anonymous$$icrosoft with link to dump files.
Hmm, maybe it does indeed have to do with hardware, maybe overheating while lightmapping is an issue... although today it BSOD'd while tweaking an Audio Source options which is weird, anyway, thx for help :)
Well it might as well be some sort of rootkit on your machine, but I'd expect BSODs to be constant then not like what you can see above. But in any case it won't be bad to scan those with some anti-rootkit software as well. Get some software to read your drive/RA$$anonymous$$ temperature if you think it might be the case (use search engine), but I doubt it. And np.

I had something similar to your problem with a new pc, I fixed simply uninstalling the i5 integrated graphics drivers and having only the Nvidia drivers installed. Try to uninstall all unused drivers and probably will fix the blue screen.
I know the answer is so late, but can be useful for someone else.
