ASE freeze with CPU 100% and IO 0%

Hi,
I have a production ASE server using 30 CPU's that's is "freezing" several times in the last week (requiring an machine reboot) and from the last sysmon taken we see that the first 4 cpu are 100% with IO 0%.
Engine Busy Utilization        CPU Busy   I/O Busy       Idle
    Engine 0                      100.0 %      0.0 %      0.0 %
    Engine 1                      100.0 %      0.0 %      0.0 %
    Engine 2                      100.0 %      0.0 %      0.0 %
    Engine 3                      100.0 %      0.0 %      0.0 %
    Engine 4                      100.0 %      0.0 %      0.0 %
    Engine 5                       44.5 %     19.7 %     35.8 %
    Engine 6                       62.4 %     24.7 %     12.9 %
From SysWaits we see that event 29 (waiting for regular buffer read to complete) is high when we experience this problem.
No change was reported and the users and saying the system to be in the overall slower in the last weeks.
The version is the old 12.5.4 with the latest patch available and the OS is HP-UX.The machine has 256Gb of memory.
As anyone experienced a behavior like this?
Thanks

Hi Ricardo
I have seen this when underlying storage changed from raw SAN devices to NAS file system devices.
tempdb writes after a certain amount of volume queued up in a serial way choking the whole server.
This may or may not be what is happening on your server.
Having said that : If this is not something new then what was the last change in your case ?
Especially related to storage
Wait event 29 is related to storage and I/O.

Mavericks freezing with spinning symbol and strange screen after forcing restart

Hi,
My Mac has freezed (or almost that) and showed the spinning symbol (in gray). I couldn't use, so I forced the restart.
After that, I've received a strange screen that I've never seen in my life, with a folder and a "?" inside it:
I noticed that the freeze happened exactly at the same time my Internet connection got lost, because my Apple TV has also stopped (but not freezed).
I've been experiencing problems with Mavericks since the begining ( https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5836640 ), and I'm seriously considering downgranding to ML.
I'll appreciate any help on this. Thank you so much.

Startup screen freezes with vertical lines and a restart message

So this problem just started a couple of days ago it seems to be getting worse. Occasionally it will start-up but not often and at the moment it won't, I just keep getting this screen on start-up: http://www.flickr.com/photos/42697060@N04/3933706005/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/42697060@N04/3934486754/
Not sure if this is the same problem people are having with the video card or not. Thanks for the help!

I'm getting the same look, with all kinds of squares and lines on screen, although mine starts while the computer is running with color reversals and lines on the working space. Then I get a freeze and have to do a hard re-start with the power button, and finally, what you're seeing. I did notice that when I unplugged the power adaptor, the problem has gone away, at least for the past 30 minutes or so.
I originally thought it was overheating, since if I shut it down and left it, it would re-start normally after 15 minutes, but crash again in 10 minutes of running. Then I came here, and read about the video card. That could be, but why only when plugged into the power adaptor? The power adaptor has been acting up lately, in that the light is sometimes off, sometimes amber when screen shows 100%, like that.
I'll plug back and in and see what happens, and put it here. 4:53 PM Saturday.
I'll keep fooling around with it, and report back here. I'll also make an appointment for next week with the nearest Apple store - 1.5 hour drive. Grrrr. I'm home with the flu this weekend. I'm tempted to go now and shake everyone's hand.

Viewing on external monitor with ADVC-100 and s video

I am trying to view my canvas on a external monitor. I have a canopus ADVC-100 and i am using the firewire input and the s video as the output in the back. When I try to set it up and i select view all frames, but when i go to the video output menu it says my firewire device is missing. Any hints or tips on what i am doing wrong. I am using the s-video because the monitor only has a components input available, the RCA's are already occupied.

Is the ADVC powered? When you connect firewire to the back of the unit, it gets powered by that connector, but the firewire jack on the front is only 4-pin and doesn't support power.
If you have a 6-pin to 6-pin firewire cable, try connecting it to the back of the ADVC110 and then the front of the box should light up, indicating power.
I'm having a similar issue. I can print to tape via the Canopus box, but I want to be able to drive a monitor with it just so I can have an NTSC monitor while I'm editing. I can't seem to make it work. Any ideas?

MSI K9A2CF-F freezes with MSI NX8400GT and NX8500GT

Hi, all
I've a brand new mainboard K9A2CF-F with an AMD Phenom 9500 and a NX8400GR video card. Windows is running fine but when using 3D the machine freezes, sometimes it also freezes with 2D activities. Today I changed the card for a NX8500GT-TD512Eh but I've got the same problem. When I put a Ge-force 6200 in my computer the machine runs fine but this card is pretty slow.
Things I did, reinstalled windows, latest updates, latest nvidia driver, bios upgrade to v1.2, vga bios was allready the latest, changes psu with a heavier one.
Now i've got the vga card in the second pcie slot and strange enough the computer is running now for almost 30 minutes. Maybe is it something with running at 16x. But what could this be that the machine crashes at 16x?

Can it be the PSU? It's now running the whole evening in the PCIe 8x slot without any crash. Is it consuming more power when running at 16x speed bus?
First tested PSU is an Mtek 350Watt.
3V = 14A
5V = 30A
12V = 15A
The other one is an SumVision 400W
3.3V = 26A
5V = 30A
12V = 15A
They indeed have the same 12V current of 15A.
At the moment in the machine

Macbook Pro Freezes with Screen Distortion and other problems...

So I've had my 13' Macbook Pro for about 9 months and I am encountering problems with it. My Macbook would sometimes freeze at random and the screen would distort as well, also, the screen would react whenever I would move the laptop around by either reverting back to a normal screen (still frozen) or more distortion which leads me to believe that it might have something to do with the hardware. But all this is temporarily solved when I force shut off my laptop (hold the power button for 3 seconds) and restart it. It can start up again with no problem, but this happens again, more early than usual and becomes more consatnt. However this is lessened whenever I don't use my laptop for an extended amount of time, but it does happens again whenever I do use it for some time.
Another problem I've been encountering is that, at times after I force shut off the laptop, my computer would not turn back on. Instead, the laptop beeps 3 times, pause, then beep 3 times again. I have looked into this and discovered that this means that I have "No Good Banks"..........I have no idea what this means but I guess it means that I might have faulty RAM.
What I ask is that if anyone has had similar problems and if they know what to do or what exactly what the problem is so that I might be able to do something about it.
Info about Macbook:
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 4GB 1600 Mhz DDR3

Bump. Anyone have any ideas on this?
I "shut it off" last night, but when I turned it on again tomorrow, it turned out it didn't quite shut down?
It booted to the grey log-in screen, basically.
I've also come to the realisation that my charger isn't registered (the LED isn't orange/green like it usually is), and I can't get a "battery status" (I'm sure it has another name, I just don't know what it is) when I click on the little button on the left hand side of the laptop. Usually, it would show green dots/LEDS to tell me how far along it's charged, but now I get nothing.
I get the distinct feeling something's up with my battery, and maybe my RAM (because of the repeated triple beep after shutting down last night).

Help connect X-fi Elite Pro with DDTS-100 and Gigaworks s750

Hi,
I purchased a brand new Gigaworks s750 speakers system, DDTS-100 decoder and X-fi Elite Pro. I connected the DDTS-100 and Elite Pro using Optical Fibre output from the audio console of X-fi Elite Pro to the optical digital input of DDTS-100. With the cables supplied with s750, I connected it to the Decoder DDTS-100. The problem is I am not getting any sound from the rear speakers and the front speakers. Only the centre speakers and the side speakers are producing sound. I could hear loud hissing sound and very very low volume of the music from the front speakers and no sound from the rear speakers. I can hear good quality sound from the centre speakers and average quality sound from the side speakers. What could possibly have gone wrong with my setup ? Somebody please help me. Thanx in advance.

Hi Richie,
Thanq for your response. But unlike what you have mentioned, ("what may be happining is the soundcard is decoding the signal and then the ddts is trying to decode it with disatrous results"), In my setup the signal is not getting decoded two times, once by Soundcard and once by the DDTS-100. As I have mentioned that I am taking out an Optical Signal from the sound card to the DDTS-100, the signal comming out from the sound card to the DDTS is Encoded signal only. So there doesnt arise a chance that the signal is getting decoded twice. Can you think of any other reason why my setup is not working? Please let me know.
regards,
Rahul M

My screen is freezing with broken pixels and lines

iMac i7 2.93Ghz 12gb DDR3 memory Running 10.7.5. Start Up Disc Lion HD
The issue appears to be random. Started a couple of months ago. The screen starts to freeze, mouse no longer works and unable to force quit apps or shut down normally and appears pixelated with various lines across the screen.
I can t say what triggers it and it seems to happen even when just a few minor apps are open like mail and Firefox.
The computer does seem to run hot and starts to work harder it seems.
The only way to resolve the freeze up is to hard shut down then pull the plug out of the power on wall and use the Pram key strokes to reboot. If I don't zap the pram or remove the power plug it wont re start.
Hopefully I can attach a picture here.
Any info as to how to fix would be happilly recieved
Jackie

Pretty much have the same problem! Everything work, but always got the pixels blinking all over the screen, until the whole computer freeze (or at least the screen) and I have to reboot it. I can reboot with the button and my gear works (mouse etc) Had to buy a new mouse recently though. Don't know if it has anything to do with the comp.
The comp seems to work way better in games (Heroes of Newerth) where the pixels are all gone. The comp. also seems to be a bit slower than usual overall, thinking at random.

Screen freeze with odd squares and occasional crashing

I've had my new IMac 27" (2.66 Ghz i5) for a couple of weeks and it's crashed more times than Windows Vista ever did (about 7 times so far). Every now and again, the screen freezes (sound keeps going) and strange squares appear. The only solution is to hard reboot using the on/off switch.
Today it had trouble starting up again, requiring 2 or 3 goes before coming back to life.
Help! Any suggestions/fixes? Is this a common problem?

Thanks for this. Just taken a look at the Console log and the following is listed at the time of the latest crash:

No idea what all of this means, but it sure doesn't sound too good. Can anyone shed any light?

Whilst online what I am looking freezes with a box and message that plug-in has crashed and do I wish to stop it or continue. How can I resolve this issue ?

Can I have help with solving a plug-in issue. My screen regularly freezes with this problem

No. I have since installed update to Flash player. Have not had a chance to test if it has helped. Will get back to you if I still need help. Many thanks.

ITune v7.02 freezes with CPU at 100%

iTunes freezes after few seconds of opening up the application (CPU maxes out at 100%). It doesn't matter if my iPod is plugged in or not. It always freezes. Very, very disappointed with the quality of iTunes.

Hey brumeux,
How did you install iTunes 7.0.2?
Was it a response to a prompt to update?
If so, did you disable any security software before the install?
If you answered yes, then no
Remove iTunes and Quicktime
go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and download itunessetup.exe using the save option
Then disable security and install again
Hope this helps,

Photoshop Premiere 9 vs 13? Are there any problems with CPU usage and crashing?

I stopped using Premiere, because they the computer would freeze and/or the program. I was curious if there was any issue with people currently using Version 13? I think I loaded it on this computer along with Photoshop Elements 9. After a while I just kept Photoshop Elements.
System Specs:
Windows 7 premium home edition
Processor Intel R Core TM i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30 GHz 2.30 GHz
Installed Memory 6.00GB 826 GB free
64 Bit Operating system

stephanies
If 64 bit, while 9 will be a 32 bit application with the limitations of a 32 bit application on 64 bit system, 13 will be a 64 bit application which translates into more computer resources available to 13.
Elements Organizer 9 will not integrate with Elements Organizer 13 although you can convert the 9 catalog in Elements Organizer 13. And there is a marked difference in the workspace between the two versions. Principles tend to stay the same, but features can be moved, changed, or discontinued.
I would have expected Premiere Elements 9/9.0.1 to have worked in your computer environment. Since it did not, I would strongly suggest that you look at the free 30 days tryout of Premiere Elements 13/13.1 in your computer environment to assure the compatibility of it with your computer environment and project goals.
Lots of causes for program crashes (any version).
a. Conflicts with antivirus program.
b. Problem with video card graphics card
c. Use of a pen and table device instead of mouse
d. Problematic source media and format conflicts
e. Not running program as Administrator
f. Poor installation
g. Failure to install QuickTime along with Premiere Elements on the computer
h. Not meeting System Requirements in some way.
i. Other

Please review and consider. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Printing Problem with Pro-100 and Photoshop

This is my setup: using Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) & editing & printing from Photoshop CS 6. I have new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer and set it up OK. First thing printed was a page from a document from MS Word on 8.5X11 plain paper - this came out OK. Next I fire up Photoshop and open a 4X6 inch image (just a snapshot in jpeg, landscape format) to do a test print. I set it up in the print dialog as 4X6 paper, Canon's Pro Glossy paper profile, rear tray, standard print quality, Photoshop manages the color. I load the paper in the rear tray close the covers and hit print.
Now, when it starts to print the printer moves about 3.8 inches of paper out of the printer and it starts printing on the remaining 2.2 inches then spits the paper out. It does this in Photoshop (any image, it doesn't matter), and it does it printing from Nikon’s Capture NX. I have been able to get it to print on the paper correctly using Apple's Preview program but that that's not going to do me any good. I was on the phone with Canon tech support for about 2 hours and they were completely puzzled suggesting I would have to use Canon's printing apps instead to print - that doesn't do me any good either. I want to be able to print from Photoshop. I have the most recent Canon driver, and Photoshop is up to date. Any one every heard of this or experienced the same problem? I don’t think I’ve overlooked anything. Thanks JMDavis!

Video input with DAC-100 and FCE

I am having trouble getting video into FCE using a DAV-100 breakout box. FCE says the camara is connected but the controls won't work and the video does not show up unless I use the capture method. Does anybody know if there are any settings in FCE that need to be checked.

OK. The DAC-100 is a D/A converter!
When using a D/A converter, FCE should use the Easy Setup>DV Converter option, either PAL or NTSC, whatever you camera is.
There will be NO device control. The Capture Now is the option to use as you have already found out. You can change the 30 mins (default) to another time in the User Preferences window. The longer the capture the greater the chance of audio sync. Around 15 mins a capture is a safe option, though plenty of users get away with an hour a capture, trial and error this yourself.
FYI: Compact-VHS can use a full size adapter for use in a regular VCR if you don't want to use the camera.
