Blue screen on client/must kill session?

About all 3 or 4 month the following problem occurs:
The application starts a simple update on a table with only one row, but without commit, to continue in one transaction. Just now the application crashes (without obvious reason) or the client (a PC with windows XP) even gets a blue screen, but no rollback is performed for this transaction . Thus the updated table of the oracle database is blocked until we kill the session of the PC manually.
The mentioned update is performed dozens or hundreds times every day, and usually it works fine. It is very probably that some users try this update in the same time, thus the second has to wait until the first one has committed the whole transaction. The update is the first statement of the transaction to prevent deadlocks.
I don't know, if the application crash or blue screen of the PC causes the oracle problem or, vice versa, the oracle problem causes the blue screen. But once there were blue screens on two PC's at the same time, so there should be a dependency.
We've checked the log files, but there was no error message for this time. But for another day we've found an error, also just for this update statement:
ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure
Cause: An error occurred during a data send.
Now we have several questions:
Why doesn't oracle rollback the transaction, if an application crashes? It isn't a good solution to kill the session manually.
Can a simple update bring oracle in such a state?
Can an oracle error crash the application or even windows XP?

Q: Why doesn't oracle rollback the transaction, if an application crashes? It isn't a good solution to kill the session manually.
A: If ORACLE can get the information, that the client process is dead, than ORACLE can rollback the transaction
Q: Can a simple update bring oracle in such a state?
A: No
Q: Can an oracle error crash the application or even windows XP?
A: It's possible that the application crashs, but not Windows XP. An OS should prevent a client application to stop the OS.

  • Blue screen on client computers after locking screen

    When I Lock or Curtain certain computers, instead of the picture of the lock and the message, some just show a blue screen - often with a mouse present that can still be controlled by the user. These computers then cannot be controlled by me or the user (any more than moving the mouse around a blank screen) and have to be manually shut down and powered on via the power button, forcing a loss of the current work on the computer. It is the same computers in which this continues to happen. I have tried reinstalling ARD client, repairing disk permissions and running anti-virus software.
    I am running ARD 3.3.2 and my client computers all have been updated to that as well. The computers are all mirrors of one another, and are updated and maintained at the same time. They are eMac PowerMac 4,4 running 10.4.11 with 700 mHz G4 and 1 GB ram. Thanks for any insight!

  • Windows 2012 R2 - Remote Desktop Sessions, RemoteFX, GPU, Blue Screen RemoteFX adaptor

    Nvidia GPU GRID K1
    Host Server - Dell Power edge R720 128 gig RAM 2 Xeon E5-2640v2 2.0GHz, 20M cache 8c
    Windows 2012 R2 full installation – Bios and all hardware with latest updates.
    Roles - Hyper V and Remote Desktop Virtualization Host
    EPT, GPU, WDDM (latest drivers) compatible for RemoteFX and fully up to date.
    I have disabled the video adaptor on the motherboard.
    I cannot complete with administrative permissions;
    dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-RemoteFX-EmbeddedVideoCap-Setup-Package
    Error: 0x800f080c
    Feature name Microsoft-Windows-RemoteFX-EmbeddedVidoCap-Setup-Package is unknown
    Question 1 - because video card on motherboard disabled, do I still need to complete this command?
    VM’s
    **I’m not interested in VDI but more Remote Desktop Sessions and the option to ‘pinch and zoom with Windows 8.1 tablets**
    VM1 - Windows 2012 R2 configured as generation 1 that is fully patched.
    This VM is able to start up and run until I add the new hardware for the RemoteFX Video adaptor from within the Hyper V settings. When I start the VM the server blue screens. I have tried multiple VM’s with 2012 but same thing
    If I created the VM as Generation 2 I am able to start the VM but the RemoteFX adaptor doesn’t appear in the device manager. I have read generation 2 isn’t compatible with RemoteFX.
    VM2 – *Testing purposes* - Windows 8.1 Enterprise configured as generation 1 that is fully patched.
    This VM I am able to start up and run the VDI after the RemoteFX video adaptor is installed, also the correct adaptor appears in the device manager. This seems to at least work correctly but I cannot pinch and zoom and the experience is poor.
    GPU summary within the Hyper V settings state there are 4 physical GPU’s all of which can be used with RemoteFX and that 1 virtual machine are using the GPU (Windows 8.1 enterprise VM)
    Firewalls off, latest RDP clients
    I have read you should be able to use Windows 2012 R2 and we should be able to use the sessions with pinch and zoom but now and then you come across something that tells me different.
    Question 2 – I need this to work with Windows 2012 R2 so we can use Remote Desktop Sessions 
    and the tablets can use pinch and zoom, anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong?

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    As per my research, you need to run the command although video adapter is disabled on motherboard. If you install the RemoteFX cap driver, the integrated video adapter is disabled while the operating system is running. 
    For more information you can refer beneath article.
    1. RemoteFX (with Hyper-V) is a serious business tool. For games.
    2. Configure RemoteFX in Hyper-V running Windows Server 2012 with low end GPU
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Cisco VPN Client causes blue screen crash on WindowsXP Pro (Satellite M30)

    Hi there,
    I've got a Satellite Pro M30 running Windows XP Professional.
    After starting a vpn Tunnel via a Cisco VPN Client (Version 4.6 and 4.7) the system crashes with a blue screen.
    I can see that the key exchange is successful, but immediatly after the vpn connection gets established Windows XP crashes with a blue screen.
    Has anyone an idea, how to solve this problem?
    Maybe by device driver update? And if so, which driver should be updated?
    Kind regards,
    Thorsten

    Hi R2D2 (and anyone else)!
    1st of all (concerning your link) - I'm not using the wireless adapter.
    I am connectet via 100Mbit via network-cable to my hub (all RJ45 TP Cat.5)
    I found several other Notebook users by google'ing who have the same problem different vpn-clients but most of them with a centrino processor inside the notebook.
    Almost all of them solved the problem by installing new drivers. But I can't use driver-patches from other Notebook to fix my Toshiba Drivers.
    What could help is information about which driver is responsible for the crash by vpn clients on centrino notebooks. Maybe there is an Intel driver for it, but when I do not know which one causes the problem it's like seeking a needle in a haystack... :(
    Disabling ALL other network devices (wireless, 1394-network adapter, modem, etc.) did not solve the problem.
    I used the Cisco VPN clients several times on my old Compaq Notebook without any problems, but here it just doesn't work.
    An idea which driver should be updated is kindly welcome!
    Thank you, Thorsten

  • Vpn client causing blue screen on windows xp

    Hi all, we have rolled out cisco vpn client to most of our laptops, we have now lots of users experiencing the blue screen of death when remotley connected.
    Does anyone know why this is?
    Cheers
    Carl

    If you are using the VPN client 3.6.1 it might cause a Windows BlueScreen critical error. This problem results from incorrect processing by the VPN Client of a return DDNS packet from a DNS server that does not implement DDNS.
    If this problem is encountered, cvpndrv.sys (Cisco VPN Driver) would cause the blue screen.
    Release 3.6.3 resolves the issues

  • Cisco VPN Client Blue Screen Windows Vista

    I am using Cisco Client IPSec VPN version 5.0.07.0410. Installed on a Windows Vista operating system. Blue screen in Windows occurs after I have entered userid and password. Can anyone shed any light on this? I know that Cisco operates fine with XP and Windows 7 but has had issues with Vista?
    Thank you
    Carlos                  

    Andrew,
                 Thank you. As soon as we upgraded Vista to SP2, it worked. The issue was with the OS not having the proper updates to interact with the Cisco VPN client.
    Appreciate all the support.

  • Blue screen while session iniciates

    hi, i got a problem with my macbook.
    when i turn on my mac is starts as normal, but when apple logo appears with little circle running on, a blue screen appears for four minutes and then appears the desk as normal. My mac is completly new and this is the first time that happens this. On past sessions never happen this. Can u help me?
    thanks

    Some one else may correct me, since I am a new user too, but the blue screen is a normal part of start-up, all Macs with OSX do this; however, four minutes seems like too much time to start up. My blue screen lasts five or ten seconds, then changes in shade a little, then the desk top appears. All this takes only about a minute at the most. Good Luck!

  • VPN Client 4 blue screens Acer TravelMate Running W2K

    I have tried two different versions of the Cisco VPN Client (both of them Version 4 flavors), and the Acer TravelMate will Blue Screen after installation. If I boot to Safe Mode and uninstall the Client, the machine works fine. The machine is running Windows 2000.
    Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what did you to to solve it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Mike

    There are known issues with blue screen symptoms with VPN client. There are several bugs on 4.0 which may cause a blue screen: CSCdt31839, CSCdx57930, CSCal01761, CSCdx11597. These are only a few known issues regarding a blue screen on a windows machine. Check if there are others with Acer too using the Bug toolkit available on cisco.com/tac.

  • After Install VPN Client for Win V4.8 Get Blue Screen

    When I installed the VPN client on my machine with XP, SP2 and updates the machine booted until it got to the Windows User Log On Screen where I immediately got a blue screen with the
    Stop Code 0x96
    - Invalid_Work_Queue_Item -
    If I go to Safe Mode and uninstall the client everythings returns to normal. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thank You

    I too have the same problem. I am trying to connect to my corporate network through VPN(4.6). It ends up in following error.
    DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
    Configuration:
    Dell Inspiron E1505.
    XP Home SP-2.
    VPN 4.6
    History:
    I was able to connect to VPN for past eight months. I have been working in the network with out any problems. Last month I had some problems in my laptop and ended up in formatting it.
    I have used the default OS installation CD shipped along with the laptop. But after the re-installation, the system started failing. I have never been able to connect after that.
    I too agree that this may not be same as the one described in initial posting. But the one explained by henryadams is a genuine issue.
    This is not only with me. But also happens with two of my colleagues as well.
    Would appricate if any one can help on this.
    Thanks, Raja

  • Blue Screen caused by Killer Network Manager on MSI GS70 Stealth 970m 6GB

    The GS70 always gets the blue screen when booting up then it restarts. After the restart it does not blue screen anymore. I've almost found my answer from these people https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=178064.0 yet I cannot install another Wifi adapter since there is none available for my laptop unless it's the stock Killer wireless- n/a/ac 1525 Wireless network adapter. I can confirm that the Blue screens are caused by the Killer Wireless because when I uninstalled it. There were no more blue screens. I just want help since I am tired of my laptop blue screening everytime I boot it up. Please help me and thank you so much.

    Hi,
    I guess your OS is not MSI OEM Windows?
    What's your current LAN driver version?
    MSI mainboard download page has a newer Killer driver, give it a try.

  • E2500 Wireless Causing Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) with My Company's VPN (AT&T Net Client)

    Since recently replacing my home router with a Linksys E2500, I have been getting Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) with my Company's VPN (AT&T).  It only happens when I am running wireless with my E2500.  If I am hooked up to my E2500 through a ethernet cable it doesn't happen.  I have updated the BIOS on my Lenovo Thinkpad T410 and ensured all of my drivers are up to date.  I am  99.9% sure the problem is caused by my Linksys E2500 because I have used my laptop on other wireless routes at work and school and never get this problem.  I am also ensured that my E2500 has the current firmware installed and upgraded my Company's VPN to the most current level to no avail.
    I am getting DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Blue Screen of Death in agnfilt.sys.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
    Solved!

    The symptoms you describe could be symptomatic of a variety of things to include hardware/software issues, overheating caused by a failed processor fan, bad memory (RAM), failing or underpowered power supply, CPU overheating, motherboard, video card, faulty or unsigned device drivers, CMOS battery going bad, BIOS and firmware problems, dirty hardware components, programs hanging or unresponsive in the background, and even malware. If the computer is overheating, it usually begins to shutdown/restart on a more regular basis.
    If the machine is only crashing at home after establishing a connection but not at work when establishing a connection, then its probably an issue with your network configuration or something (i.e. wireless adapter) causing a conflict and not a malware issue.
    The DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error is usually due to a bad driver or faulty/incompatible hardware or software. This error condition means that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel Interrupt ReQuest Level (IRQL) that was too high.

  • Is there a known bug where Blue Screen of Death kills Firefox?

    Firefox is running on an XP computer, a BSoD happens, then Firefox hangs on startup. Only solution is to remove and reinstall including personal settings. Is this a known bug?

    I have this problem for 3 weeks now.
    Blue screen occurs 2/3 times a day, only when FF running (tested with IE : problem disapears).
    More blue screens occur when playing a video, but happens without Flash player anyway.
    Seems to be a minidump / AppDataLocal Temp... error.
    Any idea ?

  • Mac mini will not complete shutdown-closes desktop, goes to blue screen, and spinning icon just spins forever, so  must power off to reboot.

    Recently, My Mac-mini will not complete the "shutdown" or "restart" routine; it closes the desktop screen, goes to the light blue screen, but then the spinning indicator (not the "wheel of death") just keeps spinning forever with no shutdown (I've let it spin for >2 hrs.).  Have run disk/permissions verifications and repairs from applejack, disk utility, Mactuneup.app & all report ok.  Any suggestions, please?
