Bluescreens and Lock-ups with 2.15.0
I downloaded the latest driver version, 2.5.0006 today in an effort to try and fix an issue that was intermittently causing the card to stop working (either Vista would tell me no sound device was detected, or there inexplicably would not be any sound what-so-ever).
Since 'upgrading' to the latest version, I have experienced 2 BSoDs and 2 complete system lock-u
ps.
Frustratingly, even the BSoDs themselves are locking up while allocating memory for the crash dump, so I can't get any useful information about what is causing it. Since the only software I've installed in the past month or so - aside from Vista updates - is this sound card driver update, and I haven't seen a BSoD since August of last year, just before nVidia managed to fix an issue with their video card drivers, I am highly suspicious that the crashes are caused by these Creative drivers.
I have contacted customer support about the issue, but while I am waiting to hear back from them, are any of you running across this issue at all My current plan is to wipe out all the drivers and software and install Daniel_k's latest distribution to try and fix this problem. Does anyone have any other suggestions
Edit - System specs:
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750W
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 2.67 GHz
EVGA nForce4 680i mobo
4 GB RAM
BFG nVidia 8800 GTX (x2 in SLi)
Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit
While I was updating the post with my system specs, the computer BSoD'd again.
Edit #2
And in case you were wondering, no, the driver update did not fix the original issue.

Yeah, sounds like you're getting the same problem as me. I've been having random lockups upon reboot as well as lockups and bluescreens while using the device; listening to music, watching YouTube videos, and playing games.
Interesting to note that we don't have the same chipset, amount of RAM, video card configuration, processor, or Vista installation.
It's been about 24 hours since I e-mailed tech support about the issue. They say their average response time is 24 hours, so I'm hoping to see something tomorrow.
As for overclocking, I haven't overclocked this PC so I don't think that's the issue. I appreciate all the feedback and suggestions that have been given so far!
Update: I recieved an e-mail from tech support today, and it was exactly the canned auto-response I was expecting. I'll copy and paste parts of it here:

At this point, I'm pretty tired of dealing with this card. The store I bought it from won't take it back for an exchange or refund, and I doubt CL will RMA it, since the 'product' seems to work fine (though IMHO, defecti've drivers = defecti've product). Even if I could get an RMA through CL, they'd only end up sending me another card, which wouldn't fix the driver issues at all.
I'm going to look around and see if I can find someone interested in buying it, then put that money towards a new card from M-Audio. In the meantime, however, I'll play CLI Support's game and try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers again. Let's see where that goes.

Please help! Major problems (performance and lock-ups) with brand new W520 with Intel 520 SSD
My company primarily uses HP machines but I've been a long time IBM (now Lenovo) fan so I recently had IT purchase me a new Lenovo W520 (product ID 42763LU).
Once the machine arrived I had them do the following:
Remove the 500GB HDD and replace it with an Intel 520 series 240GB SSD
Remove the optical drive and install the 500GB hard drive that came with the machine in the optical bay (with the bay adapter of course)
Format both drives and put a preconfigured windows 7 64-bit image on the SSD
A general summary of the system is the following:
Intel i7-2860QM CPU
8GB RAM
NVIDIA Quadro 1000M
Intel 520 240GB SSD (primary HDD) [SSDSC2CW240A3]
Hitachi 500GB HDD (optical bay) [HTS727550A9E365]
Intel Advanced-N 6205 network adapter
TouchChip Fingerprint Scanner
The machine was a few days delayed getting to me due to "hard drive driver issues" (that's what I was told). When I received the machine I immediately noticed that it was much slower than I expected (I have a custom built i5 HTPC at home running windows 7 on a Crucial SATA III SSD that I was comparing it to) and I was experiencing frequent hangs (ranging from 30 seconds to multiple minutes), super long boot times, general “slowness” at times, and occasional lock-ups. Since our "baseline" laptop here at work is the "equivalent" HP workstation my IT guys have been less than helpful in helping me to solve this issue. Being reasonably computer savvy I decided to try to try to fix the issue myself. I performed the following “troubleshooting” steps:
1. One of the first issues (errors) I noticed in the event viewer was errors related to the optical drive. Clearly the image they installed on the machine was not from a machine with the same hardware configuration. So, I decided to just wipe the machine and perform a fresh install of windows 7 from the disks (well, USB). After spending multiple days installing windows, performing updates, making sure all the drivers were current, and installing only the critical software I need, I was disappointed to realize that although I fixed the optical drive errors the machine was still slow, was hanging, and locking up regularly.
2. Removed the cover on the machine and removed/reinstalled the drive to verify it was secure.Everything looked good.
3. Verified the latest firmware is installed on all my Intel hardware. Everything seemed up to date.
4. I performed a number of troubleshooting steps like booting the machine with/without the battery, with/without the HDD in the optical bay, installed/removed from the docking station, etc. and none of these things helped (also a note – occasionally when running on the battery I was hearing a strange “buzz” or “static” sound coming from the area around the SSD).
5. Next I did some internet research and learned quite a few things. First, it sounds like others have had similar problems with this machine and/or SSD combo and there were quite a few options suggested to “fix” these issues. The general consensus for troubleshooting steps were:
5.1. Download and install the latest Intel chipset drivers and AHCI controller drivers (overwriting whatever windows installs during updates).This didn’t fix anything.
5.2. Turn off PCI express link state power management in the power manager. This didn’t fix anything.
5.3. Disable superfetch, prefetch, indexing, defragmentation, page file, system restore, and hibernate. A few of these were already disabled by windows so in those cases I just verified they were disabled in the services and application editor. These things may have slightly increased performance but did not fix the major hang/lockup issues I was having.
5.4. I followed online steps to edit the registry to disable the PCI link power management by adding ports, adding the required variables, and setting them all to 0. This did seem to have fixed the hangs and/or lock-ups but the machine is still much slower than I would expect (boot times are still pretty slow and it does “stutter” when I’m doing more than one thing at a time. Also a note here – I have the Intel SSD toolbox installed and I noticed that it was giving me a warning for DIPM not being optimized. I made the mistake of clicking “Tune!” and then started having the hang/lock-up issues again. I went back into the registry and sure enough the PCI link power management variables for ports 0 and 1 were set back to 1. I set them back to 0 and the hangs have gone away. I will not be “tuning” the DIPM through the Intel SSD toolbox again…
6. I also fixed a couple of other minor errors I was seeing in the event viewer by disabling benign services and/or making slight timeout modifications (I researched each issue on the internet to verify they were benign before I implemented any changes). These fixes didn't seem to do anything other than make some of the errors/warnings go away. So, the list of errors/warnings has become much smaller but I’m still getting the following (maybe an issue, maybe not?):
Event ID 37 for every processor saying that they are in a reduced performance state for xx seconds since the last report
Event ID 10002 - WLAN Extensibility Module has stopped
Event ID 4001 - WLAN AutoConfig service has successfully stopped
Event ID 27 – Intel® 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection link is disconnected
I suspect the WLAN errors have something to do with windows fighting with the Lenovo access connection tools?
7. Since the machine still seemed slow I downloaded the program AS SSD and checked the performance of the SSD. When I compared my performance numbers to the benchmark numbers I found onlineI was very surprised to discover that I’m getting about 50% of the performance that I should (values below are read/write).

One more note - it seems like my cooling fan is running at a high speed almost all of the time. This is probably one of my power settings (I think I have it set for max performance) but it's even doing this when there is no load (i.e. I'm using IE and just vieweing webpages - like right now).
So, I apologize for such a long post but I’ve spent countless hours researching and troubleshooting this problem and haven’t been able to figure out what the heck is wrong here. Am I missing something simple or do you guys think I have a SSD and/or problem with the machine itself? To say that any and all help would be greatly appreciated would be a massive understatement – I’m on the verge of pulling my hair out and I really need this machine working as quickly as possible!
Please let me know if you have any suggestions and/or need additional information. Thanks in advance for your help!
-ErikLol gotcha about the drive as an option. I didn't go SSD with mine. Do you have the latest firmware on your drive? It is supposed to be v1.97. Just checking (ah and I see item 3 so guess so). Do you have the SSD drive toolbox software installed?
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Solid+State+Drives+and+Cach...)
Seems some useful tools are in there. I can't say much beyond that with the drive. Oh. Why does your fan always run at high speed? Can you describe that? I mean, are we troubleshooting the right kind of issue? Is there anything else going on with your system? I saw about the reduced core speeds message. what are your system loads like? Anything causing high cpu utilization? Could be something other than the drive causing your low numbers and lockups. -
Overheating and Lock ups with MSI TI4200 128DDR
This card seems to overheat and lock up during game play.
Does anyone have a solution?
My system:
P4 1.8Ghz 512K
Intel D845WNL
512 Mb PC133
SB Live 5.1
MSI TI4200 128DDR
WIN 98SE
300W PSU in a standard P4 case
No overclocking
Currently I play games with the case open and an external fan blowing into it.
This as fixed the problem.
I looking for a permanent solution.
Should I get a better PSU?
...or should I just get an ATI 9700 ProFrom what you said your PSU is handling the load but having a dual fan PSU will help temps by maybe a degree or two.
You may not have adequate ventilation and need to ad some fans to your case but that may be the straw that breaks the camels back if you are on the edge as far as adequate power is concerned.
There are quite a few folks that run with the side covers off but you have to keep in mind the ambient temperature where the PC is being used in any case.
So far my experience with GF4 cards is they inherently run hot and can raise the temp in your case several degrees. Nature of the beast.
Bottom line, better cooling and airflow is paramount and take a look at the heatsink, it may have been mounted poorly...this happens with any manufacturer at times and I usually re-mount it with a thermal paste of my preference. Keep in mind you will probably void your warranty with the manufacturer should you need to return or RMA the product. -
Been experiencing severe slowness and lock-ups with Firefox of late, which ends with a sudden drop in memory usage and me having to repeatedly shut it down through Task Manager. I have created a new profile and disabled hardware acceleration. I have tried disabling all plug-ins and extensions, yet I noticed that at times (not always) plug-in container was still an active process, which I don't understand. Why would it be active when there are no enabled plug-ins? I also noticed that when plug-in container is not active (showing under Processes in Task Manager) I do not have this problem and Firefox runs normally? I need to block plug-in container. Please help.
I have just tried on Windows 7 and used process explorer on that. I would expect the results to be displayed in a similar manner on Windows XP.
Plugin-container is shown as being run from Firefox, and in turn if I mouse over or left click the line for plugin-container .exe then under ''command line'' it tells me what is running, in my case at this instance it is Flashplayer and so it displays
.... \Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_12_0_0_77.dll .... plugin ....
It is identifying it is FlashPlayer
The worry with your apparently unknown operation is that within the plugin-container it may be safe but if plugin-container is disabled maybe it could be malware and cause a problem. -
I have been experiencing crashes and lock-ups in Premiere CS4.
Last week I was running Encore to burn a DVD and when I noticed the processor was running flat out. I decided to run Core Temp to check the temperatures. At that point my encoding stopped and Encore locked up.
Now I usually have Core Temp start when I load Windows. I have now disabled it and when I ran Premiere last night guess what? No lock-ups. Now this is early days but I suspect Core Temp might be the problem. I hope so. I'll report back with my findings when I have had more time to experiment.
PS I'm running Windows XP SP3, Quad Core 6600 and 4Gb RAM

Issues (Lock ups) with iTunes 10.6.3
Hi everyone!
I've recently updated my windows 64-bit version of iTunes to 10.6.3 and ever since I'm getting slow response times (ok, that actually occured in the preceding version, too) and lock ups by not doinig anything special other than flipping through my music and deleting or adding files. I'm not even talking about synchronization with other devices here, but simple managing tasks.
Has anybody the same issues or ist it just me. Mr. Google could not help me out on this one
I'm pretty dissappointed and haven't had any othe bad experience with Apple yet. But this is unbearable...You may be seeing something like what is described in this Apple article -> Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
If it's what you're seeing, you can try resetting Winsock as a temporary fix or folllow along with the article.
1. To do so, please do the following in an administrator user:
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Right click All Programs and choose Accessories > Command Prompt. Choose to open as an administrator.
Windows XP: Click Start > Run and type in cmd.
2. Enter the following command:
netsh winsock reset
3. Restart the computer and test the issue.
Note: If the issue returns, third-party software may be reinserting the LSP. -
my iphone has been lost in spain what can I do besides make a complaint to the police and lock it with the located iphone ?
The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
If locked with a passcode, all a thief or whoever finds it has to do is force the phone into recovery mode & restore it. While this deletes all data on the phone, it also removes the passcode so the phone can then be used as a phone or touch. -
Is anyone else having issues with scaling down photos to fit the screen for home and lock screens with ios7?? Installed ios7 this morning. Tried to use one of my photos from camera roll as background for lock screen and I can't scale the photo to fit the screen. Never had a problem before and now when I pinch the photo to get it to the right size of the screen, it won't stay that way. The photo is enlarged way beyond the screen size so it doesn't look right. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hello, cliffiapp4.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
iOS: Not responding

Total lock-ups with fan running - translate system.log file please!?
Hi, all. My late 2005 2.3 gig dual G5 has been experiencing random lock ups for as long as I can remember. My system is up to date and I have tested each pair of the 5 gigs of ram that I have and the system freezes with each pair. It can happen at any time, when I am doing absolutely nothing, for example, overnight. I am at my wits end!
Here's the system log file for the latest freezes. Can anyone tell me what's going on here??? I really need to get to the root of this problem. Thanks so so much in advance.

etc.Hi-
The machine seems to be having trouble with loading certain drivers, but, as this isn't a crash log, and doesn't show the "hang-up" or freeze, it's hard to tell.
Noted possibilities are:
-Microsoft keyboard (possible USB power problem)
-firmtek driver (from archive) questionable due to the "archive" annotation
-Wacom tablet driver, causing system problems
Running in Safe mode without freezes would help to determine if one of these drivers is the problem.
Other possibilities are outdated drivers, or simply a need to reinstall the OS.
If unnecessary, removing the driver(s) would be a good idea.
External USB and Firewire devices are all suspect, should all be disconnected, revert to Apple keyboard, and test system performance. Adding one device at a time, and testing each will be necessary to clear each device.
I have experienced system trouble when a Wacom tablet was not connected, but the driver was left installed.
Disabling the driver from Startup items may be necessary to test without the Wacom tablet connected. -

Hi all,
I have run with the above hardware specification since Jan 2007 without experiencing any hardware problems at all. Two weeks ago I upgraded the CPU from an E6700 dual-core to a Q9550 quad. I was a little concerned about doing this, because the P965 supports a max FSB of 1066 and the Q9550 is rated at 1333. In any case, I Googled around and found that some flavours of the Q9550 had been tested on my mobo (http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-MSI/P965_Platinum_(MS-238).html) and also MSI list the Q9550 stepping C1 as being compatible so I took the leap.
Early indications were good - Vista detected the new chip and I rebooted when prompted. However, in the space of two weeks I have experienced around one or two BSODs per day STOP 101 or 124 codes. Hmm!
I have switched back to my trusty E6700 chip and the system is then as solid as a rock. I see 3 possibilities here:
1.The Mobo website (MSI P965) lists the Q9550 stepping type C1 as being compatible. There is no mention of E0 or C0 which seem to be the other two variants. I have no idea which stepping type mine is as the product numbers for the Q9550 chips are all the same (EU80569PJ073N or BX80569Q9550) regardless of whether it is a C0, C1 or E0 stepping. Is there any way to tell which on I have - I tried with CPU-Z but didn't spot the stepping type? In any case, could this be the problem or am I off-base?
2. It's possible I have a faulty chip. How likely is this do you think? I could ask for a swap with Novatech but could be back in the same boat, and they will reject the return unless it is 'proven faulty'.
3. I need to mod the clocking on my rig to support the Q9550. If so, can anyone advise on what I should do?
I doubt the problem is caused by an OS factor as I ran some tested in an XP pre-boot environmet and still got the lock-ups.
What should I do? i don't really want to ebay the chip at say a £50 loss if i can help it.
Many thanks in advance.Quote

No, the OEM Order Code is different, and the sSpec Number also.
Have a look at these links

ep... need some help with my issues that have been going on for a while.
turning off time machine reduced the temporary lock ups, but they still occur.
also have done a complete reinstall of leopard... issues still occur.
my setup... a mac pro.
programs randomly lock up, show a beach ball and force quits do not respond very quickly (sometimes it takes 1-2 minutes to get out of the stall).
adium, handbrake experience frequent stalls.
ical and fontbook won't open at all... just beachball and eventually quit.
firefox crashes about 2-4 times a day.
terminal is very crashy.
what can i do to solve these issues? i'd gladly reformat but the archive & install (without importing settings) barely improved the situation.
thanks for your time & effort to all those that assist...holy crap i removed all the windows truetype and font fork (eh?) files from my system and fontbook now loads.
i had a feeling it was font related, but things are looking up...
will post more findings... -
Constant lock ups with Leopard!
I find myself having to hold in the power button to turn my computer off almost everyday now! I am not sure what is causing these constant lock ups! Ever since upgrading to Leopard have I noticed this. Yesterday It happened when trying to open iTunes. Today it happened when I clicked on MAIL. The icon just bounces in the dock and nothing happens. I hit FORCE QUIT and that doesn't work either.
Do I need to clear something out or get rid of something? Even when I try to restart my computer sometimes that will lock up too! The only way to get around any of these issues is to hold in the power button to turn the whole computer off, wait a few seconds and turn it back on. Once its back on, then I have full functionality out the computer again but its getting on my nerves that I have to do this all to often!
I think they are some cool features with Leopard but I am experiencing way to many bugs/problems with it to be 100% happy with it.
As I am writing this posting, I just clicked on my APPLE icon in the top left of the screen and then clicked ABOUT THIS MAC to make sure I was using the most current version, and NOTHING happened!Try reinstalling. It sounds like you did an upgrade from an earlier version that may have been corrupt to start with. You may be able to do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update. -
Constant stream of lock ups with Lion 10.7.2
At my wits end since upgrading to Lion (10.7.2). I get a constant stream of application lock ups (beach ball) on every app I try: Firefox (8.0.1) , intermitent connectivity to Internet (although I know my connection is good); App Store unable to connect; iTune unable to connect to store; Parallels Desktop locks up; Outlook (Office Mac 2011) locks up, Time Machine locks up, and more not mentioned. None of these seem to occur at the same time; it's more like the app that decides to not work is random. Firefox is good but App Store will not connect; iTunes is good, but Firefox will not connect.
Each time I'm forced to restart or shutdown only to have similar, but not the same, errors after I log back on. The errors (lock ups) started right after the upgrade and have gotten progressively worse as the days/weeks go by. At the point now where the PC is completely unreliable. It's a crap shoot to find out what is working and what is not.
I've tried about everything mentioned in the forums -- verified/fixed permissions, used Mac OS install DVD to verify/fix HDD issues; no help.
Prior to upgrade, I had zero issues running SL -- all of this started with Lion.simon57 wrote:
In any case, shouldn't Software Update recognise what I am running and what is needed to update it successfully?
To a point. It will inform you of a system update, as with Lion 10.7.2 for example, but that is not the combo update. I set my Systum Updates to install manually, if I see an OS update, I always go to
http://support.apple.com/downloads/
And choose the Combo update whice is always a little bigger, but a cumulative install as mentioned. Always appears to be more stable.

Hi all,
I know there's similar threads on this, but i'm experiencing random lock ups and the phone restarting itself at random. It's the "panic.plist" crash several users have complained about. This issue mostly leads to a hardware problem according to the existing threads.
In my case, this happens about once a month, like a handful of times ever since 12/20/2011 (date of activation). If my hardware was shot, wouldn't this happen several times a week? Several times a day?
64 GB iPhone 4S w/ iOS 5.1.1 by the way.Just an update - ripped the sound card out, rebooted and installed the software for on-board sound - problem solved i can actually talk on vent and the computer boots without errors and hasnt crashed in the past week. Basically was $200 very poorly spent as i cant really be bothered ever putting it back into my system - support told me to download the latest drivers (first thing i did when i found the problem s didnt fix a thing) huge thumbs down for creative - to sum it up - use onboard sound if it works and you want a stable computer.

After about 5 minutes of running a game (/a 3d app) the comp freezes up, the audio still plays just the screen locks up. I think this may have something to do with the gpu. Ive got all the latest drivers etc.
The driver thing says the gpu is usually 45c idle and 50-60 in game. CPU is 40c.
