Freezes While Rendering!

Please i need help asap! i have a report due tommorow!
hey everyone,
i was making a green screen sequence in final cut and its done then when i choose render it goes a certain percentage (changes everytime usually before 20 percent) and then gives me the colored pinwheel. i was using an external but then i transfered to my comp alone... it still does the same thing. please i need help! what is going on!

can you render anything else ? (ie something else in the timeline that is not part of your greenscreen work)
some thoughts:
its possible that you have no disk space for the render (re-target your video render scratch directory)
you maybe have a permissions issue that is stopping the render from working (again, re-target your render scratch directory)
try also creating a new user account, opening your project in he new account and see if it will render

New Mac Pro (late 2013) crashes / freezes while rendering or editing in Premiere Pro CC

We recently purchased a new Mac Pro desktop (Late 2013, 16GB memory, D700 Graphic Card, 2.7 GHz -12 Core, OSX 10.9.3) and we are running Adobe CC on it. When using Premiere Pro CC (7.2.2) I am having major issues while rendering and editing. About 50% of the time when I try to render it starts off real fast then just freezes. This happens in Premiere and Media Encoder. Sometimes I can just Force Quit Premiere or Media Encoder and other times I have to do a hard restart on the entire computer because the entire computer freezes. The computer will also occasionally freeze whenever doing simple editing or stacking layers. The computer will also just decide to suddenly stop and restart when editing or doing simple tasks like browsing the web. Additionally there has been several times if the render does finish, the final video will have digital glitches throughout the video. I have to redo the render once or twice and it will finally be fine. This all is happening several times a day. This never happened on our previous Mac Pro, but we were not running Mavericks. I used Migration Assistant to transfer from old computer to new computer. So I don't know if this is an a problem with the actual Mac Pro, Mavericks, graphic card or Adobe? But right now I am very frustrated as you can imaging spending all this money for a computer that has been giving us more issues than our previous computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

17 Macbook Pro, freezing while rendering video in FCP

Hi I have a late 2008 Model MacBook Pro 17. My Macbook keeps freezing during rendering in Final Cut Pro 7. Its been doing this for 3 weeks or so. I originally thought a SSD was the way to go, but I think I may really need a new processor. Im a little confused on what I should buy and what fits my MacBook Pro. What I want is to fix the rendering freezing and shorten the rendering time. I'd appreciate any advice or ideas. Is my Macbook compatible to a Intel i7 or i5? Buying a new Macbook Pro is not an option at this point. Thank you in advance.
Here are the specs on my laptop:
MacBookPro4,1
2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB RAM
500gb HDD Momentus 7200 SATA 3Gb/s
GeForce 8600M GT

Hi instantclassic99,
I do have this article of key combinations on startup:
Startup key combinations for Intel-based Macs
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1533
I would try this with a wired Apple keyboard if possible. Specifically, I'd try:
Press Option during startup
Start up in Startup Manager, where you can select an OS X volume or network volume to start from.
Cheers!

MacBook Pro Freezes while rendering menu's

I Got a new MacBook Pro 2.2Ghz (Nov 2), with plenty of hard drive space left (80G), decided to create an iMovie which was great no problems here, then decided wanted to burn to DVD. Created a DVD using the Wedding 07 theme and then went to try and create the disc image.
The Mac freezes after about a 1/3rd of the way through while trying to render the menus, causing me to do a hard reboot. I read several topics in here, trying to fix it:
Deleting the com.apple.plist file
resetting the permissions,
using an older theme (got further but still froze after about 2/3rdss of rendering menu's).
Setting the chapter buttons to still's rather than moving images
All to no avail still cant get it to work.
I created another short iMovie, with no chapters, just one menu, put some pics in, music etc and that worked. This leaves me to believe the problem lies in having the chapters in the DVD.
I know quite a few of you have experienced this, has anyone found a way of getting around it or is it we have to wait until an update is released from Apple?

I've been having the same problem with my macbook pro since november. I've been watching these forums to see if anyone has figured out the problem but I can wait any longer so I called apple. I've spent at least 8 hours on 5 different phone calls with 5 different people over the last two weeks. My computer still is not fixed. And from the sounds of the people I've talked to, they have no idea that there is even a problem with some of the macbook pros. I have done everything that they can think of including completely erasing and reinstalling my operating system and testing idvd with a file sent to me from apple. I was able to narrow down my problem to having videos in the drop zones of submenus. I can burn a dvd with as many submenus as I want as long as there are pictures in the drop zones. It burns fine with a picture in the drop zone. I can even burn a dvd with video in one menu drop zone and pictures in the rest. It doesn't matter which menu the video is in, as long as there is only one menu drop zone with video the dvd will burn. Is anyone else getting the same result?

Help. G Drive freezes while rendering, hard reboot only way out.

I have asked about this two prior times in forums.
When rendering in FCP X, the G-Drive loses communication with laptop. Freezes FCP X. Only way to unfreeze is hard reboot (pushing down power button). Convinced it was a dying G-Drive, I bought a new one, cloned the old one before running Disk Warrior. Same behavior on the new one, so it cannot be the drive. It is a 1TB G-Drive 7200rpm, connected via firewire 800. Spent 2.5 hours on the phone with Apple support, nothing. I do not think they could even understand the issue, and I talked to 4 different people. One of them told me you should always have projects and events on your internal OS drive for editing, not attach any external drives (no, I am not kidding). They seemed to all think I was using Aperture for some reason, weird, since I never mentioned that program and do not even own it.
I am a pro here, and I am not doing anything I should not be. I have run disk warrior on all disks involved. I have repeated this process in different projects with multiple types of media, making me think that the media is not corrupted. I have used disk utility several times, no errors or permission issues. I have trashed render files, preferences from the library, and re-installed FCP X.
I am now left to buying a new everything, but of course I cannot afford that
I read on G-Drive support page about these drives sometimes freezing up, but my issue does not relate to those.
I could really use a pro's pro or someone who has been down this road. I have been dealing with this since Tuesday, I dont have to tell you how far this has me behind.
2009 MacBook Pro
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Software OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)
G-Drive 1TB 7200 rpm, firewire 800 connection
G-Drive mini (the new one) 1TB 7200rpm firewire 800
editing AVCCAM 720p24fps, AVCCAM 1080p60fps, 720p30fps (all from various projects)

That is the next step I suppose. I had to pay $99.00 for the support on the phone, extra care just expired. Trying one more time this morning with phone support. Thanks Tom.
Still certain projects do not seem to have this issue. I also just installed the free trial of Pro Maintenance Tools, was not able to find any corrupt media.
It said from the crash reports that it may be the graphics card. The card in this computer is well suited for FCP X, but I suppose may be failing. I am under the impression you cannot upgrade this card on a MacBook Pro.

CS3 freezes whil rendering #D object change Mac OS

Mac os10.57 Mackbook pro 2.4ghz 2gb memory. Creating a 3d object using rounding is not a problem. However. when I try to change size or shape of the object the rendering process isn't exactly forzen but I have let it go over several hours now and it is not done. presently it is on the renderingg visability phase, I have used the same file on a windows pc with no such problem.
I have uninstalled the program and killed all processes, and everything else in the beginning, intermediate and advanced troubleshooting process to no avail.... ~help?
Bob

Have you upgraded your video card say from the Nvidia 7300 to the
Nvidia 8800 by any chance?
If so you will not be able to boot from the Disk that came with your
Mac if you are running a Mac. Not saying this is your problem
but if it is then you have two choices one is to swap out the cards so
you have the Nvidia or earlier card version in the Mac or get a more
current disk which supports the new card.
if it is not that i would suspect some other upgrade.

I want to freeze frame while rendering and to continue

hey all
i am using a processor and a codec to grab frames (AccessFrame...)
while rendering the media i created a mouse listener .
on the first click i want to freeze the image and click 3 more times in order to get specific coordinates
and then to carry on with the media transmission.
so... what i did i stopped the processor clicked 3 more time and then started the player.
ok so its work. when i start the player i get a black screen for a second and the media is playing....
my question is. does anyone has a better way??? when i start the processor from the stopped stage i am getting
a black screen.
thanks
Nati

Open the video in QuickTime Player.
Scrub to the frame.

After Effects CS6 (11.0.4) freezes a MacPro (10.9.2-10.9.5) while rendering

Hi all,
we experience reproducable crashes of After Effects freezing the whole system while rendering.
AE-Version: 11.0.4 (CS6)
Mac OSX 10.9.2 (on a MacPro 2012 - same Problem on a MacPro 2013 with Mac OSX 10.9.5)
The Video-Card is a KONA LHi with Hardware-Driver 10.6.
Multiprocessing is turned on and we tried different configurations. (MacPro 2012 has 48GB RAM, MacPro 2013 64GB).
The Media Cache has been released.
Taking a look at the activity monitor I see that the "Adobe QT32 Server" does not respond right after starting After Effects.
That leaded me to the suspicion that some installed Quicktime-Codecs may be the cause.
Throwing away the AJA-Codecs located in "Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/" the Adobe QT32 Server runs fine but then I am unable to open the AE-Project properly.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated!
Thanks
Dankward

Hi Szalam,
the Codecs installed with the AJA-Driver are the latest so far.
Turning Multiprocessing off seems to help. The AE-Project that I got for testing doesn't crash anymore.
But rendering takes ages...
Thanks

Why does my entire computer freeze while opening or using After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5?

Just built a computer to meet all requirements for Adobe, Autodesk 3ds Max, and UDK, for school.

As for anything else giving me issues I haven't noticed anything besides a previous Graphics Card wasn't supported very well at all with 3ds Max, it would freeze while using the material editor which was fixed with replacing a GTX550 ti with a more compatible GTX480. Thought maybe the upgrade would also solve the fact that almost everytime I go to start up and/or use After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5 my whole system freezes. Whether or not I'm doing anything, it occasionally happened during "Scrubbing" the timeline, but also during the splash load up screen. Would take the time to wait for several minutes but nothing would change. Hard reboot was needed. After countless hours of searching online I stumbled upon what is called an "Unlock" for Premiere Pro/After Effects to allow accelerated GPU and CUDA cores. Simple procedure, seems as if things go faster... When it is working. But still, I encounter freezes on my entire system. It isn't a crash back to Windows or anytihng. Just a complete freeze on the entire system. I have not extensively used other Adobe programs besides Photoshop quite briefly just so I could open menus and force a freeze within 5 minutes and noticed nothing wrong. Which in AE & PP just running through any of the menu windows can quickly cause a sudden freeze.
note* I have alternated shutting off and turning on OpenGL as well as multiprocessing. Doesn't matter, it really doesn't seem to change much of anything.
Alas, I am absolutely sure, after checking and re-checking 80+ hours over the past 2 weeks that yes, everything is updated as far as each individual program, software or hardware will allow me to update them. I have reinstalled Windows as well as each program up to 3 times, and 1 system (restore?) I had Windows dump everything, started from scratch, backed up nothing. To reinstall everything from scratch, while not installed several "Utilities" or software components from stuff like the Motherboard and its XFAST USB/LAN or whatever, thinking maybe it was cluttering up anything.
Please, if anyone has any ideas upon this and could give me advice, whether you notice any other incompatibilities or anything. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
note* I do not have a wired Keyboard or mouse to disable the USB plugin and attempt that route.. at least not yet, its on my list of things to do. Also, I did run Memtest86+ during a boot and it claims that everything there had passed 100%. I am not "overclocking" anything either. I just wanted something I could work smoothly on, that would have decent rendering capabilities. I used to use my girls' laptop which was an HP with 3GB RAM and never experienced crashes or freezes and I could use AE, PPro, 3ds Max with some lag but not any issues. Rendering took forever on it, but I usually avoided that 'cuz it would start heating up pretty fierce. Saved my rendering for school computers where I could. But either way, now I have this expensive piece and it is getting frustrating that I cannot work on it.
note* Also, incase it does help, I have Windows as well as any major components installed onto the C: drive (aka SSD for my system) while all my secondary software, such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc. are all installed directly to my D: drive (or HDD) And everything is set up to go through Windows Firewall as well.

Thanks all. I have just tried a few things, installing them onto the C drive as you all specified as not being one of them. I can understand it, but at the same time i have a classmate who has their software on a seperate drive and it runs smoothe. I'm on my second GPU in 2 weeks, unless I have terrible luck it seems doubtful being that I can run games and a majority of the software no problem. Through further testing around with a corded mouse and keyboard I've noticed the following...
The computer freezes entirely only when I'm performing a "scrubbing" action or using a mouse. Left clicking, scrolling, or moving it around. Otherwise if I do not use the mouse and I make all my actions, such as "scrubbing" in AE via "Page Up & Down" keys, there's no freeze and it preloads the preview no problem.
"Scrubbing" does not load a preview (the green bar doesn't load at all while scrubbing). But, also noticed no matter how smoothe everything is running in 3ds Max as well as PPro, once I start performing a "scrubbing" action with whatever timeline I use, it will definately freeze my whole computer, Windows and all. Hard reboot is neeed.
With having gone through 2 GPU's, done a full memtest via Windows 7 and Memtest86+, there seems to be no issue with my memory or GPU. Like I said, I've run UDK without an issue. Whether the editor or game. The USB doesn't seem like it's the cause, I've used both wireless as well as wired keyboards/mouse. Still freezes, but now only when using a mouse to "Scrub".
Is it possible my motherboard could be incompatible somewhere? I mean, really.. everything is brand new but 2 weeks of troubleshooting.
And I do plan on trying to run my software off the C drive, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like I said, I've seen and used a computer where it all runs off the D drive and it runs perfectly, actually better on his computer than off the C drive at my schools. So if it is an issue would it lie within the fact that I'm using an Nvidia GPU? Considering my classmate is using a AMD/ATI Radeon or something like that.
Again, to those who replied, your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.

X apps (especially gtk apps) "freeze" while fluxbox keeps working

HI Everyone,
I'm trying to understand if this issue Ive been experienceing for the last several weeks (months?) is related to the "redrawing" and "freezing" issues I've been reading about with KDE.
What I experience is the gui application failing to redraw. The window "freezes", i.e. stops updating. If I switch desktops, and then switch back, whatever was drawn on the other desktop is still showing inside the window outline of the "frozen" app. The window decorations render correctly and the WM in general continues to function.
Firefox and thunderbird seem particularly vulnerable to this syndrome. I've also seen Transmission and gVim be affected. In short gtk apps seem to be mostly what are freezing.
I also typically run quite a few xterms. These will generally not exhibit the graphical redraw problem, but it seems this issue is getting worse, because I'm now seeing xterm commands failing to complete because of what seems to be saturated CPUs. In general I'm able to bring an xterm to the forground over a "frozen" app and it will still function.
I will often keep xosview open. When this freeze-up occurrs, xosview will still be running and indicating that 1 or 2 of the quad-core2 are pegged at 100%.
The config n brief:
quad-core2 x86_64 intel motherboard w/ 8G RAM and Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics
kernel26 2.6.35.4-1
xorg-server 1.8.1.902-1
fluxbox 1.1.1-1 (therefore no compiz)
I sometimes seem to hear intense disk activity, and a sync command will delay in completing during these events.
I run mdadm RAID1 mirror on all partitions, including swap. Additionally I recently added a second pair of drives that are mirrored, formated ext4, and mounted as /home, all other filesystems are ext3.
Is anyone else running fluxbox, or other WMs besides KDE, seeing these types of X app freeze-up?
Are those having issues in KDE experiencing these same kind of graphic rendering delays? That is, do some apps freeze while other apps and the WM continue to function? Are the freezes associated with GTK apps?
Thank You! for any confirmation, or denial, that this has anything to do with the KDE freeze-ups, or any illuminating info you are able to provide...

Well, it's getting worse and worse.
I've pacman-Syu several times in hopes some update would fix things, but instead it just gets worse.
I did find this morning entries in dmesg that look like ext4 journalling has something to do with it:

However, during this >2minute lockup I looked at htop and it never indicated any of the 4 cpu's were over 3 or 4% , while xosview was showing 3 cpu's pegged at 100%.
The top task in htop was the running audio player, consuming at around 2%.
I've never seen a filesystem looking module at the top of top.
EDIT: man is my friend 8-) for htop: press 'K' to include kernel processes
Is there some way to get further insight into what is happening in the filesystem?
I'll try turning off journalling, maybe I need to convert that new partition to ext3 (a painfuil exercise).
Any help in discecting the CPU utilization is greatly appreciated!
Thanx!

Freezing while exporting out of premeire cs6?

I am having problems exporting out of premiere cs6. It completely freezes halfway, all of my settings match, does anybody know why this is happening?? please help.

Thank you Mr. Hunt, I found out that it was one of the clips in my TL it was a motion Jpeg,, I had to export it out as a H.264. Thanks for your help.

Crash/Freeze while using Final Cut Express 4.0.1

Setup:
MacPro 1,1
Lion 10.7.5
Final Cut Express 4.0.1
Video: ATI Radeon HD 6870 XFX
Audio: PreSonus FireStudio Mobile
(Been this way since Sept. 2012)
Recently, my computer has been frequently freezing while playing back video on Final Cut Express 4.0.1. This has been going on for probably 2 weeks now (and today, it happened twice in 30 minutes). I am playing video (fully rendered), then the screen greys out, and any sound loops about .2 seconds of whatever was last playing.
Sometimes the computer shuts itself off and restarts (like a kernel panic), other times I have to force the computer off. Sometimes the screen has small vertical stripes when crashing/freezing.
This MAY have also happened while playing back 1080i video in QuickTime as well, but I'm not sure. I've been using 1080i videos for over 2 years, so I'm not sure what the issue is. This is why I think it's a Mac Pro problem and not a FCE problem.
I put in a new graphics card a year ago, but I haven't had any issues with it in that time.
I've included the crash report. I see "panic" in there, and this time the computer restarted itself. If anyone can help what might the issue be, I'd be very grateful.

Try removing the Soundflower driver first then restart your Mac.
If that doesn't help, remove the PaefireStudio software, restart your Mac to test.

Beyond that try a different mouse and keyboard. If that helps, remove the Microsoft drivers.

MSI P35 Neo-F (MS-7360): Computer randomly freezes while playing games

Hi there,
I have reached the end of my technical knowledge right now and I'm not even sure if this area of the forum is appropriate. The problem:
While playing higher-end games like Crysis 2, Anno 1404, Mass Effect 2 etc. my computer randomly freezes and the last few milliseconds of sound are being looped on my speakers (kind of like a buzzing sound).
By "freezing" I mean that my computer becomes unresponsive to any action other than pressing the Reset-Button or holding down the Power-Up-Button (no reaction to Ctrl+Alt+Del, Alt+F4, Alt+Tab, no mouse movement... you get it).
There's no exact timing as to when these freezes occur. The fastest freeze happened after less than a minute of playing a game, slowes one (just today after switching to my newer case with better cooling) took about 2 hours.
This freeze only occurs while my System is under load. No freezes while browsing the web, using office programs, listening to music or watching videos.
System Specs:
Mainboard: MSI P35 Neo-F (MSI-7360)
CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 @2.4GHz
RAM: 4x 1GB DDR2-800 Corsair XMS2
Graphics: Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti, 1GB GDDR5 VRAM
PSU: Antec High Current Gamer 620W (upgraded from Xilence XP600, 600W)
New CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 13 Pro (upgraded from OEM Intel Boxed Cooler)
New Case: Zalman Z9 Plus w/ 4x 120 mm Fans (Upgraded from a Case with only 1x 250mm side Fan)
2 Western Digital HDD (1x 2TB, 1x320 GB)
1 DVD Reader/Burner (unimportant for that error I guess)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
2 Screens: 1x 24" Asus VS248H and 1x 21" LG Flatron Wide W2240T
Since this error is bugging me for quite a while now and since this is not the first forum I'm trying to get help from, here's a list of steps i already took to get rid of it, obviously to no good use:
reinstalled games where the freeze occurred
updated all Drivers (including cleaning old versions in safe mode; also tried older drivers)
updated BIOS to v1.A0
Reinstalled Windows
bought new Case and CPU Cooler to improve Air Flow/Cooling
checked Seating of all components (took out, cleaned, reapplied thermal grease where neccessary, re-inserted)
cleaned old case of dust (obviously no problem in the new case, which is 2 days "old")
ran 7 sequences of Memtes86+ without any errors
ran Prime95 without any errors for about 45 Minutes
ran Furmark for 15 Minutes under full load (burn-in test) without any problems, even though my graphics card hit the 100°C frequency-cut level
ran Furmark and Prime95 simultaneously without any problems
took records of component temperatures and system voltages without noticing anything unusual (at least not after i switched to the newer PSU, which is about 1 Month old - yet didn't resolve the problem)
tested with cyclic removal of 1 RAM device to further rule out RAM malfunction
tested with only 2 RAM devices in dual channel mode (Slots 1 and 3)
tried to reduce RAM clock (800 MHz --> 667 MHz) to no avail
checked S.M.A.R.T. values of HDDs, no issues reported
tested without any background programs
raised/lowered voltages to RAM, CPU and Chipset in BIOS to increase logic circuit stability/decrease heat production
I need to mention: After I transferred my system to the new case, i was able to play longer than average compared to my old case. So I am guessing that improper cooling was part of the problem, yet improving cooling obviously didn't resolve it.
Since these freezes are really annoying and nobody could help me resolve this so far, I'm hoping to find some new ways of narrowing down the problem or even getting rid of it here.
Regards
Sebb

Lets be realistic. A system with a 560TI is recommended to have a around 31Amps under full load, a CX500 would be sufficient.
Have you monitored your CPU and memory utilisation ?
As suggested before, test the GPU in another computer to see if the behaviour is the same.
Whew, I thought for a second there that my common sense had left me when I saw that 60-Amp-Post ^^
Yes, I monitored CPU and RAM usage, there is no recognizeable pattern to be seen and it almost never happens under full load.
I will see if a friend of mine can test my GPU on his computer, and I will test it underclocked right away.
Though one more question regarding that: Should I only underclock GPU Core Clock or both Core and RAM clock?

Multi threading race condition in JTable while rendering and truncating?

Hi All,
It seems that there is a race confition when rendering a large table which is truckated by another thread while rendering it on a JTable view.
Let me try to explain what I think is the problem:
When considering the folowing code from BasicTableUI
First the size of the tbale model is determined in
public void paint(Graphics g, JComponent c) {
[snip]
        if (rMax == -1) {
         rMax = table.getRowCount()-1;
        }then this cMax is passed to:
private void paintCells(Graphics g, int rMin, int rMax, int cMin, int cMax) {
     JTableHeader header = table.getTableHeader();
     TableColumn draggedColumn = (header == null) ? null : header.getDraggedColumn();
     TableColumnModel cm = table.getColumnModel();
     int columnMargin = cm.getColumnMargin();
        Rectangle cellRect;
     TableColumn aColumn;
     int columnWidth;
     if (table.getComponentOrientation().isLeftToRight()) {
         for(int row = rMin; row <= rMax; row++) {
          cellRect = table.getCellRect(row, cMin, false);
                for(int column = cMin; column <= cMax; column++) {
                    aColumn = cm.getColumn(column);
                    columnWidth = aColumn.getWidth();
                    cellRect.width = columnWidth - columnMargin;
                    if (aColumn != draggedColumn) {
                        paintCell(g, cellRect, row, column);
                    cellRect.x += columnWidth;
     } else {The prepareRenderer works like this:
    public Component prepareRenderer(TableCellRenderer renderer, int row, int column) {
        Object value = getValueAt(row, column);
[snip]
     return renderer.getTableCellRendererComponent(this, value,
                                                   isSelected, hasFocus,
                                                   row, column);
    }Here the above getValueAt is called for every cell to be rendered (in one thread) , while async a row can be deleted (in another thread) while the tables rendereing is still in progress. This leads to a value to be unexpectedly be null in the above return renderer.getTableCellRendererComponent method call: this method could return an empty panel to indicated that the cell is gone which is strange behaviour because the row doesn't exists anymore. The other option would be to return a null renderer so that the cell won't be rendered but that is impossible because the code doens't expect a null renderer. The third option could to be synchronize somehow the 2 threads so that any delete on the model has to wait until the rendering has finished.
A possble solution could be to make paintCells at least protected and change to code to see if the designated row still exists, and if not don't increment the row height
Any help/feedback is greatly appreciated!
Note that this question is based upon Java5 and I do not know if this is also true for Java6
Thnx
Andr'e

So this means that a TableModel must be manupulated (setValueAt , adding deleting and/or updating objects in this TableModel) through a thread in the EventQueue!
i.e. (pseudo code)
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                getTableModel().setValueAt(........)
        });A

Toshiba Satellite C655 SP4168M freezes while playing a game

So i've been having problems with mi laptop very recently with a game i'm playing (League of legends), the game normally works perfectly, but at random times it just completely freezes (making an awkward sttutering sound) and i have to forcefully shutdown and restart the PC. It doesnt happen ALL the time, but when it happens it's really annoying, and i can either happen once every week, or several times daily. I already repaired the video driver but that didnt help, i was thinking about updating the BIOS; but cant find the correct version for my laptop, and i cant even be sure that's actually the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try using a program like "Piriform Speccy" (free version), and monitor the CPU temps as you are using the system. If it gets up into the orange and red while watching videos, you may need to apply fresh thermal paste to the CPU.
My old L355 is starting to freeze while watching youtube videos the other day, and just confirmed that the CPU is overheating. Will be tearing it apart hopefully tonight to be cleaned up and have a fresh application of arctic silver on the CPU.

Freezes While Rendering!
