Frequent crashes (/questions/970544)

In the last week Firefox has started crashing on a regular basis. I removed it and reinstalled the newest version, which, by the way caused it to crash more often. I have run malware scans and run virus scans daily. My reports of the crashes don't always go through, but I have never received any response to the ones that do. I am doing job searches and this is very frustrating as many times I am in the middle of a detailed job application and I lose it when the crash occurs.

If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more recent crash reports that have a "bp-" prefix:
*bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
You can find the Report ID of recent crash reports on the "Help > Troubleshooting Information" page (about:support).
*Click the "All Crash Reports" button on this page to open the <b>about:crashes</b> page and see all crash reports.

  • Frequent Crashes - Running, Exiting, While in Block Diagram...

    I am suffering from frequent crashes and lockups of LabVIEW 8.5 Base version. I have not been able to pin down the root as the occurances may happen when my program is running , or when I try to exit, or when working in a block diagram. It seems like it is more likely to occur in and around vi's created using the dll conversion wizard. The vi's are for the API for Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART configuration. In my test the device powered on an off several times and so appears and disappears several times, and this gets repeated as new devices are tested.
    How do I track this down?
    How do I practice "safe" programming to avoid unexpected occurances that crash LabView?

    Hi MG,
    Are you using the Import Shared Library Utility from Tools >> Import >> Shared Library (.dll)?  This is a tool within LabVIEW that can be used to convert shared libraries to VIs.
    In response to your most recent question, by controlling or adding a timeout for the COM (USB) communication you would be able to stop a portion of the process or the entire VI. This is because when the timeout value is exceeded this initiates an error which will propagate to the subsequent code and prevent any further operations from executing.  In order to stop this error chain from continuing to the end of the code a General Error Handler VI can be used with the COM timeout error code wired to the 'exception code' terminal to ignore this error for future code execution.
    Hopefully, this is a possible solution for your application.  If you need any further clarification, please let me know.

  • Experiencing frequent crashes in Firefox

    Hi guys,
    I've been experiencing frequent crashes in Firefox for the past three months. I initially posted about the issue over a month ago here were I go into it in detail: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/952596#answer-414579
    I got a really helpful response from iamjayakumars, he identified that my problem was a virus that could be found in a dll file named: erijbbfs.dll.
    I followed his advice about attempting to remove it and made hidden folders and files visible, but as of yet I can't find this .dll file. Googling the virus also turns up a blank.
    I know this problem is a wider malware issue I have and isn't solely related to Firefox, but I was hoping someone here could help me out or at least point me in the direction of where I could find further help - as I said in my previous post, I've already formatted my computer and that doesn't seem to have nuked the virus, so now I'm at a bit of a loss.
    Cheers,
    Matt

    hello matt, to be honest, i don't know how he made the connection to malware - a file named "erijbbfs.dll" is referenced nowhere in the crash reports. could you post some more recent IDs, maybe we will get a clearer picture then.

  • Frequent crashes - using 900,00k + memory, many tabs open - is memory usage an issue?

    I am having frequent crashing of firefox, several times a day.
    I do have many tabs open, 100+, and memory usage is around 900,000 and up.
    I am wondering if the memory usage is causing the crashing, or something else I can fix?
    My task manager says I am using 67% of available memory.

    These crash reports can be hard to interpret, but at least the six from 9/16 seem to be "out of memory" (OOM) errors. Assuming that is the case, the question is what might be done about that.
    This support article has a range of suggestions, including not having more than 100 tabs open and possibly useful add-ons. [[Firefox uses too much memory (RAM) - How to fix]]. In a bug report, I also saw an extension that displays the usage on the add-on bar, which might help in keeping an eye on it.
    I noticed you have several dom.ipc.plugins.* preferences set to False, which may force some plugins to run in firefox.exe rather than plugin-container.exe. The design of the process isolation feature is that plugin crashes will take down plugin-container.exe rather than firefox.exe. It may also be that overriding process isolation is ballooning the memory usage by firefox.exe rather than more evenly distributing it between the two processes. You may want to restore those settings to their defaults and see whether that helps.
    Finally, to reduce the size of your sessionrestore.js file you could omit personal data (e.g., cookies, form data), but this will make it a bit harder after a crash to get back to where you were.

  • MacBook Uni OSX 10.64, Slow 40+min boot, frequent crashs, bootcamp fine

    Bought a used 13inch Macbook uni body, looks exactly like the new pro… system came with after market ram and hard drive, I am a new user to the Mac platform.
    Issues;
    *Slow boot*
    - displays white spinning wheel for 1 hour, loads partially then freezes for 15 mins.
    *Frequent crashes*
    - Crashes randomly … mostly when doing too much … even crashes when only running one of any browser… viewing finder … or searching anything.
    *Will not load some utilities*
    - cannot load users, disk utility ect
    *Won’t reboot*
    - wont reboot, just displays background image with not icons … shows mouse, sounds quite.
    *First noticed;*
    - I first noticed an issue when I saw a update, … walked away during the process’s and noticed the system was stuck (see wont reboot) … decided after some time to hard boot … then system hung for 40 mins in white screen.
    *Other information;*
    - Luckily enough the used computer came with boot camp, I am a gamer when then system first ‘hung’ in OSX … I could still game ect … but the issue got increasingly worse … made me think it was hardware … but in boot camp I can save, install play half life to my hearts content with zero issues … boots fast ect.
    *Solution / question;*
    - Fix issue without reinstalling (down time is bad) or reinstall osx… if re-installing OSX … could I backup my existing installed software?

    Everything that is going on with your MacBook makes me think you have a bad ram problem except for bootcamp behaving normally which makes me think it is a hard drive corruption problem, but it could be both.
    If you can get it to stay up long enough to run Disk Utility from the utilities folder under applications, I would start there. Run it in repair mode under the first aid mode and it may solve some problems.
    If your system is too unstable, you may need to use an external bootable volume or bootable DVD. The original OS X installation disks would be one option and you may have a TechTool Deluxe DVD if the original owner got an Apple Care plan and passed the disks along.
    You can boot from an external volume or DVD by setting them as the start up disk in the system preferences under the apple menu if your system is stable enough for that, or can force to boot from the DVD by holding down the C key while you boot.
    If you boot from the the installation DVD you could connect an external USB hard drive and install a fully functioning installation of OS X on the external drive. If the system remains unstable when booting from DVD or external hard drive, you have a hardware problem, possibly the RAM if it has been replaced. If you are stable from another boot volume, I would then run Disk Utility, TechToolDeluxe if you have it, and probably Memtest which is available as a free download from the internet.
    The RAM could still be the problem as MacBooks are somewhat notorious for acting funny if they have the wrong RAM installed. The unibody MacBook has 2 RAM slots and takes 1066 MHz DDR3 SO-DIMMS. You can select about this mac under the apple menu to get some of this info and then select more info to get the system profiler and select memory to get more details. This model officially supports up to 6GB of RAM (one 2 GB and one 4 GB) but I have been running with 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) with no problems. If the RAM is the wrong speed and is not 1066 or 1067 MHz when listed in the system profiler, or is not fully seated when installed it can cause some funny behavior.

  • Using Aperture 3.51 I am having frequent crashes and freez ups when editing Canon raw files?

    HI,
         I have an IMac with 4 G of Ram and am using Apeture 3.51. When trying to edit CS2 raw files I experience frequent crashes and freez ups of the whole computer. Any suggestions?

    You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor.  This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow.  What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
    Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer.  The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
    I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
    Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
    Printing Your Images
    There is also a good appendix on calibration:

  • Frequent Crashes after upgrading to ML (Macbook Pro 15" 2010)

    I have been experiencing numerous, frequent crashes ever since upgrading my computer (Macbook Pro, 15", 2010 model) to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. The crashes appear to be very random; they don't happen at startup and aren't associated with any particular application or action. For example, I once experienced a crash while opening a file in VLC. After restarting, I was able to use VLC without any problems, and instead experienced  a crash when opening a bookmark in Safari (which wasn't a problem earlier). In all cases, the screen turns black for a second and then the computer forcibly restarts.
    Below I have pasted the details of the error report that the computer wants to send to Apple. I've had nearly 20 of these since upgrading on Wednesday night, and I don't know if they are all the same. But hopefully someone can help me here; I don't know how to interpret this log in order to pinpoint what is causing the problem. This looks a lot like the "kernel panics" that others have reported, but I just don't know what that means or how to fix it.
    Also, I ran Software Update and am currently up-to-date.
    Thanks so much,
    Anthony

  • Frequent crashes with CS5.5 all of a sudden.

    Hi.  I've been running AE CS5.5 fine on my Pentium I7 Win7 12 gig RAM, clean system, but suddenly I'm running into frequent crashes that I'm trying to isolate.
    When it happens, it occurs when I try and do a RAM preview.  It renders the frames fine, but when I inturrupt it (keypad INS key) to play what it has, it sometimes says that it can't continue... saying something went wrong with Trapcode Particular, then the Tint filter, and then some other filter.  I don't think they are actually to blame.. just victims of something else.
    The system seems sluggish often, too.  Normally, it's fine, but (I would imagine) when the RAM is filling up with the previews, it sometimes acts like it's an ancient computer... very slow pause before reacting to anything.  Generally, a Purge All clears it up immediately, but I'm not sure why it is straining so often, with an I7 processor, 12 gigs of ram, and a clean system.  Wasn't doing that with any other projects, and I suspect it has something to do with this one.
    I THINK it might have been triggered by my inclusion of particles (although they are hardly enough to strain the system, and I've done this before fine).  Renders fine, no crashes.  Really, only just when I hit the keypad INS key to play a RAM preview.... and that's only about half the time.  Otherwise, it's working just fine.  So, it's seemingly random, although I suspect it's something with the RAM being eaten away as frames are stored as I jump around the timeline.
    I believe it wrote a diagnostic txt file somewhere, but I don't know where it put it, unfortunately.
    Sometimes, even a newly started AE and project load will crash immediately when I try and preview.
    Another possible clue...  I have audio files (.wavs mostly), and sometimes when I would view the waveforms, I get some sort of error there too, but it continues on just fine (showing the waveform).
    I'll often get the 'AfterEffects can't continue... Contact Adobe' window, with (0::42) at the bottom.
    Only other error I sometimes get is the 'AE can't continue: Damaged Item (26:311)' one... usually when I'm trying to save the crash file before it closes the app.
    Any suggestions as to where to begin?  Is that log file worth looking at?  If so, where would that be?  It's only happening sometimes... otherwise, it runs just fine (and has always rendered the whole scene no problem).
    Hope someone can help.  Sorry if this is yet another tediusly vague and all-to-familiar post!
    Thanks

    That I have yet to determine.  Certainly doesn't seem to crash if I take off the effects layers, such as particles.  I have to isolate each thing and see.  It's just difficult, since it only crashes SOME of the time, so it's hard to get an obvious cause/effect.
    As far as I know, I'm using the most current version of Particular.
    Seems a few things are running odd.
    AfterEffects definitely becomes very sluggish in its response to mouse clicks at points... an obvious delay after each action, as if it needs time to think of each action.  Seems to be a memory thing (as it's fixed with a purge), although I'm not sure why it reaches a point where AE is struggling to keep it's own interface responsive.
    Still getting occasional errors when I try and view waveforms of audio layers, although it continues on fine after the error message.  The error itself is kind of vague, so of no real help.
    Just did another full render test, and it does it perfectly fine every time.  Something to do with the RAM preview, it seems.  Seems RAM is acting up both in that sense (RAM preview) as well as the sluggishness AE sometimes gets into (seemingly after you have previewed and/or jumped around the timeline a lot, so (in both cases) a lot of frames have been stored.  Still not sure why it reaches a point where it's struggling.  Disk Cache is on, so it shouldn't 'run out of RAM' in that sense.  Really confused...  An I7 with 12 gigs of RAM shouldn't be struggling like that (...even though it's random and only occassional).  I was wondering if I have something configured wrong in the memory settings.

  • Logic Pro 9.1.8 + Mountain Lion 10.8.2 - Frequently crashes when using plug-ins

    I'm really hoping someone can help. I suspect this problem is new since I can't find a definitive answer.
    When using the third party plug-in Superior Drummer 2, Logic Pro 9.1.8 frequently crashes giving problem report 'Logic Pro quit unexpectedly while using the Superior Drummer plug-in' followed by details.
    This also happens when using Arturia Analog Laboratory. Similar problems have been reported by others using third party plug-ins.
    Some have suggested removing the folder /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ProKit.framework and then installing ProKit Update 7. I've tried this without success. Once removed, attempting to install it only launches the alert 'a newer version of this software is already installed', which it patently isn't. Removing it also prevents Logic Pro from launching and requires the reinstallation of Mountain Lion.
    Others say it's a problem with Mountain Lion and even Lion. Apparently, the above fix works with Snow Leopard but unfortunately, since I downloaded Snow Leopard from the app store, I can't revert back because it's no longer available.
    I don't know whether the problem is with the plug-ins, Logic Pro, or the operating system but I do know that this is not uncommon. I haven't yet found anything to implicate the plug-ins. All have been updated to their latest versions. I can not verify whether the plug-ins worked in previous incarnations, with a previous operating system or Logic Pro since I've only ever used them with Mountain Lion on a MacBook Pro Retina 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.
    The current cacophony of forum discussion is roughly sounding out Mountain Lion as being the issue.
    I'm in the dark here! HELP!!!

    The issue, according to other AAL users, is Arturia's drivers I am afraid to say.. The v1.5.2 ones work for some people but not others and they are waiting on a further update from Arturia to fix the issue. It isn't something that reinstalling ML or the Prokit for that matter..  fixes... unless you have some other issue with other plugins and software?

  • Frequent Crashes since updating to Yosemite.

    My Macbook Pro has been frequently crashing since upgrading to Yosemite (10.1). Nothing in particular seems to crash it and I'm not running any intensive programs. I'm usually just running a combination of Pages, Word, Preview, Mail, and Safari. I run an external monitor in addition to the laptop display and often use multiple desktops so I can have easy access to PDFs. The machine is older, but I wasn't having these problems under Mavericks. I only upgraded because I made the mistake of upgrading my iPad to iOS8 and enabling iCloud Drive. This prevented my Pages documents from syncing and upgrading to Yosemite seemed to be the only solution. I swapped out the hard drive for a SSD two years ago, which really sped things up. Even now, it runs quickly, as long as it doesn't crash or get stuck, which it has also been doing more frequently. I still have plenty of disk space left (50GB+), but I have noticed that the OS is using more memory. 
    Is there something I can do, or is it just time for an upgrade?
    Thanks for any suggestions,

    Thanks Linc.
    It hasn't frequently crashed insofar as it just "turns off," but if often freezes to the point where I need to force a shutdown. The most recent true crash was last Sunday. I've pasted the report below. But, there are several reports that end in .crash that I think refer to the forced shutdowns.

  • Frequent crashes in illustrator CS4 when performing undo

    Hello,
    I have two employees using two relatively new Windows Vista computers and CS4.  They have frequent crashes of illustrator when they undo too quickly, or sometimes just undoing slowly will cause a crash.  It is only these two computers that are having the problem.  We have 3 other 32 bit computers that never have a problem, it is just the newer 64 bit computers.  I tried deleting the preferences but that didn't help at all.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    JT

    Wade,
    Thanks for the input.  How do I get it to run as a 32 bit program?  I changed the compatability mode to Windows XP, but the problem is still occuring.  Is this the wrong way of going about it?
    Thanks,
    JT

  • Frequent Crashing

    Recently all of my applications crash frequently. I can't figure out why and I haven't seen any other topics in her with similar problems. The main culprits are Safari and iChat but everything else seems to crash easily also. I ran Disk Utility and repaired both permissions and my hard disk but it didn't seem to solve anything. Whenever I'm doing anything, and i mean anything, the color wheel will pop up and then that program will crash and it'll happen several times in a row. I thought it could also be a memory issue but I've got 11GB free on my hard drive. Any suggestions?

    sorry this reply is 2 months late, i hadn't checked back to the forum in a while.
    But yes I have run the repair disk from my software install DVD several times. I've corrected permissions several times also, somehow they seem to mess up a lot. i don't know what's going on with it. the programs are still constantly crashing but now i have the extra special addition of the entire computer just freezing up and i have to hold down the power button to manually restart it. i've deleted tons of my files so now i have 38GB of free space. I guess I'll just have to get accustomed to running one program at a time and saving my work every 2 seconds and just dealing with the frequent crashes.
    i've also found a few blogs that seem to blame the 10.4.9 os x update. i'm not sure if that could be it? i'm not sure if i should bother running a clean install and downgrading to 10.4.3

  • I'm wondering if anyone has noticed frequent crashing of apps that never crashed before, error messages in their internet connections, and anything else that just doesn't seem right?

    I am not able to upload or download any apps.  This has just happened since the 3rd of this month.

    The iPad does not upload apps.
    If you're having problems purchasing or downloading apps using the App Store app tell us what exactly happens when you attempt to purchase an app and what, if any, error messages to your get.

    Re: Any one else having trouble w/Safari frequently crashing the last week or two? Any cures? Mine is 4.1.3 Thanks

    Please post a copy of the latest crash report.
    Go to your Applications Folder and open your Utilities Folder. Open the application Console.
    In the left-hand column, click on Crash Reporter.
    Click on the small triangle under Crash Reporter in the l/h column and they will all be listed.
    Scroll down to the latest Safari report and click on it.
    Now click on the r/h column (which now only shows THAT crash report and then Command-a to copy it all.
    Come back here and Command-v it to post it here!
