In 6.0.2 Nightmare - Crashes, Lock-Ups

I updated to 6.0.2 and I have a full length doc that I'm editing. It was shot using the Canon H1 24f. All the footage (roughly 125 hours) has been logged to two LaCie Biggest FW800 drives. I bought a FW800 card to hopefully make things faster.
Anyway, when I load the project it locks up for about 5 minutes after loading and spins the beach ball. When it let's go, I'm all set... UNTIL I render. I get about 25% through it and CRASH! The program goes away, I go to my desktop and I'm screwed.
I removed all the render files first (in Render Manager) to try and fix it. I did do a slow-mo on a clip that may be causing it.
Please oh please let someone else shed light on a possible solution.

Couple of obvious things: All drives formatted macosextended? Plenty of empty space on both scratch disks and startup disk? Run diskwarrior on all drives (if you don't have diskwarrior, run the repair utility part of the disk utility. You'll need to start from your os install disks to repair the startup disk (although you can analyze it without repairing it even if you've started up from it).
You may have a piece of corrupt media. Take scratch drives offline, and start project. Mount drives and gradually do a reconnect until the problem appears.

  • Geforce Nightmares - crash/lock-ups

    Hi,
    I'll start this story from the beginning so you can see the full frustration of my problem. If you do not want to read the introduction skip straight past the line of **'s to the problem itself:
    I bought an MSI ge-force 4 TI 4600 a few weeks ago and it didn't work, the card sprayed pixels on the screen at any oppertunity, failed to draw icons, windows, etc. correctly half the time and refused to run any 3D application period.
    I spent many an hour trying to get the card to work, flashing the BIOS (my motherboard and the Card), tryin every driver i could find and I even bought a new 400W PSU to replace my 300W PSU in a bid to get the thing to work. I had no Joy and MSI agreed to take the card back for Repair (they refer to it as an 'RMA'.
    Earlier today the card came back from MSI....only it didn't, they'd very generously upgraded my TI4600 to a new boxed FX5900SP. Like a small child at Xmas I ripped the thing out of it's box and proceeded to jam it into my case, plug it into the PSU and fire up my computer...
    All seemed fine except The card seemed to draw text incorrectly and sometimes leave closed windows visible on the screen etc. I pressumed this was just because the proper drivers weren't yet installed so i inserted the driver disk and began installing when my computer crashed!
    I rebooted, installed the drivers again, rebooted again, and all seemed fine except that my computer seemed to be running slower than normal. My desktop was being drawn correctly and there were no noticeable defects. My MSN fired up & i began to talk to a contact when my computer completely froze.
    I rebooted again and after about 5 mins it froze again. I reinstalled the drivers it did it again. Occassionally rather than freezing, my monitor would just flick off with the message "no signal". I installed the latest Nvidia drivers and this did nothiing, i also tried the MSI drivers with no effect.
    I tried to flash the Cards BIOS using MSI live update but my computer came up with memory errors so i went into DOS and flashed it manually but this also had no effect.
    I have no idea what to do and i really don't want to send another card back to MSI, anyone know what my problem could be?
    Thanks! (Comp specs below)

    I suspect that your problem lies within the motherboard, RAM, and possibly the power supply.
    I would look at the power supply a little closer, please list specs, ie, Make Model and the corresponding amperages for the +12v, +5v, & 3.3v lines. It should be on the sticker of the power supply.
    Secondly the RAM may have errors try  Memtest86 or the motherboard just does not like the GF or FX cards period, probably related to the mobo's chipset but since you didn't give any details, it's hard for me to even speculate at this point.
    Personally I would look into a quality motherboard that supports your CPU and DDR RAM.
    8X is not a big deal here and is not even really being used with any current games, the differences currently between the 4x and 8x is that of a fly's peenee

  • IPhone 5 lock-ups and crashes after iOS7 upgrade

    On Wednesday I upgraded to iOS 7. While I like the new look and functionality, I have experienced a couple of OS crashes/lock-ups in a way that I had to force-reboot my iPhone by holding the sleep&home buttons.
    There are two situations where this happens for me: First, when the phone is locked (4-digit passcode), I swipe to unlock, then I try to type the passcode, but the device is completely locked up and doesn't accept any input. It doesn't react on the sleep and home buttons either.
    The second situation is when answering a call: Phone rings, I swipe the green button to answer, then the screen goes black and the device seems completely bricked until force-rebooted.
    Case 1 has happened 4 times so far since wednesday, case 2 happened three times (answering three different phone calls).
    The device is an iPhone 5 64GB I bought in October 2012.
    None of this ever happened to me before the upgrade to iOS 7.
    Doesn anyone have the same issues? Where can I get help on this?

    I have this issue as well and I did a hard reset and restore from icloud and did the same from my computer and neither of them fixed the issue. Of course I would be outside of my warranty period. My phone continues to crash at least 4 to 5 times a day. Please help us!!!

  • Crashes and Lock-ups

    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
    Cheers,
    Tim

  • HP Pavilion Elite e91804 experiencing lock-ups and crashing after LWSEP

    1. Product name and number: HP Pavilion Elite e91804
    2. Operating system: Windows 7 64 bit
    3. No error message (other than blue screen)
    4. My most recent change was sending my computer in for the Limited Warranty Service Enhancement Program, and receiving a new motherboard.
    Before I sent my computer in for the LWSEP I was experiencing lock-ups and crashes only when I was multi-tasking (playing video games, listening to music, and having tabs open in firefox).
    So I sent my computer in for the LWSEP to receive a new motherboard to fix these crashes, however after receiving my computer from them, the lock-ups and crashing have not been fixed and, in fact, have gotten worse. My computer will now lock-up and crash whenever I attempt to stream anything, be that music, video, etc. I can still occasionally play video games, assuming that I am doing nothing else, and that my computer cooperates with me (not locking up), but this only happens about 1/3 of the time.
    My main confusion is that sending my computer in was supposed to fix my problem, not make it worse. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • 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.

    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.

  • System lock ups

    lately i've been having a lot of system lockup problms.. you know the ones where that spinning rainbow balls shows up on the screen. you know i never had a problm running adiumx firefox and itunes at the same time, but lately i don't know if its the updates or what, but i'm getting a lot of lock ups, to the point where i can't play videos on itunes, or quicktime without it freaking out and freezing every couple seconds, or when trying to load firefox it take 10 15 secs, and then forever to actually get to a webpage, i do notice when i turn of growl i don't have as many problms, any suggestions.
    powerbook g4
    mac os x 10.4.8
    1ghz processor
    512mb ddr sdram
    80 gig hd
    dvd/cd-rw
    got all the latest mac updates, and updates of most of the softwares i have on this computer
    12" in powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    teckie:
    RAM can very likely be a part of your issue. If your 12" PB is one of the last 3 models it came with 256 MB of RAM. Considering the issues you are having you should consider maxxing it out to 1.25 GB.
    ali b. mentioned your HDD. If your HDD has less than 10-20% free space it can contribute to the issue you are experiencing. It also increases the risk of directory issues, consequent data loss and even a crashing HDD.
    Thirdly, I am not sure what maintenance procedures you use. But you should consider at least running Unix Maintenance scripts using a utility like MacJanitor, and doing Directory repairs and replacement with a utility like Disk Warrior. In addition, if you have not booted from your install disk and run Repair Disk recently, I suggest you do so.
    Take a look at Gulliver's article on Mac OS X Maintenance for some very helpful tips and resources: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607640&#607640
    Post back with further questions or comments.
    Good luck.

  • P7N SLI Platinum lock-ups

    My specs:
    Q6600 stock speed
    Kingston HyperX pc8500 2x 1gb. I manually set it to it's rated timings, voltage and frequency. I have also tried different ram, from Exceleram and it makes no difference.
    2x Asus EN8800GT 512mb cards (tried using just one card too, tried switching to a different 8800gt card from sparkle too, no change.)
    HDD: Have tried several hard drives, pata and sata from probably all the manufacturers, i dont see why i need to post their specs since they problem persists nomatter what hdd i use.
    Windows XP SP3 proffessional.
    nothing else is in the system, i removed every piece of hardware, like sound card, optical drive, etc. to isolate the problem.
    Power supply: Thermaltake ToughPower 700W
    BIOS Version: the beta bios posted on this forum that supposedly fixes the video corruption bug (it doesnt). Also tried 1.0 and 1.1
    The problem:  random lock-ups. Sometimes it doesnt happen for 2 days and then BAM! Its happening every 15 minutes now. It might stop happening for another 12 hours and start locking up again. It only ever happens when im working in 2d applications like browsing, using messenger or IRC, watching videos on youtube or in a media player, or just moving files around or anything mundane like that.  it once happened when i wasnt touching the keyboard or mouse at all, i was waiting for some files to finish copying over LAN.  I also get the famous video corruption but it is EXTREMELY rare, like once a month.  It crashed the last time the video corruption appeared, once i tried to click the player to pause, the system crashed.  The system will never lock up while playing games, i play medieval II total war for days without any problems.  The store i bought the p7n from tested it for me and they said it worked fine, but they used an ATI card so that may be a clue?  Then again, they are really incompetent and didnt run the right set of tests, and ignored what i had told them about the nature of the crashes.
    Detailed description of the events:  System freezes, first everything except the mouse is frozen but if i try to click with the mouse, it freezes too and the screen flashes a black screen every few seconds.  it never recovers and i have to shut it down by holding the power button for several seconds.  some of the 2d graphics in windows get corrupted with artifacts, and the mouse does get heavily corrupted usually.
    What i've tried:
    I thought the mobo was defective but it isnt, i got a new mobo from the store and it has the same problem. 
    Tried working my way through every combination of memory timings, frequencies and voltages that i thought might make a difference but it has no difference on the crashes.
    All the hardware works perfectly in my Asus P5N32-E SLI motherboard (i bought this msi mobo for some different reasons that i wont go into here), so theres nothing wrong with any of my components.
    The only item i've not had the oportunity to switch with a different one is the power supply, but again, it works perfectly with all other motherboards that i've tried.
    Is this possibly related to the video corruption bug?  Does anyone have any idea when the next bios release is due? Please help, it sucks to buy an expensive motherboard that just doesnt work. i'll have to buy a 3rd sli mobo if I cant fix this.
    PS:  Is it not possible to regulate fan speed for sysfans connected to the mobo's fan connectors? My asus mobo had great fan speed controls in the bios, if this one doesnt have any such options, i call that ridiculous.

    I appreciate your effort, guys. I've tried running the memory in 800mhz and on auto timings and on some other timings too (i was kinda desperate and i messed around with the memory configuration for days with no success), and tried auto volt (it gets set to 1.8 which the memory is rated for at 800mhz) and tried 1.9 and 2.0 and 2.1 and 2.2 and i've tried completely different memory modules too that i borrowed, and tried running in single channel with both modules and running just 1 module.  none of these experiments had any effect on the crashes :\.  But don't you think this could be related to the video corruption bug? I always thought it was, since this problem doesnt seem to happen for me when there is an ATI card in the system.  Not that my 8800gt cards are defective in any way either, they are rock solid on my other motherboard. 
    I have one more theory, some weird inexplicable compatibility problem between this particular PSU and this particular mobo. Think it's a possibility? The psu is the only thing i have not switched out for another component, every other component i have switched for another one that was known to be working fine.
    also, there is the extremely distant possibility that the issue is caused by an issue that the mobo might have with BOTH the kingston and the excelleram modules that i tried, however this seems far-fetched. but this problem is a fact and SOMETHING is causing it. i've eliminated almost everything i can think of.

  • Random Restarts and lock ups

    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.

  • Beach balls and lock ups

    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...

  • Verify Disk results, confusing.. Can they be the cause of system lock ups?

    I have been experiencing strange freezes on my Mac Pro 2008 system.
    My boot disk is a 50% full 128GB SSD from Crucial and is running beautifully fast however for the past couple of weeks my system often freezes for anything from 3 seconds to 30 seconds and then the Finder restarts.
    After the Finder restarts everything continues running smoothly. As if nothing ever happend, no error reports, no apps crashed, nothing.
    I have verified disk permissions and verified the disk itself in Disk Utility but I am not quite sure what these results mean and if they could be the cause of these random lock ups.
    here are the results:
    Verify permissions for “Boot Disk”
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Group differs on "private/etc/hostconfig", should be 0, group is 20.
    Permissions verification complete
    Verifying volume “Boot Disk”
    Performing live verification.
    Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
    Checking extents overflow file.
    Checking catalog file.
    Missing thread record (id = 5888152)
    Incorrect number of thread records
    Checking multi-linked files.
    Checking catalog hierarchy.
    Invalid volume directory count
    (It should be 184294 instead of 184295)
    Checking extended attributes file.
    Checking volume bitmap.
    Checking volume information.
    The volume Boot Disk was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
    Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
    I would really appreciate it if someone that knows their way around this stuff could help me troubleshoot this.
    As for the problem of the system locking up it does not happen in the same application consistently.
    Often it happens in Firefox but it could equally often happen when working in Photoshop, browsing files in the Finder or trying to access the Spotlight search via the keyboard shortcut.
    When the system locks up I get the spinning beach ball and I can still move the mouse and click and even still access CMD+TAB app switcher, switch spaces and all those things, just applications become non responsive.
    If you need any more details please let me know.
    Thanks for reading,
    Jannis

    These are innocuous errors that you may safely ignore. However the disk error is a problem. Do the following:
    Repairing the Hard Drive
    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 and Leopard.) 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, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro 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.

  • Mplayer/Vlc hard lock ups

    Hello forum,
    i have been using Archlinux for some months now and so far the only issue is that Mplayer/Vlc seems very unstable. For some time i didn't have any problems but I guess that after upgrading glibc or glib that I experience hard lock ups in the kernel (flashing lights on the keyboard). Only happens when watching movies in mplayer/vlc. No error logs indicating what the problem could be. Anyone experiencing the same?
    Running Arch64 (duh...) on a dual opteron 250, xfce4/e17, quadro-fx 1100
    Thanks for help,
    Ulf

    Well i figured it was due to glibc, it happened before and i was already building/trying a new distro. Luckily the arch linux guys posted a message about the mplayer/flash/firefox/zlib/glibc bug. After the updates it worked again but then there was yet another release of glibc and it broke things again...Guess i should be more carefull with updating.
    If i experience more crashes i'll try recompiling zlib, ffmpeg, vlc and mplayer (in that order).

  • Pages '08 lock ups

    A couple months ago, I started having issues with Pages '08. It would lock up while I was typing, or even something as simple as scrolling the page down. All I would get was the little rainbow wheel and a locked up document. At first I thought it was just the one file I was working on, but now it happens all the time. It locks up so bad sometimes that it forces a restart of the computer. No other programs are having this issue. Should i just reinstall Pages '08 from the disc or what. Cause this has made my main wordprocessing program completely useless. I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.8

    Update:
    Well I think I got it figured out. For some reason, the spell checker was causing the problem. I've always had it set to "Check spelling as you type", but for some reason that is now causing Pages to lock up. So my work around is to simply turn off the "Check Spelling as you type" option, and now there are no more lock ups.

  • Terca 9100 lock ups

    Hi!
    I recently got my hands on a second hand tecra 9100. I got it free since the previous owner complained about random lock ups or freezes. As i've testaed the laptop myself i experienced this aswell. It can freeze just about anytime but i've never had it running flawlessly for more than 20 minutes i recon. Sometimes it also refuses to start up. I do not know if this is a lock up in the initial startup sequence.
    Anyway it will lock up even in bios and i have dissassembled it and put it back together, replaced the RTC battery (with a non rechargable) and removed any hardware not crucial for useage (i.e WiFi card, extra RAm modules, modem card).
    I'm clueless, anyone got any idea of what to try next?
    Regards Simon

    I think you cant fix it by yourself
    In your case the ASP should check the notebook and if necessary replace the faulty part/device.

  • R835 P56X lock ups

    From day 1 (purchased a month ago) I'm still having lock ups with this laptop!  After few hours of use the screen goes black (sometimes blue), if I try to revive it the fan kicks in at full speed sounding like a leaf blower!
    I've reinstalled Win7 with the latest drivers, installed a new SSD instead of the HD and this problem keeps re-occuring randomly (daily)!
    I certainly would appreciate any ideas!

    I replaced my HDD with a OCZ Vertex 3 SSD for my R835-P56x.  It boot in seconds and runs nice and fast, but I get lock-ups and BSOD after several hours (as described above).  Not sure if it had the problem with the HDD, because I didnt use the PC very long before upgrading.  I am also running a 800MB Dataram RAM Disk (Version 3.5.130) for browser cache, which I suspect could be the culprit.   My bios is 3.90 (7/31/2012).
    Portege R835-P56x, i5 2410M, 16GB RAM, Vertex 3 SSD 240GB.
