Lightroom 4.2 completely crashes my system

Since Version 4 Lightroom completely crashes my system if i try to develop or export images.
I thought that 4.2 will turn that issue of.
But, same **** again. Lightroom 4 is completely unusable for me.
Win 7 32 bit.
Anyone else got that problem?

An Application cannot crash an OS, unless there is a bug in an OS component.  Application can crash at any time, the OS traps that and shuts it down, AS ITS DESIGNED TO DO. If the OS crashes there is something else wrong.
So, Run windows update until there are no more updates suggested.  If you haven't installed service pack 1, do so immediately.  Update the video driver, after that.
If  you are overclocking the CPU, RAM or GPU, back off on the overclock.

  • Lightroom 2.5 is crashing my entire OS....

    I recently rebuilt my entire pc with a quad core processor and 4GB of RAM.  I am still running windows XP 32 bit, however.  I have absolutely no issues of crashing from any other program.  I can process 50+ images in CS3 using the Topaz Adjust plug in and it will eat up a ton of memory in the process.  However, while editing images in LR 2.5 it started to just crash.  Then, I would get a LR crash whil exporting.  At first, no big deal I just restarted LR and went back to work.  Now, LR is crashing my entire OS.  There have been three crashes with no blue screen and two with the blue screen.  The first BSOD stated memory_management.  After some research I upgraded my power supply.  Well, just hours after the new power supply I got another BSOD and it was a 0x8E stop code and the ONLY program I was working with was LR.  So, just to test things out I did disk check...no errors....RAM test....no errors....no viruses....nothing but system crashes while working with LR 2.5.
    The problem with these crashes is that it crashes the system before it can create a crash dump file.  I did find one error report that the failing module was the ui.dll.
    Should I uninstall the entire program and download an earlier version?
    Should I just wait until I can upgrade to a 64 bit OS?
    Or, is there something I am doing wrong when working in LR to cause it to eat up so much memory?
    Thanks in advance,
    TG

    >> I'm almost certain because I literally just got my pc back on the 22nd of last month.  The techs said they updated every driver I had to the most up to date one.  My video card is Radeon HD 4350.  The driver ver is 8.640.0.0 and has not changed recently.
    >>
    >> I should give a little more history....I have a virus and the techs completely repaired by entire OS.

    Repaired, or they completely wiped the HD, and re-installed everything
    from cratch? Depending on how bad the virus is, I wouldn't trust that
    that all the hooks that a virus can get into your system have been
    completely removed. A wipe and re-install is always the best
    procedure, with a virus-infected PC.

    >> I had just bought LR 2.5 and had not even used it once.  I got the pc back issue free with an entirely repaired OS.  All programs run without fail except LR.

    Any of them stress the video driver?

    I'd try uninstalling the driver for the video, and just using the
    generic MS video driver. And see if it works then.

  • Mkfs.ntfs crashes the system

    Hi all,
    Here I am again with a weird kernel & swap bugs! But I'm pretty sure the kernel itself is okay, so newbie corner it is.
    Here the problem: Doing this (/dev/sdb is a 16 GB USB key I want to format)
    % sudo mkfs.ntfs /dev/sdb1
    Cluster size has been automatically set to 4096 bytes.
    Initializing device with zeroes: 2%^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C
    Crashes my system in 30 seconds. As soon as I type the command, the computer gets extremely laggy, cursor barely reacts to mouse movement, can't ^C the command, few seconds later X is completely locked up and I switch to another terminal. Shortly after logging in, I lost acces to the terminal as well (too laggy), so I just unplugged the USB key, very bad idea from me:

    I disabled swap and now I'm able to mkfs,ntfs, but it takes the whole available RAM (-/+ buffers is 1963MB). I'm typing this and this is the only tab I can open, if I dare try to open anything else system goes unstable (random app freezes like xfce4-panel, comes back if I close something else).
    TL;DR: Question: Why does mkfs.ntfs crashes the system? How can I prevent it from doing that?

    I don't know if this helps, here's more dmesg:

    It does seem to use usb-storage as expected. I will try to find my other drive I lost somewhere on my desk and see if it does the same, I don't remember having my other drive going crazy like that.
    It also seems like dd works fine on it (probably flushes the buffer on every write), I'll keep testing on my side...

  • Lightroom 3.3 Performance/Crash Issues

    During the process of tweaking approximately 200 images in Lightroom’s develop module (primarily the Crop, Spot Removal, Camera Calibration and Lens Correction tools) several issues were encountered:
    -         Sluggish cursor response after adjusting ~30 photos
    -         Intermittently having the application enter a ‘No Responding’ state
    -         One occurrence of the ‘An unknown error occurred’ being displayed
    -         One instant of the application crashing
    Several hours were spent attempting to define a recipe for the problem resulting in nothing definitive. Issues always appeared when application consumes more than 1.3G of RAM. Detail captured from the system included below:
    Platform details (this snapshot was taken when the application had entered a sluggish state):
    Lightroom version: 3.3 [711369]

    Tom,
    It may be necessary (reading the trail below) to start another thread entitled - "Definition of a release candidate - discuss..."
    I for one had terrible trouble running LR3.0 (the LR3.0RC was fine), so whatever changed between the LR3.0 and the LR3.0 final caused all measure of upset with my image processing on my machine.
    I had -
         Video flickering - particularly when moving from library to develop with large tiff's (80MB) selected
         Very slow rendering
         Adjustment brush very slow to update, causing over runs while using it
         Random lock-ups and reboots
    Since the upgrade to LR3.2 things are better, I get the occassional flicker, rendering is still slow, as is the adjustment brush but the occasional lock up's seem to have disappeared.
    I'm running Windows 7 ultimate, 4GB Ram, AMD Athlon dual core and have lightroom loaded in 64 bit mode.
    If you want to know anything about my hardware, drivers, set up or otherwise, just e-mail me. I have not updated to LR3.3RC yet as I believe it cannot run alongside LR3.2 on a windows machine.
    Best Regards
    Phil

  • Xf86-video-nouveau complete crash

    So i installed xf86-video-nouveau using "pacman -S xf86-video-nouveau"....
    and my system completely crashed.... my whole screen went blank and eventually it goes like this: http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd4 … 1343336151
    I can't issue any commands, the whole system is rendered unusable...
    An interesting thing is, when I run gparted and try and use it's graphical interface, I get the exact same screen. If i choose to use the command line interface, everything is fine and dandy.
    My system specs are:
    Asus G51J series
    i7-720
    nvidia geforce gts 360M.
    (i suspect you only really need my graphics card....)

    oh oops :x no question... my bad. I was wondering how i could get my gui working and if anybody else had this error ><
    I coudlnt' really find anything about complete system failures from the wiki...

  • Lightroom 4.1 keeps crashing with an error message.

    Sorry, new to the forums and Lightroom. Please bear with me.
    Lightroom 4.1 keeps crashing. I can't get any editing done on my client's photos. I get an error message (no error number given) stating something along the lines of "encountered an error ad must close."
    I would be extremely grateful for any help offered.
    Thank you in advance!

    Any changes to your system lately?
    You may want to remove LR 4.1 and install the latest 4.x version which is 4.4.1 Windows / Mac and is a free update.
    This will not harm your data.

  • Why does firefox 7 crashes the system if Quadro NVS 135M graphics driver is installed?

    Why does firefox 7 crashes the system with a Quadro NVS 135M graphics cards installed?
    It happens immediately after opening Firefox on a two screen system. You get a message saying the Graphics Driver stopped responding, but that it managed to recover, but after a while the system freezes completely. You can't even CTRL+ALT+DEL.

    I get this too on with my nVidia GTX460 card. In my case the screen goes black. It happens once every few days, and for a while I could not figure out why. I was forcing a shutdown to get the screen back.
    But I put the computer to sleep and woke it up, since that restarts the video, and this let me see what was wrong. The only error message is it reports that Firefox hung. There is nothing else in the Event logs.
    I'm running Windows 7 with all the updates from Windows Update, and my video driver is 285.62, but his also happened with the 260.26 driver.
    I imagine this is happening a lot, but people aren't able to isolate the cause.
    I'm looking for a fix, not a bypass.

    I assume you know where your catalogue file (the lrcat file) is located. In the same folder is a previews lrdata folder which you should delete or rename in Explorer, then start LR again.
    If I've made incorrect assumptions above, sorry, and we'll go back over it from the start.

  • Premiere pro cc 2014 crashing my system

    I have a new Mac book pro (2014) 16 gbs ram.. everything is upgraded to max. downloaded the new premiere pro CC 2014. and it's crashing my system every time.
    it takes about 4 mins. with the spinning ball. Then all the processes and plugins load in.  Then it says "premiere pro couldn't find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers
    and start again" WHICH IS FREAKING IMPOSSIBLE SINCE I AM ON A MAC BOOK PRO. So sick and tired of companies not working out glitches in this crap. Could someone please help. I am so
    angry and frustrated here.
    Sean

    Somewhat figured it out and extremely frustrated.
    I created another new user with administrative privileges. When i did this i got AE CC 2014 and Premiere Pro CC 2014 working. However, they will not work in my regular main account which has
    administrative priviledges.  On the phone with ADOBE they told me that it was a permissions issue and that it was Apple's Problem. Which I CALL B.S.!!!
    I tried to repair permissions in disk utility knowing full well that it wouldn't fix the issue. How on earth would apple know what the permissions errors in folders or files are for Adobe products!!
    I was very angry and upset with the Adobe technical support for this issue.
    On the new mac pro i am using i was able to create the new administrator account and erase the old administrator account since i have 0 documents or old data that i have on it other than programs.
    However, on my mac pro. I have well over 15 years of data on it including 100 GB of music, etc... that i simply can't just erase away.  Not too interested in working on 2 different accounts either.
    Not sure what to do now and i am extremely frustrated.

  • Windows XP crashes and system restarts when I try to open Itunes 6

    I tried to ask the people at Apple support what was going on. But they didn't seem to know. My system restarts when I try to open Itunes.

    * stop: 0x00000050 (0XBB9EA29E,0X00000000,0X8057DA81,0X00000002)
    hmmmm. okay ... do you have an early version of Roxio CD Creator 5 installed on that PC?
    i've seen this show up a few times. one of the early versions of Easy CD Creator 5 actually isn't compatible with XP:
    Easy CD Creator 5.0 Does Not Function In Windows XP
    ... but sometimes the first time people know about this is when the PC starts throwing a 0x50 at them them they try to launch itunes or (of all things) plug in an ipod ...
    if that doesn't seem to be a factor, another thing to try is vigorous spyware and virus scans (with fresh definitions). both haxdoor and sdbot can make PCs suddenly start throwing 0x50s after new software installs.
    but if those turn up blank, let's try getting a minidump on the crash to the Discussions Hosts so they can throw it over the fence to the Apple Engineers for a look. (thanks to toonz for teaching me this one.)
    To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
    And then send it to a Discussions Host. It doesn't hurt to put the URL to this discussion thread, so that whoever gets it has some context. Also give as much information about the context of the crash (in the email) as you can.
