Lock ups when gaming

I was playing World of Warcraft (no apologies) and I had my first lockup since OS 10.x came out. I thought it odd but figured I was due. I hard booted my machine and launched the game again. Less than two minutes later it did it again.
I fought with this for most of the night, even trying windowed mode so I could at least force quit the program, but it so locked up the machine I couldn't even do that. Assuming it was a WoW problem I went to their support page and tried all of their software based recommendations, including trashing the program and reinstalling, to no avail.
I left it alone for the night and tackled it again today, all day. I am apparently not the only one having this problem according to the WoW Mac support forums and as is typical everyone assumes it is something wrong with the game. I was inclined to agree since I could do anything else I wanted to do as far as work and Activity Monitor and AHT revealed nothing wrong. At a loss I did more research and have tried the following:
•Disabling Spotlight with Spotless (Shareware)
•Installing SMC Fan Control (Freeware) and cranking fan speeds up to 1400rpm
•Putting sound through Built-in Output
•Removing all unnecessary peripherals
•Disabled all known startup programs
•Ran only WoW with no other apps running
•Ran every non game app I have installed at the same time (at least 25 including CS3 Design Suite) without locking up
•Ran 30 video files at one time without locking up
Desperate I used Bootcamp and switched over to Windows XP, which I loathe, and went through the 2 hour installation process only to have it lock up while I was waiting in queue to log in to the game (about 2 minutes of the program being open).
I hard booted the machine into Windows again and loaded up Call of Duty 4 and it locked up on me too. So now I'm scared I actually have some sort of hardware problem and while I haven't had any problems with non game apps I'm afraid this could start messing with my work.
Console gives me nothing conclusive though I don't know what I'm looking for. Any help out there?

I find it hard to believe it is an overheating issue when it locks up on login queues. Thanks for the info about Windows but I'm not trying to hard to make things run on that side. XP was just a test.
I have run permission repair using Disk Utility and the Apple Hardware Test, neither finding anything to cause these sort of problems. I'm not trying to spend $100 on something (Disk Warrior) that may or may not fix the problem.
Are there any other tests I can do to narrow things down?

PSU causing lock ups when gaming? K9A2 Platinum

I am having black screen and occasionally grey screen lock ups when Im playing games. It can happen within 10 minutes or up to an hour. I have to press the power button to restart and dont get any windows errors or blue screen. I have no issues when watching videos or just tooling around. My PSU is a OCZ600MXSP and Im thinking its not up to spec. I have everything running stock. Is it likely my PSU doesnt cut it or is the black/grey screen freeze thing an cpu/gpu overheating issue?

All of my drivers are up to date (I do use driver sweeper as well). It happens pretty much in all games, from BFBC2 and TF2 to some crappy kid game my son plays online (Wizard 101?). Im not sure what the temps are under load but at idle they are good (cant recall what exactly they were but were in the proper temp range). My monitor has just finally died as Im typing this on my laptop (bad caps on power board ) so Ill test the temps while gaming when I can hook it up to my big LCD.
Could the lock up with no blue screen/error report indicate a component overheating?

Lock ups when idle

I've got my system set as below and I never have problems playing games, I can run prime95 for hours and any benchmark I can throw at it. But on occasion, in the middle of the night when I'm fast asleep, the entire system will freeze.
There really isn't any way for me to reproduce what happens, but my thought was it might have something to do with having the vcore set to HW in BIOS. This setting seems to lead to a kind of fluctuating voltage varying between 1.6 and 1.7. So I set the vcore to 1.65 in the BIOS (speedfan and MBM5 report it as 1.7, I wonder why that happens), any opinions on this being a fix for these nocturnal freezes.

No BSODS, no sleep/hibernate or what have you, power set to always on.
I should point out that this isn't necessarily a big problem. More of a curiosity. Its happened maybe 3 times in the last 5 months.
So it doesn't really effect anything. It's just a weird thing that everything runs so well but at almost at the opposite of what you'd expect, when the system is doing nothing and the temperatures are at the coolest they ever get in a 24 hour period, the computer locks up.
Now the only thing I can think of that would run at this time of day would be the System Restore automatic restore point creation, maybe that's it. Everything's cold and getting thrown into the system restore causes problems.
Thanks for the help but I can probably live with this mystery. Maybe changing the VCore voltage will keep this from happening again.
Right now more importantly I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my CD burner. Probaly has something to do with it being a 6 year old 4x job that should have been retired a couple of years ago.

System lock ups when using hard disks

At first I thought I had the same issue as in this thread however after reading his logs I decided that it is unlikely since the topic opener seems to be getting a bunch of
Apr 4 17:00:15 daxteriv slim[708]: (Do:882): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 46 was not found when attempting to remove it
, so I decided to start a new thread.
I am not getting anything in my logs when I look at them after the crashes. It seems as if whatever is causing the issue makes it impossible to write to the drives so nothing seems out of place until after it's too late, and quite obvious that something is wrong. The sole exception to this was some complaint about ata9.00, however this seems to have been a red haring since the complete removal of this drive solved nothing, though it did make the error go away.
I have run memtest, and prime95 (in windows since at the time I didn't want to boot my system) both coming back negative. I also checked for SMART errors, particularly UDMA errors. Again, negative.
Here are some previous threads of mine that I believe to be all related to the same issue:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195449
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=193937
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=192704
[edit3] My previous thought was that this was a btrfs issue, however now I think it may be more hardware related.[/edit3]
Last night I was writing urandom to a new drive and I woke up in the morning to see that it had stopped prematurely, but not due to lack of space. The system had not locked up completely, which was new, however, as soon as I did something that accessed the disks (tried using the Gnome Dash), all hell broke loose. I immediately hit the power button, which would start a shutdown. I didn't know about REISUB, or I would have tried that. In anycase the shutdown failed and I had to hard reboot.
The evening before I was playing games just fine and doing normal activities.
Also, the other day, while booted into the live cd I think it started to crash since it was acting extremely bizarre, but I shutdown, successfully, before it could do more than complain a lot. At the time I was in the middle of scrubbing a btrfs volume after a system lock up. I think, but am not certain, that I saw on my motherboard "A5" which, according to the manual indicates "SCSI reset", but I had an extremely bad viewing angle. I know neither if what I think I saw was correct, nor do I know if the system was again in the process of a meltdown.
In general there is no activity that seems to be able to instantly trigger this, though in each case, if my memory serves me well, there was a constant stream of data either to or from a HDD.
My set up is that I have 5 HDDs, and an SSD. One HDD has Windows, my fallback installation of Arch, and daily backups. Another drive, which I just installed a few days ago currently only has single 50GB btrfs partition that is not part of any sort of larger volume. I also have three other drives each with four parttitions each involved in a btrfs volume. At the top is a 175 GB volume in a RAID0 configuration, after that is a 25GB partiton in RAID1, then a 650GB partion (RAID1), and the remainder of the disk (about 80GB) is in single. The RAID0 is has games on it and sometimes for short term storage (a few hours), the 25GBx3 RAID1 is used for Arch as well my ~/.local, ~/.cache, ~/.thunderbird, ~/.mozilla, and ~/.config. The 50GB partition I mentioned is currently doing the job of this volume, and was not mounted last night, but has been before. The 650GBx3 is used for long term storage of just about everything, in particular ~ is mounted here. The single configured volume is used for downloads, storing ISOs and installers. The SSD is used for caching those partitions used in the RAID0 volume with bcache. I DO NOT think this is a bcache issue since the RAID0 volume has never had any errors.
My motherboard is a ASUS X79-DELUXE which has the SATA controllers: Intel X79 Express Chipset, Marvell 9230, ASMedia 1061.
[edit] Oh, I'm on kernel 3.19.2 and btrfs is 3.19.
[edit2] Also, I converted the RAID0 to a single in case that matters.
[edit4] I finished scrubbing and copied my "journalctl -b" output to pastebin. I can't see any thing that might raise any flags. http://pastebin.com/WXpbpTuc

nstgc : it's hard to tell if your problems are memory related, but memtst often needs multiple passes to detect errors.
How many passes did you let it make ?
Is it possible for you to take out say half of the memory chips and see if that changes anything ?

Window pop-ups when gaming

I bought a Y50 gaming laptop recently and am having an issue I can't seem to stop. When I am in a game (Team Fortress 2) often the last app I used just pops up and I have to ALT tab back into the game. First it was the Lenovo assistant so I uninstalled it, now it is the news, it seems to be the last web-based app I used.
I can't for the life of me figure out what keys I am pressing to activate it because when it happens I am typically pressing the left mouse button and direction keys (W,A,S,D). Since I used WIn7 prior to this I am guessing WIn 8 has some wonderful function/shortcuts I am aware of that is causing this to happen.
Any insight would be appreciated as this is quite annoying.

Maybe you are just pressing certain key combinations or shortcuts randomly. Check in the synaptics software to disable the touchpad when an external mouse is plugged in.
That is the only thing I can think of right now.

Machine freezez/lock ups when using password protected certificates in IE 11 Windows 8.1 Pro

When using certificates that have a password enabled and private keys we find the machine hangs up competly with the memory usage jumping to 99%. The main process being the Local Secuirty Authority Process that causes the machine to lock up. The work
around we have is to remove this certificate and import a new certificate making sure we un-tick the check box for private key password.
Not sure if this
KB2813237 is linked, but this hotfix is available for Windows 8.1 Pro OS.

Hi Simon,
You can try that suggestion and check whether it is solved and give your result, if there is any other issue, you can post it back.

How do I avoid crash/burn/lock ups when install FF3?

Hi, I've tried to install FF3 three times since it came out. Each time was a disaster, favorite bookmarks were erased and any attempt to do an internet search locked up the computer, it took weeks to solve each time. I've learned to hate and fear FF3, but now theres no choice. Help, please?
Now I have to install it, what can I do to make this go smoothly?
I've copied all my files and bookmakers to disk, just in case.
BTW I have a Del 3000, 5 years old, XP, with all its standard software, other than kodaks easyshare there are no difficult or demanding software added.
thanks Roger

Make sure that your security software (Firewall and Anti-virus) isn't blocking Firefox.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
See [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
If you keep having problems then do a clean reinstall.
Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall

How to fix freeze/lock ups when opening Burn tab under iTunes Preferences

Played around the past few nights with two PC's with the same problem after upgrading to iTunes 6.0. Would open burn tab under preferences and promptly lock up iTunes. Thought it was a driver problem, etc... Thanks to Toonz, here is what solved it simply for me on both PC's:
Run iTunes Help, CD Diagnostics, Run "CD diagnostics" and save output file from CD diagnostics somewhere on your PC (not even sure it's necessary to save file) and you should be able to view your burner tab and the CD/DVD drives preferences. Seems that iTunes CD diagnostics file gets corrupted, and needs updating after updating iTunes.

MBP13 - first lock-ups, now not even booting anymore

hi everyone,
after last weeks itunes update (could be coincidence) i have experienced some lock-ups when using my mbp. first for only a few seconds, but they grew longer and longer to the point, where it was unusable.
now it won't even boot. i get the startup sound, then the white apple screen for 30 mins. and then the light blue screen for about 4hrs (i shut it off after that).
does anyone else have this problem? any help is appreciated.
oh, running on 10.6.1 with all the latest updates installed.
thanks
frank

thanks for the reply.
i've tried the disc repair. failed.
it couldn't repair the drive in three tries and suggested to back up my data (which i can not do) and install 10.6 from scratch.
will do this later. but ****, my last back up is a few days old.
any idea what could have caused this? drive hardware?

2nd iPod Classic locking up when connecting to MacBook Pro

I'll sum up the lead-in story as best I can.
I have a 2010 MacBook Pro 13". Just got an new iPod Classic a couple weeks back. I discovered that when playing the iQuiz game, I had a few lock-ups (freezing). Then a handful of times, it locked up when connecting it to the MacBook for charging or syncing. It didn't lock up EVERY time. But about 1 out of every 4 syncs on average.
I naturally thought something was wrong with the Classic, and brought it into the Apple store when it was locked up, and they gave me a new one.
But now this one is doing the same thing. Occasional lock-ups when connecting to the MacBook Pro. Doesn't matter which USB port. And doesn't seem to matter if the computer has been on, or if it's a fresh boot.
What could be going on here? I doubt highly that both Classics I've gotten have the same exact issue with occasional lock-ups when connected to the computer. My MBP otherwise has given me no problems. And no problems with other USB devices, ever.
Any ideas?

Update: bought a new usb sync cable to try, and no change. the Classic locked up the first try with the new cable.

K8n neo2 platinum lock-ups

Hello everyone, well here is the deal, I ust built yesterday my first amd64 system, specs are as follows:
amd athlon 64 3200+ Clawhammer
512mb ddr400 (single stick)
120gb sata drive
1 dvd unit, 1 dvd-ram unit
geforce 3 ti 500 (i know, i have to replace it)
soundblaster live! 24-bit
stock case psu
Before that, i had the same config but with an athlon xp 2600 + witch an msi k7n2 delta2, it worked fine. But this one, as soon as i start gaming the game will randomly slow down to a crawl and then lock-up the pc... I used to have this same problem with a kt4v which i replaced thinking it was gone bad, though i did notice on that board the 3.3v line was quite faulty, well same thing is happening here, at least i think
If i leave Corecell opened while gaming, the game will suddelny minimize, corecell will pop-up with an alarm and show about 2.8-29v on the 3.30v line... now before i go out and spend some money on a new psu, I need to know if this could be it ? or could it be the old gf3 acting up?
As i said, this same thing used to happen to me with an old kt4v paired with my old athlon xp 2600+, it stopped happening when i switched to the k7n2 delta2 but here it is back again...
help please!

Well I´m back, meaning that my lock-ups are back
Although this time I think they're not voltage - psu based... all my voltages are on their normal conditions, temps are doing just fine, I can even game with no issues, the problem is my computer is randomly locking-up
I have read and re-read this post, Because I am having the same symptoms as this guy did, just random lock-ups , no time interval, the conditions cannot be reproduced , so Im guessing its either
a) hardware
b) bios settings/bios
More info: I upgraded my bios to syar's moded 1.A, turns out I'm running on a Venice 3200+ (not clawhammer as I stated before) ... Cnq is disabled, so is spread spectrum, so is aggresive timings, no dynamic overclocking, no fast writes, no sideband addresing, memory timings are at the manufacturer's specs, no overclocking whatsoever, fsb 200*10 , htt 5x...
Just so u know, the computer has been powered on for the last couple of nights downloading and It runs fine idling, but when i start surfing, or doing whatever it will lock up on a random time/condition basis (it hasnt locked up yet while gaming though)

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

Lock ups XF-I and X1900

Hi I am running
EVGA 33-K8-NF4-AX with the latest Bios
Radeon x900xtx
2 gig OCZ 2-3-2-5 ram
Antec true power 2.0 550watt PS
Sony 80a Dvd burner
70 gig raptor sata dri've
300 gig seagate sata 3 dri've
Sound Blaster Xf-I extreme music
Windows XP SP2
I get random lock ups under any D3D or OpenGL game as long as im on the desktop my sounds function without an issue. Previously I had been using a EVGA 7800 gt with no problems. Under the 7800 gt I did not have any lock u
ps.
Before installing the Radeon x900xtx I did a format of the dri've and a clean install of windows xp with SP2. I have tried catalyst 6.4 and the lock ups were very frequent in catalyst 6.3 they are less frequent and more random. I have upgraded to the latest drivers for every other component on my pc. I posted this here and also I have sent in a ticket to ATI because if I remove the XF-I and go with the real tek 8 channel onboard sound all of the lock ups disapear. When the XF-I is in the pc and it locks up it goes into a sound stutter at random times in any D3D or OpenGL game

I don't think so, Lion with the latest updates is running fine for most of us.
Post the log for your next lockup or the previous one if you can isolate the timeframe.

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.
