MDD mystery crashes (video-related)

Hey everybody,
My poor dual-1.25 MDD has had a constant problem with a particular brand of crashes since I bought it three years ago. Multiple AppleCare calls and service trips yielded nothing (one service tech even accused me of making up my problem, since he wasn't able to replicate it), and now my coverage is gone.
The machine performs like a dream, except in one situation: whenever I try to play any kind of game that's at all graphics-intensive, the system crashes. A lot. Here's the way it invariably goes: I get about 20 minutes of decent gameplay, and suddenly my monitor loses the (digital) signal. Whatever sound had been emanating from my speakers then gets stuck, repeating endlessly like a skipping record/CD. The only way out is a held-down-power-button forced shutdown. After restarting, everything else will be fine, but further attempts at gaming will result in immediate no-video, stuttering-sound freezes.
Since this has been a persistent problem for three years, I've tried a lot of things, including everything AppleCare could throw at me, and a lot of the solutions offered elsewhere in this forum. Heck, I even bought a new video card the other day, just in case that was the source.
Here's a partial ('cause I honestly don't remember every last thing) list of what I've tried:
1. AHT: multiple tests, nothing found.
2. Memtest: same.
3. Archive and install of three different versions of OS X
4. Reformatting of hard drives (which aren't full, btw)
For the record, here are all the alterations I've made to my MDD:
1. added two Crucial 512mb RAM chips
2. Added a second HD
3. Put in a Radeon 9600 Pro (256mb)
4. Put in a Pioneer DVD burner
If it matters, I use a Sony SDX-17 LCD monitor.
This computer has always run hot, starting up at about 38º C and typically running at about 57-61º C. Might this be the problem? If so, has anybody had any luck with enhancing or replacing the cooling system?
I think that's all I can think of. Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Seems like you're in the same vote I am right down to the skipping music. You can add a scrambled video signal to the list of symptoms for me as well.
Over three years I have tried everything aside from replacing the logic board, processors and power supply. The power supply crossed my mind but I have always suspected a somehow video related problem even tho endless hardware tests show nothing.
Rooting around in the System Log the last few weeks has turned up a string of entries that always precede a crash and I'm wondering if you have similiar entries:

I've been going thru the logs after every crash and it looks like my mdd can handle one of these hangs, but generally if a second occurs immediately after the first it's lights out. Googling this hasn't turned up any thing conclusive other than that the entry apparently comes from the ATI drivers.
Wonder if anyone with a nvidia card has ever experienced this problem?

FYI: This is a brand new 8-core 2.66 MacPro and I migrated via firewire target-disk mode from a PowerMac G5 running 10.4.11.
It also looks as if the first error occured at Apr 8 01:05:24 and all the rest is just a follow-up on that one. At that time BOINC was running several projects.
And: This seems to be a known issue as lined out in this discussion: 10.5: Avoid a direct screen saver activation issue

The sound on all of my game apps and my alerts has stopped working. Still works for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube... Anything video related. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do to fix it?

The sound on all of my game apps and my alerts has stopped working. Still works for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube... Anything video related. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do to fix it?

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Adobe muse crashs video with nvidia geoforce GT 430

Hy, I'm having problems when i try change or input new images into slideshow. It's crashes video drive nvidia geoforce GT 430.
So i can't change images in slides show in my page.
Thanks

Hi Saniit.
Yes I had done it. I created a new page and the same thing happened.
So I ended up going back to the previous driver, nvidia 335.23 and now Muse slideshow is working normally.
I also got in touch with Nvidia, I'm waiting for reply
Thanks
Carlos

Possible solution to the mysterious crashes

I have just been contacted by an Adobe engineer trying to get
to the
bottom of the mysterious crashes that appear to be connected
with the
clock change in Europe. Try deleting the
WinFileCache[series_of_random_numbers].dat file in your
configuration
folder.
On Win XP, it's located at:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration
In Vista, it's at:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration
After removing the WinFileCache, scripts that previously
crashed
Dreamweaver CS3 acted normally again.
This *appears* to be the solution, but has not yet been
officially
confirmed.

Try using the code below in a new PHP file. You should see
the crash, if
you didn't already delete your FileCache.dat file. From what
we've seen so
far, the crashes are limited to PHP files with dynamic list
menus.
We can reproduce the problem with PHP files, but we're not
able to reproduce
the problem with ASP files or any other file types. Can
people that are
seeing this problem with non-PHP files post their code so we
can reproduce
the problem here?
Thanks,

System Freeze under 10.7 (not video related..)

I'm experiencing problem with system freezes that are not video related.
I've had several instances so far whereby my system freezes (the mouse cursor still reacts, but nothing is selectable) either at the Finder or the most recent when browsing apps in Launch Pad. The only fix is a hard restart. The only similarity to some of the posts re video is that my mac employs graphics switching, and I assume this is utilised when launching Launch Pad?
Doing a hard restart also starts Spotlight reindexing my HD. Something which was only done a few days ago when Lion was installed. Doing a normal restart at this point stops Spotlight indexing when returning to the finder.
Is anyone seeing the same behaviour on thier systems and has anyone found a cure? I've read that resetting the PRAM has helped some.

Okay, (I think) I've found a way around the first annoyance - there's an option in Time Machine preferences to lock documents after a certain length of time. Even though I never use Time Machine (I use an easier alternative) this option still controls things. Turning off that bit (it's on bit default) made thinks better.
I've yet to find a way around the second problem, any help will be appreciated.

Mystery Crashes Adobe Premiere CC

Hello everyone,
I've been having an issues for a couple of months now with Adobe Premiere Creative Cloud version. Every single time I try to import videos for editing a crash happens soon after, specifically the instant that I click on the video thumbnail in the "project" tab. I've probably put about 15+ hours into investigating this problem this week alone, as I had a pretty important piece of content to get out under a tight deadline.
So, here are some observations related to this issue:
This computer at my office is nearly identical to mine at home, which has 0 issues with Premiere.
Specs: Intel i5-4670, MSI B85-G43 board, all drivers updated this week while trying to fix the issue.
The only difference between these two computers is the one I have at home (that has no issues) has a GTX 970 in it.
There are at least 4 different fault names that appear in the crash report. I have encountered OpenCL_unloaded, fdwcn.dll, igdrcl64.dll, and ntdll.dll so far.
The same actions trigger the same crash, even when the Intel HD Iris graphics driver is uninstalled, and a generic windows VGA is in place. I have tried various versions of Intel's graphics driver, assuming compatibility issues, only to result in the same crash.
The crash occurs regardless of whether the GPU Acceleration is enabled, or Software Only is enabled.
There is one solution I've found that consistently "solves" the problem.
After Premiere crashes using the generic windows driver, it will work exactly once, after a fresh installation of the Intel HD driver.
In this scenario, where premiere will function one time before the problem reappears, the option to select between GPU Acceleration enabled, and Software Only enabled, is grayed out, defaulting to Software Only.
So, I think I've tried just about everything I can. I can't always work from home, so Premiere is rapidly losing its usefulness to me the more time I waste on this. I've been using the creative suite version of Premiere for a few years, and only recently switched to the creative cloud version some time in December. I can't recall for sure, but I want to say this problem did not start popping up until several weeks after I'd been using this version with no issues.
The only thing that I can think of is that perhaps my preferences on this computer are importing settings from my home computer, which has a GPU, thus forcing the program to try and use a GPU where there isn't one. I've already turned off auto-sync settings/preferences everywhere I can, but as is typical of poor UI/menu design, I may be missing another checkbox somewhere.
I'll be uninstalling and reinstalling the entire program today, as that's the last thing I can possibly think of to try and fix this.
Any ideas?

Yeah, I really suspect that it's some obscure driver issue originating from the fact that I'm using the i5 for everything. I'd done some research on these error names, and as you said, the results were kind of all over the place.
If after I do a clean reinstall of Premiere CC it's still crashing, I'll try an old GTX 650 to see if that will do the trick.
Thanks for your response. I will update this thread when a permanent solution is found.

PP CC crashes - possibly related to Mercury Playback and AMD / HD6950

I've been having a lot of instability with my set-up.
i73770K - 32GB RAM - HD6950 2GB - Windows 8
Computer has been and is very stable in everything but Premiere Pro CC.
I clean re-installed Windows 8 and Adobe CC.
I am having instabilty with drivers 13.4 and 13.6 beta.
I think it is directly related to Mercury Playback because when I disable the GPU acceleration and go software only, it does not crash, but even on this pretty good system, it won't playback well and it's kinda sluggish hogging all my CPU unless I resort to a bunch of low-res display trickery.
I have projects looming, so, I need to get to where I can edit on something soon.
I guess here are my options:
1. $$$ Buy a newer video card like a HD7950. Maybe a newer card would help? Or maybe the AMD drivers are just sketch or Open CL support is just too new?
2. $$$ Buy an Nvidia card. Is there any evidence that Nvidia support is more mature and therefore more stable?
3. Edit on my MacBook Pro with HD6750M. It's just not going to be as smooth and fast as my desktop with the laptop fans going off and all that. I'd rather use my beasty desktop.
4. $$$ Bail and just go FCPX on my Macbook Pro. Seems silly since I am paid up for the CC workflow.

So far so good.
I swapped out the HIS HD6950 with an MSI GTX760. I'm using the latest 320.49 driver, but keeping an eye on it in case I have to revert to an older set.
I abused the timeline and jumped in and out of sequences to tweak color and it's fast and stable so far with low CPU utilization.
With the AMD card it would crash frequently doing the same things.
I did have to manually set the Mercury playback to GPU, since initially PP CC said my card is not supported, but obviously it's working since timeline operations and playback are responsive.
EDIT: The GTX760 is going to be a very popular card so I would expect it to show up on the approved list at some point. Performance is supposed to be somewhere between the 660ti and 670.

JVM Crash: ConcMarkSweepGC related?

We're experiencing the following JVM crash approximately 2-5 times per day on a well traffic application server running Tomcat 5.5 under Java 1.5 (05) on Linux with a 2.4.21-37 kernel. I'm posting here because we kind of have no route to take: I can't seem to work around the crash in any way. There's a potential that UseParallelGC might fix this, but I'm unable to run the app reliably with a ParallelGC, as we have a very large cache and the Full GC's get unbelievably long (2GB heap).
How can we find out what's going on? Is there a way to obtain a debug build so that:
V [libjvm.so+0x4c2c53]
V [libjvm.so+0x1bea7c]
We're also seeing this in the standard output:
An exception occurred on the SessionReaperDaemon[null, 2005-11-01 20:02:14.81] thread while processing (task="com.tangosol.coherence.servlet.SessionHelper$SessionReaperDaemon$IncrementalReapTask@1ba4ac8"):

     at com.tangosol.coherence.servlet.SessionHelper$SessionReaperDaemon.run(SessionHelper.java:2709)
     at com.tangosol.util.Daemon$1.run(Daemon.java:63)
Prior to the crash, but this is an impossible place for an exception:
3070: if (iter.hasNext())
3071: {
3072: String sId = (String) iter.next();3073: ...
Any help or next steps would be greatly appreciated.

An aside: When I switch to ParallelGC, afterrunning
for about 5-6 hours, GC times start doubling
(approximately) in time, eventually moving upwardsof
2 minutes per full GC.That sounds to me like you're swapping during full
GCs. I wouldn't assume that 2 GB of physical RAM is
sufficient to run an app with an 1800 MB heap. Have
you done any heap profiling to determine the real
working set of your application? When the GCs get
this pathologically long, is there disk activity on
the machine?Hmm.. So what should we size our heap to on a server with 2GB? The server is essentially only running the Java process. What would you consider "safe"?
While heap profiling with jconsole, the application only utilizes 1.1GB of the heap at peaks. We want to expand that eventually as we size our caches larger.
I don't believe there's disk activity with long GCs, but I can't confirm that 100% right now. The server is reading files from another machine, so the disks are more or less untouched while the app is running. There's heavy caching. The only reason disks would be hititng if your guess regarding the swapping turns out correct. After you suggest a safer way to calc a max heap size for our machine, I'll try again with ParallelGC and a smaller heap.
Some points:
- I tried increasing perm generation size. It'snot
even close to filled (according to gc log).(As you mentioned, "old generation" instead of "perm
generation".) What about when the full collection
times are taking 2 minutes in duration? Is there any
disk activity indicating swapping?Again, not positive on the disk situation -- should get an answer above to figure this out.
- I have not tried the -client VM, will this break
performance on a production application?The client VM does not generate as high quality
machine code as the server VM but on the x86
architecture many benchmark scores for the two
compilers are comparable. I would recommend you try
that option if only to narrow down the scope of the
crash you're seeing.
- I saw a bug related to a ConcMarkSweepGC crashon
4-cpu machines opened on Oct 17th. I've testedthis
on 4-cpu (2 proc with hyperthreading) and 2-cpu
(hyperthreading off) -- both exhibit this issue.What bug ID is this?http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6337544
- Are there any known issues with this collectorand
Linux 2.4.21-37.ELsmp? Should we be using
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 or anything? For java to
recognize this variable, do we just need itspecified
anywhere in the environment at JVM start? How dowe
test if it worked?No issues as far as I know, but I am not a Linux
expert. I think in order to toggle which thread
library is used you just need that variable exported
in the environment when the JVM starts up. You can
probably use pmap to see which thread library got
loaded to verify the one you expect is present in the
loaded objects.Trying various combinations of LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to switch threading versions has no real effect on stability there. We're seeing crashes repeatedly still.
I'm going to attempt to deploy some machines with a new kernel as well and see if we can reproduce on those. I'll try ParallelGC again as soon as I get your recommendations on the configuration.

Anything video related wont open or play.

The camera app wont even open. The icon lights up and then stays that way until you tap on another icon or some period of time passes and it gives up. The videos app will start to open but doesn't get passed the load screen. You tube will open, search and show more info but the videos will not play.
Any advice would be appreciated. I will post anything I find out on my own. Thanks
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Cingular)

Have you tried any Resets? Soft, warm, or Hard?
Was the phone damaged in any way? Water or moisture?
Any software installed recently that coincides with the problem?

Movie Yellow Submarine crashes video player on iPad

On my iPad 3rd generation the video player crashes every time I want to play the movie Yellow Submarine (HD and SD). All other movies play ok. Also Yellow Submarine plays fine on my Apple TV and my Mac. I tried deleting and new syncing all movies on my iPad, but that didn't help.

Where do I find the shuffle to turn off in the music player?
Start playing music from your music library, then when the album artwork is full screen, tap the artwork to bring up the controls. Make sure that the shuffle indicator, two intertwined arrows, is NOT blue. It should be to the right of the scrubbing bar.

Try uninstalling the 3ivx!!!!! caused library to crash,videos not to play

whoever posted this idea, don't know where I even saw it now, thank you big time!!!
This caused everything to crash repeatedly!
Uninstalling 3ivx allowed by managed library on the external drive to finally load without crashing, to play videos recognizing format like it used to...finally I see a light at the end of the tunnel!!!

I only realized it because in system preference window I had perian and flip4mac and "3ivx mpeg-4" listed. I also had an icon somewhere for "uninstall 3ivx".
My library was a managed library on an external drive, I understand all the network referenced guys are hating life. My videos were visible but the thumbnails were randomly pixelated, aperture crashed continuously and videos would show up with just blank white screens.
I was able to open the library with snow leopard and it ran fine so it is a lion issue with some glitch of video format problems. I spent hours and a trip to the genius bar who told me to wait for software update. I uninstalled 3ivx and presto!
I would spotlight "3ivx" and see what other codecs or video programs or converters you may have. Also, there is a documented apple problem of issues with final cut express causing aperture to quit or crash. Doesn't sound like your issue but thought I'd throw it out there in case.

InDesign 5.5 on Mac OSX 10.8.2 crashes - XML-related?

Hi all,
One of our compositors has had repeated problems with InDesign CS 5.5 crashing. Our workflow generally entails importing well-formed XML for book designs, and it usually works fine. On occasion, this one compositor has experienced frequent crashes, by which I mean InDesign closes and generates an error (I don' t know if this forum permits attachments, I have a long problem report file I could upload). Once this problem starts with a given file or set of files, it's almost impossible for him to work on them for more than a minute or two without InDesign completely bombing out (it doesn't hang, it disappears instantly). We've subsequently tested these files on other systems with different OS versions, but the same version of InDesign and the crash occurs there as well. So it seems that once the problem starts, it's associated with the file itself, and not necessarily the specific system in started on.
We've tried saving these files as IDML and working on them in that form, but the same problem occurs. We've tried many things to resolve this (new system, new OS, reinstall CS), and we're at a complete loss for how to finally fix it (though I just bought some paid support incidents with Adobe, so I guess we'll turn there next). I was hoping that someone in this forum may have experienced and resolved this sort of issue before and can shed some light on it.
Any help will be very appreciated.

Hi, I'm the "compositor" ("desktop publisher") mentioned above as having the chronic crashing problem. Since our production department of nine InDesign users has not yet upgraded from 5.5, we don't get official tech support, but we hope to find some answers to our questions here.
If the "bad link" suggested above in relation to "AGM" appearing in the first lines of the problem report is referring to links between text frames or to placed images, that's an area that's too highly controlled and routinely checked too often to be suspect. The crashing problem has been too persistent for too long (over a year) to have been triggered by something as relatively detectable and easily fixed as that. (Perhaps you're referring to some other kind of link?)
When a crash happens, it seems to occur spontaneously (seemingly "out of the blue") when in the middle of working on a job -- since we publish books, usually in the middle of a "chapter file," and (here would seem to be a clue) only in a file into which text that has been converted to "clean XML" has been imported. No problem with any other kinds of text imports -- but XML is what we use.
What happens is the sudden appearance of the "spinning beach ball," which can last for quite a few seconds at first, but there is no way out, and no going back -- inevitably the job disappears from the screen, the program crashes, and the "problem report" appears on the screen, giving you the choice of clicking on "reinstall" (automatically sending the report to Adobe) and "restore" the file to the screen; or "OK," which closes the report and requires you to open InDesign again manually. I usually end up restoring, to save lost time, but the more I reopen the program, however I do it, the more frequently the crash happens again. At first it might take a relatively "complex" procedure (e.g., moving a text or art frame from one page to another, or just navigating from one page to another) to cause the crash. But the more times it happens, and with increasing frequency, the less it takes to do it (e.g., cutting and pasting, or deleting), until finally just opening the program precipitates another crash, by which point it's impossible to get anything done.
If you regard it as a kind of "grand mal seizure" or "convulsion," you could compare the initial signs of a crash about to happen -- e.g., a bar of color overlaid on a running head at the top of a page, to indicate its being "tracked," will suddenly extend off the page and to the edge of the screen, and presumably beyond -- to the "aura" or feeling of impending doom experienced by a victim before being seized by a convulsion. That's a fairly invariable visual foreshadowing of a long series of ever more frequent crashes that can then be counted on to continue happening throughout the file structure of an entire book.
Much theorizing has gone on about the root cause of this incredible waste of production time, but no one as yet has been able to attribute it to anything that can be "fixed." Instead, the crashes come and go at will -- sometimes lying dormant, often returning with a vengeance, and lingering perniciously until a book finally gets produced, at a cost of several times the amount of production time that it ordinarily ought to take.
Does this sound like some kind of "viral" behavior? At this point that's my best guess.
Thanks,
William

MacPro crashing video issue?

First appologies as I am submitting this via my iPhone. So forgive punctuation, auto correct issues etc.
I have an older MacPro. It has an updated ati radeon card, recently some odd things have been happening. The monitor gets these artifacts basically a vertical line and three dots. But these are replicated about 100x across the screen in a very semetrical and orderly fashion. Once these appear, I lose control of the Mac. My mouse still can move the cursor. But the keyboard etc all crash out. I get a perpetual spinning ball of doom.
I took some pics with my iPhone here is one example: http://yfrog.com/h3r57okj
I reset the pram. Reduced the power on the pci slot. Swapped pci slots for the video card. Tested the memory with memtest. Completely reinstalled osx snow leopard on a new hard drive.
The video card is maybe a year old.
To no avail. Still borked.
Any ideas???
Thanks in advance.

"reduced the power on the pci slot"
Do you mean you used the Expansion Slot Utility to reduce lanes?
In any case, sounds like your card has died or is in it's final days.
Before you go to get another, figure out which Mac you have:
