Photoshop CC 2014 causes black screen and system shut down.

Every time I start PS CC 2014 my machine dies within 2 minutes. I am not having issues with Lightroom or Bridge.
I've spent hours on phone w/Dell tech support. They say my machine is fine and that the problem is with photoshop.
Drivers and installs are all up to date. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm running on a Dell 8500 w/ a 2 TB hard drive.
I've run DM Log Collector and have a zip file with the results, but I don't see how to attach it to my post.

  • Dreaded Black Screen and automatic shut-down.  Why does this happen ?

    Why do I get a Black Screen and automatic shut-down ?  My iMac felt warm...and I never hear a fan go on..could overheating be why it shuts down?

    Hi Tish,
    A few things.
    If you bough this iMac used with no original install/hardware test discs, you can call Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE ask for software sales and tell them you need a set of iMac replacement install/hardware test discs. You'll need to give the Apple rep your iMac's serial number.to get the appropriate discs. There will be around a $16 or $17 U.S. charge for discs.
    Since your iMac is still freezing, I now wonder if it is RAM and/or hard drive related.
    Your iMac maybe freezing because of serious lack of RAM.
    How full is your Mac's hard drive?
    You only have 1 GB of RAM installed.
    OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard really needs more RAM than this.
    Intel versions of OS X use more CPU, GPU, RAM and hard drive resources.
    OS X, running alone (without any other applications running) can use up between 2 and 4 GBs of RAM memory.
    Youf iMac model can 4 GBs of RAM, but only about 3.1 to 3.3 GBs of it will be recognized.
    Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
    Without being able to run the Apple hardware test we have no way of knowing the condition of your iMac's hard drive.
    The freezing could, also, be caused from a failing hard drive.
    If you do not have any backup of your data, this is the time to create one.
    Backup your important data to either DVD discs, flash drive/s or purchase an external hard drive to backup all,of your data to.
    You can make an exact clone of the data, on your internal hard drive, using a data cloning like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. OR purchase the external drive and use OS X Time Machine to automatically backup your entire internal drive.

  • Black screen and random shut down

    When on battery power my ibook G4 will randomly do one of two things: the display will go almost completely black, or it randomly "shuts down" (although I can still hear the fan) and will not turn back on. For the frist problem closing the lid and putting it to sleep are sufficient to fix it. For the second I either have to hold down the power key in which case it acts like it shuts down, or I have to remove the battery. Both problems happen while on battery power and has happened while running a lot of programs and only a few. I brought it into a an Apple store a couple months ago and the genius reset PMU and reinstalled the operating system as well I think. It worked for a while but has now begun acting up again. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Ok so, unfortunately I have no answer (and this is my 3rd try posting this because my g4 kept shutting down) Anyway for about the last week my ibook g4 has been shutting down for no reason. Even w/a full charge. The only way I can get it to restart is to plug it in. I'm also getting a weird error message sometime when it restarts that says "your date/time is set to a date before 2001 so some applications may behave erratically" or something. However, the time and date are set to the current date and time. Also,sometimes when it restarts there is an outgoing e-mail that pops up saying this has not been sent. However it has been sent, according to the sent box and the recipients.
    yuk, I hate problems, I don't want problems.

  • Random black screens and occasional shut downs on iPad 3

    Hi everyone,
    I've had my iPad 3 since early August and I've noticed this problem since I got it.
    First problem:
    This happens EVERYDAY. I will be using my iPad and the screen will randomly go blank. There is still noise in the background and when I press the button at the top, it puts it into sleep mode, then I press the home screen and it's fine. This happens at random times throughout the day. Restoring it hasn't helped the problem.
    Settings-->General-->iPad Cover Lock/Unlock -turning this OFF hasn't helped the problem even though it seems like that would be the issue. Any explanation?
    Second problem:
    This has happened 3 times in the last month and two of those times were this week so it's bound to happen again. This happens when the battery is full so that is not the issue. Anyway, my iPad will randomly shut off and holding down the buttons won't turn it on, no matter what I press, it won't turn on or reboot or anything.
    After this happens, I begin to charge the battery, and after about 5 minutes of charging, I can hear that noise that apple products make when they charge, but the noise keep going on and on for a few minutes as if I'm taking the charger in and out of it.
    After those few minutes of annoying sounds stop, the ITUNES plug screen finally comes up on my iPad and I connect it to my computer and it restores my iPad.
    I presume this isn't normal,please help!
    Is there any way to fix this without going to the apple store? Can anyone relate? Am I missing something?
    Thank you in advance!

    If you've already restored the iPad, I don't see what else you could possibly do. Take it an Apple Store, let them evaluate it. Tell them what you are experiencing. If they can't figure it out, you should get a replacement.
    None of what you are experiencing is normal.

  • Recently I tried adding disc menu to my project and an error occurs and system shuts down using pre9

    Recently I tried adding disc menu to my project and an error occurs and system shuts down using pre elements 9 on mac how can this be repaired

    From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
    •What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 9 with the 9.0.1 update).
    •What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
    •Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
    •What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
    •If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
    •What were you doing when the problem occurred?
    •What other software are you running?
    •Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed?  How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
    •Has this ever worked before?  If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.?  Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
    And some other questions...

  • Premiere Pro CS4 crashes and system shuts down while rendering

    Hi All,
    Good morning everyone, my system shuts down while rendering using Adobe media encoder from premiere pro. I have tried the following:
    1.Completely removing CS4 and reinstalling.
    2. Updating all the video drivers.
    3. Re installing the Operating System (XP and Vista)
    But the issue persists, i have attached the crash report and any thoughts are highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Vincent

    A number of problems pop out of your DXDIAG:
    Both your video driver and your audio driver are more than 3 years old.
    Your F drive is slow, because of the fill rate of 90%. You lack other hard disks.
    You have Matrox, BlackMagic, Nero, Sony, DivX and other stuff installed. It has been a long time ago that I have seen such a long list of DirectShow filters installed.
    Suggestions: Update your drivers, clean up your F drive and add another disk, remove all that Matrox stuff, possibly include BlackMagic and Sony.
    What export/encoding settings do you use from what sequence settings?

  • IMac, update causing black screen and randomly powers off...?

    I've seen many comment on this with few solutions.  It had never occurred until yesterday afternoon after the latest security update for Mavericks, 2014-005 v.1, was loaded and the system was rebooted.  After that moment the mac has been unusable.  It will start and after user log on, will black screen, sometimes still running and other times instantly powered off.  I have followed resetting the PRAM, and SMC procedures with no change and have booted into safe mode in order to examine the system and it is just as unstable there.  The times I have gotten it booted and running, attempting to access an earlier Time Machine backup, but before I can start reload it goes black.  The same goes while trying to check the sleep mode and security settings.  Unless this is an amazing coincidence, I believe the latest update has caused this problem and has for others as I have seen on many conversations.  Can this be uninstalled or does the drive need to get wiped and then reload from the Time Machine?
    Thanks.
    iMac,  A1311  21.5"  Mavericks 10.9.5  Update 2014-005 v.1

    Well, initial call into Apple Care and one answer.  "We have no idea what it is, we can get you an appointment at a Genius Bar in 4 days!"  4 days?!  Seriously?  At least they were kind enough to only put me on hold for 30 minutes, AND then transferred me to a "Sr. Care Specialist" who basically blew smoke up my arse only to tell me the same thing... why transfer me at all?

  • Black Screen as if shut down when moved

    I've only had my 13" MacBook Pro for one week. When I move it and put it down in another place (which isn't something I do very often) sometimes the screen goes black as if it has shut down. It takes a minute or so of pressing keys, clicking etc. before the screen and other functionality comes back. I installed any software updates available as soon as I had it up and running when I bought it and checked for any again before posting this. I've had a MacBook for nearly three years before this MB Pro and had no problems with it.
    I'm not happy!
    Anybody got any suggestions please?

    This is the solution:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2917
    "Symptoms
    If you stack certain MacBook or MacBook Pro computers on top of each other, one or more of the stacked computers may go to sleep unexpectedly.
    Depending on when this happens it may appear that the computer is having difficulties starting up. Stacking the computers can result in the top computer going to sleep before it's completely started up.
    Products Affected
    MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2009), MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009), MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009), MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009), MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2010), MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010), MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010), MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008), MacBook (13-inch, Late 2009), MacBook (13-inch, Mid 2010)
    Resolution
    For best results, do not stack the computers.
    When stacked, the magnet in the bottom computer may activate the magnetic switch in the top computer. This is normal behavior. Automatic sleep operation works based on magnets; a switch in the MacBook Pro, known as a Hall Effect switch, is activated when the magnet in the display clamshell gets close to it. This is how your computer knows to go to sleep when you close the display."
    I had put my MBP down on top of my old MB! That's what caused it by the looks of things.

  • U410 display and system shut down way too fast when inactive

    Hey guys,
    the display of my u410 shuts down when I am afk for more more or less one minute and shortly after the system goes into energy saving mode (don't know how to say that in English, its the same thing that happens, when I close the lid).
    Due to my energy management settings this shouldn't happen  for at least 5 minutes after last action in battery mode and not at all in plugged-in mode and it still does.
    When watching a film it doesn't happen but sometimes while watching a youtube video on full screen, and all the time when not on full screen.
    It also happens when I'm downloading stuff and clearly don't want to sit in front of the laptop for over an hour moving the mouse every now and then just to make sure it doesn't turn itself off, because then the download gets interrupted.
    Would be awesome if somebody could give me a quick hint how to fix this!!!

  • My ipad is not going past the logo screen and it shuts down when I have battery, then it says I need to charge it. I am charging it but it isn't charging. Then my ipad isn't charging (doesn't say not charging) I've tried everything!

    First, my ipad wasn't charging. Then it shuts down when I have 7% battery, now when I turn it on, it says to charge it. And when I do charge it, it doesn't work. Now, I did it once it worked. Now I can't get past the logo screen and when I do it shuts right off again. Please help!

    Hi InternetHogger,
