Photoshop CS6 64bit crashing with big psb files right after opening

Hi everybody,
I'm having big trouble since CS6 and I couldnt find andy help anywhere, thats why i have to ask here.
Problem discription:
Opening an 7gb 8bit psb file in PS CS6 64bit: PS opens the file and crashes immediately after showing the content (layers and image). an small error message is shown (but there is no description)
Sometimes it opens the file, and i can work in it, and when i try to save it (in background AND normal), PS just disappears without error message
My work around: If i open another small jpg first (in first tab) and then open the big psb, i dont get this problem. but actually i never had it open for very long since im kinda scared to put some work into this unstable system.
When doing this in PS CS6 32bit version, its pretty stable and i have no crash.
Funny thing is also, that one time I created a big file from like 20big tiffs in 16bit and could save it. All the time PS was running while creating stuff from scratch i didnt crashed. But after I saved the file and restarted PS, then he couldnt handle the file anymore and crashed like i said before.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you,
Stefan

I have issues with PS CS6 and much smaller program files (less than 100mbs) but your problems may have less to do with programming bugs, many though there be, in PS CS6, than basic computer/OS issues.
Your files are so large (7gbs?) that you may be incurring problems with memory handling on your system due to hardware issues, OS issues or both.
In the real world most motherboards cannot stably use more than 16gbs of memory. Try removing RAM down to 16gbs and see if that improves stability. Google that if you do not believe me. You will not lose any performance, any may actually gain stability, going to dual channel memory using two instead of three slots.
Run a memory diagnostic, a complete version that may take several hours to run, to see if any of your RAM is defective. Before doing that make sure all your RAM modules are properly seated in their slots.
Install a second hard drive, offload as many files as you can to it and defragment your main hard drive (defragment it no matter what it reports about fragmentation).
In truth in the real world neither Windows or Mac OSancient can use more than 8gbs RAM--and motherboards rarely are stable with more than 16gbs of installed RAM-- so contiguous hard drive space remains important, particularly for very large files. Also regardless of how much hardware RAM you have Windows will preferentially default to the hard drive for virtual memory for some routine processes. If all your RAM is functioning well you may want to completely turn off virtual memory in Windows but overall machine stability may be problematic. Fortunately, unlike Photoshop, Windows will run stably with virutal memory on a secondary hard drive.
You have way too much RAM. Most studies show that Photoshop performance does not change once you get past just 4gbs of RAM, regardless of whether the OS or program is 32 or 64 bits.
So many Photoshop processes are single threaded so that regardless of how much RAM you have all the image data has to pass through one of the processor cores of your CPU. If you do not believe me look up those tests of performance with varying the RAM and varying the CPU: PS is a CPU dependent program despite Adobe's laudable but unstable use of the GPU to attempt parallel processing of image data.
All versions of Windows have finite resources for handling memory which files of your size may exceed. You should turn off any and all un-needed background programs and processes, including antivirus (unplug the network cable if you are paranoid). You may have to go to System Configuration to make sure memory/resource hogging programs don't load (e.g. anything referring to Itunes, Adobe reader, Microsoft Office). Look at the processes running with Task Manager and research what you can safely shut down.
Finally consider the fundamental cause of most repeated system crashes: failing power supply or failing hard drive (if your RAM passes tests).

  • VM crashes with big class files generated of JSPs

              Hi,
              When calling certain JSP pages with WebLogic Server 5.1 (SP 6) the HotSpot Virtual Machine (JDK1.3) crashes with a core dump.
              Using WebLogic as the JSP engine produces of every JSP page one java file which
              is compiled with javac to one class file. Each generated java file consists of
              just one method: _jspService(...){...}. One method is allowed to be of 64 K
              (the dynamic part 32 K as maximum). As we include other JSP pages and
              components and use taglibraries, the WebLogic JSP engine generates a very big
              java file (more than 1 MB). Javac compiles this to a class file which only
              method exceeds the 64 K limit. As the javac compiler does not reject the class
              file with the to big method the virtual machine crashes.
              Running the same JSP page on Windows NT 4 with WebLogic Server 5.1 (Service Pack 6)
              and JDK 1.3 BUT using the java option -classic works.
              Unfortunately it seems that there is no -classic option for java on Solaris for JDK1.3.
              Using JDK1.2 (JDK_1.2.2_05a) on Solaris or the jikes compiler of Jakarta
              causes an exception instead of a core dump but still does not work.
              Using solaris jdk1.2.2_05a the same page request results in the following exception:
              Tue Nov 21 09:08:16 CET 2000:<I> <WebAppServletContext-maxblue> Generated java file:
              /opt/tadevw/maxblue/weblogic/maxblue_cluster/maxblue_server/public_html/WEB-INF/_tmp_war/jsp_servlet/_portfolio/_PortfolioMyportfolio.java
              Tue Nov 21 09:08:24 CET 2000:<E> <WebAppServletContext-maxblue> Servlet failed with Exception
              java.lang.VerifyError: (class: jsp_servlet/_portfolio/_PortfolioMyportfolio, method:
              _jspService signature: (Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest;Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse;)V) Illegal target of jump or branch
              Is there a way that the JSP engine of WebLogic creates/generates
              more than one function? (Without reengineering of the source code?)
              Regards,
              Boris
              

    Thank you! I had no idea. But what is a FAT32 drive? Is it the work bench in the Mac, that is used for the transfering between the external hard drives? Is there any way around this then?
    I thought in these HD home movie days, that this was an easy thing dealt with everyday. I still need to understand what practical solutions I can find. The files are .mov - quicktime files.
    It couldn't be the case that files larger than 4BG should be locked in the hard drive forever?

    Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce a recovered file despite settings asking it to do so every 5 mins now. When i try to report the problem, it says it has found an issue and gives me a link to a solution....but wont let me click on the link.... PLEASE HELP! It's killing my productivity.

    If the crash started right after you added RAM, it could be a bad Ram dimm. You can try this - change the amount of RAM in Photoshop to 4G, this should stop Photoshop from using the higher ram. If it doesn't crash, it's probably the ram. Or run a diagnostic app. You don't say when it crashes, what you're doing when it crashes - it there a pattern? Did it ever work on this computer? Did it work on your previous computer? Without a lot of data, it could be related to the new computer... What OS version? Did you recently update it? Have you updated Photoshop to the most recent update?
    Do you have any plug-ins loaded? Try restarting Photoshop, and immediately press & hold the shfit key to turn off plug-ins.

  • Photoshop CS6 Constantly Crashing

    Photoshop CS6 is crashing on me multiple times every day.
    Photoshop CS6
    Windows 7 64-bit (Service Pack 1)
    ATI Radeon HD 5670
    Crashes are not associated with one specific task. Crashes often occur when I set foreground/background color via the Tools Panel (after pressing Enter with the color picker open), but also when using the keyboard shortcut to resize canvas, or using the color picker to set text color. Seems like crashes occur most often when I’m using the color picker in various panels/tools or using a keyboard shortcut (e.g., when press “d” to set foreground/background colors to white/black, or Ctrl-Delete to fill with background color).
    I have the most recent driver for my video card. I don’t have any third-party plugins. The only third-party extension installed is “GuideGuide”, which I uninstalled and it didn’t fix the problem (so I re-installed it). I tried resetting Photoshop preferences (moved “Adobe Photoshop X64 CS6 Prefs.psp”  out of AppData folder, didn’t use the CTRL-SHIFT-ALT method while launching Photoshop).
    I get one of two different error messages when Photoshop crashes, either 1) A standard Windows error saying Photoshop has stopped working, or 2) Runtime Error! R6025 – pure virtual function call.
    Here are details for a few of the crashes from Windows Event Viewer:

    Anyone have any ideas? I’m trying to avoid re-installing CS6, but that may be the next course of action I have to take.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the input xkater.
    I took a look at: Control Panel > Device Manager > Display Adapters, and the only thing listed there is my graphics card (AMD Radeon R9 270). There's no listing for Intel HD Graphics xxx.
    Since originally posting this problem I've purchased a new computer. Much to my disbelief I have the same problem on the new computer.
    This is my new computer info:
    Adobe CS6
    Windows 8.1 64-bit
    Processor: Intel Core i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz
    RAM: 32 GB
    Graphics Card: AMD Radeon R9 270
    To reiterate the problem, there are 2 situations where Photoshop most often crashes:
    1) Using the Tools Panel "set foreground/background color". With the Color Picker open, if set the color by sampling a color from artwork on the canvas, then click the "OK" button in the Color Picker, Photoshop often crashes.
    2) Using the keyboard shortcut "D" to set the Tools Panel foreground and background colors to default. This often crashes Photoshop.
    This problem really slows down my workflow. If anyone has any suggestions to resolve the problem it would be much appreciated.
    This screenshot illustrates issue #1 above.

  • Photoshop CS6 constant crashes, can't save to server

    We recently upgraded our Adobe Creative Suite from CS3 to CS6. Now I am experiencing issues with Photoshop CS6 I have not seen in previous versions, it seems it cannot save files across a network any longer. If I try to work normally, saving my files to a folder on our server, PS crashes constantly. The new recovery mode is handy but time and space consuming= inefficient for our workflow. My work around is to save files to my Mac, and then copy them to the server later, which is Archaic and also inefficient. When I try to save a PS CS6 .eps to the server, it does not work any longer, I get the message; Program Error or a freeze and crash of Photoshop CS6. Is this a permanent issue or is there someone working to resolve it? I am thinking I will need to go back to using Photoshop CS3 in order to continue working efficiently.

    Most of the problems saving across networks are OS bugs and fileserver bugs.
    In fact, Apple just fixed a handful of them in 10.8.4 (but sadly, not all of them).
    Photoshop CS6 added more error detection for file saving, in response to lost files on fileservers (due to OS bugs).  Older versions of Photoshop could silently lose files when saving due to those OS bugs.
    Photoshop CC attempts to work around the known OS bugs, and has fallback saving strategies in case we detect a problem while saving the file.  (but it took us a long time to understand all the OS bugs related to fileservers)

  • My Photoshop CS6 always crashes when I lose my Internet connection...why?

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 64bit version no longer shows under program

    A few days ago I somehow acquired a virus on my windows 7 laptop. With virus protection software I was able to quickly identify it and delete it from my system. After I deleted the virus I noticed that my Photoshop CS6 64bit shorcut disappeared from my desktop. I even went into my computer > programs and it does not even show up there. Photoshop CS6 32bit is still there and works fine.
    I was wondering should I re-install CS6 on my compter and if I do that should I de-activate my current version before I re-install?
    Thanks so much for your help.
    Jim Blackston

    You can re-install the 64-bit version. Personally, I prefer to wipe a virus infected system clean and start over.

    Help! My original and very expensive CS6 has crashed with a  simple command of selection….

    Thanks JJMack,
    unfortunately I'm Italian and I do not speak English, and most importantly
    I'm not a genius in the world of computing. In fact, if you talks to me
    about preferences folder  User id and I do not even know where to look ....
    why has crashed in your opinion? I was creating patterns with low
    resolutions. It can if you have the time and patience to help me understand
    where look the folder  and what to do in a primitive language so that an
    incompetent like me can understand.
    Thank you in advance.
    greetings
    Vittorio.

  • Photoshop CS6 update crashes everytime I go to print. Any ideas?? Help!!!

    With the lastest update to Photoshop CS6 it crashes everytime I go to print. Any ideas?? Help!!!

    Have you installed all the updates for Photoshop?
    And what does the crash report say?
    Most of these issues turn out to be bugs in the printer driver software, but some are curable by resetting Photoshop preferences (which also resets the "last used" printer info).

  • Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing when I try and change brush colour

    Hi, my Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing when I try and change brush colour. I use layer masks a lot and consequently need to switch between black and white brushes. CS6 crashes a lot and gets closed by Windows 7 when I either click in the icon to swap brush colour or press the X keyboard shortcut. It's driving me crazy. I run Windows 7 on a high spec Dell PC. The problem has only started a couple of months ago, had CS6 since it came out. Can I advise me please? Thanks.

    Please read these and proceed accordingly (restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be of special interest):
