Photoshop CS6 freeze the whole PC, Plz help

Hi,
I came here after I got to a point where I feel hopeless in fixing my issue, I would totally appreciate the help.
Month ago, I installed Photoshop cs6 extended on my windows 8 machine. My probelm is simply the following; everytime I run cs6 my whole computer get frozen, so I have to go and force the shoutdown, like cutting the power. Sometimes I get lucky and photoshop works, then for some reason it freezes again.
I reinstalled it many times, I even reinstalled windows 8. I started to feel that this frequent crashes are even curropting my windows 8 files, in a point that windows 8 sometimes cant get to load from the first time so I hae to repair it. Windows 8 by the way works great with me, until I install and use photoshop. Now I have got a load of work that I cannot do because I cannot run Photoshop properly.
These are some informaiton about my PC:
OS: Windows 8
Application: Photoshop CS6 Extended
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 rev. 2.0
Video Card: Ati Radeon HD 5900
VC Driver: AMD Catalyst 12.10
# of screens: 3 screens ( 1920x1080, 1920x1080, 1024x768)
RAM: 12 GB
Processor: i7 X 980 3.33GHz
Thanks for the help.

As Chris points out, PS is not going to cause a BSOD, though some of its functions can trigger them, basically by revealing a weakness, or underlying problem, not revealed by most of your other programs. One example might be bad RAM, that does not come into play with many other programs, or similar.
This article might be useful for tracking down the actual cause: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3465303#3465303. It also has links to some tools to help troubleshoot.
Good luck,

    1.  If you are really on iOS 7.1, you may wish to try upgrading to 8.1.2 which is the latest (basing this on your signature).
    2.  If updating the phone doesn't help, is this only when you connect to a specific wifi network?  Or all wifi networks (including public with no password)?  If it is ALL wifi networks, you may have a hardware problem.  Genius bar would be the next step.

  • How to uninstall Photoshop CS6 when the "Adobe Installers" is missing from the Application/Utilities/.......(missing Adobe Installers)"?

    I  recently had all of our information from an older iMac transferred to a new iMac (transfer done through the Mac store).  Now when I try to open up Photoshop CS6 from the dock, get a response that says  :Configuration Error  and below that  "Error: 16".   It also says to uninstall Photoshop and then to  re-install it.  The problem is that somewhere in the past, the Adobe Installer was deleted, so am unable to continue with the process- so am unable to uninstall.  Appreciate any help.  Have not had any problems prior to this. 

    I do not own a Mac and never have so I have little to offer in the way of how get something uninstalled on one.  If the Cleaner did not recognize that you have CS6 installed there are two things I could think of that I would consider - 1) just try reinstalling CS6  2) just delete anything you can find relative to CS6 and try reinstalling it.  The second is option is the least recommended from my standpoint since I do not know what the impact might be, but I don't think trying the first would hurt much... it might just get the installer in place and then provide you with the ability to uninstall.

  • Photoshop CS6 saves the JPGs smaller than they appear in Photoshop...

    Photoshop CS6 saves the jpgs smaller than they appear in Photoshop...
    If I change a file in Photoshop to 72 dpi and scale it down to approximately 1-2 MB,
    it is after saving as a JPG half the size than it was showed in Photoshop (350KB).
    WHY?
    I have the operating system OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on my Macbook.
    Can someone help me please???
    Eva

    Jpeg is a lossy compression format. 1-2 MB is the uncompressed size.
    What is lossless and lossy compression? - Definition from WhatIs.com
    You can better see the effect in File > Save for Web. You can move the slider from 100% and see the effect on file size.

  • Aperture freezes the whole computer

    I have Aperture 3. I can use all the preset adjusments and run through the whole program no problem but i have an issue where every time i go to use a brush tool for a short amount of time it freezes the whole computer to the point where i have to force shut down. I have a Macbook pro 15" Retina with 8gb RAM, 250gb SSD, Intel Hd Graphics 4000 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5  (so the lower end MBPR). I have created new libraries and i have reinstalled the most recent update but it still does it. I was told by my AV teacher who is a Mac Genius to create a new account on my computer and run it through that account and i did and it seems to be fine. how do i fix it on my regular account? what could be wrong? help and advice would be great! Thanks!

    Try to find the differences between your regular account and the new account where Aperture works.
    Compare your preference settings in Aperture.
    Check your start-up items in in the Users&Groups panel. Do you use different start up items when logging in?
    Have you installed any software, that is only used in your account and not installed for all users, like Cameras of Flexibit?
    Make sure your Aperture library is in working condition. Crashes can have left it corrupted, so use the Aperture Library first Aid Tools to repair the permissions and the database, see:
    Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
    SInce the problem is restricted to your account, remove the User preferences from the User Library, if none of the above fixed the problem, see teh paragraph on preferences in
    Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
    and if that does not suffice, remove the presets.

  • Upgrading Photoshop CS6 using the cloud.

    Every time I try to upgrade Photoshop CS6 with the cloud I get error U44MIP7. Then after a few weeks it upgrades ok. Any ideas? I don't think Adobe is really ready to prime time on the cloud yet.

    It appears the 13.0.1.2 update is the problem.
    Here is a summary of the fix:
    1) UNinstall Photoshop (no need to uninstall anything else in CS6)
    2) Reboot your computer (just to make sure nothing is hanging around in memory)
    3) Install Photoshop and immediately quit the Creative Cloud app
    4) Run photoshop
    5) Go to HELP > UPDATES
    6) EXPAND the update group and UNselect the 13.0.1.2 update
    7) Apply the 13.1.2 update

    I am trying to re-install Photoshop CS6. The files have downloaded but I get and error message that the Adobe Support Advisor is required to determine what the installation probIem is. I click on the link that says "get the Support Advisor here only to be told the Support Advisor no longer exists!! A blind loop. I need to have Photoshop CS6 installed...what do I do from here??

    The CC Cleaner Tool assumes the Akamai Download Manager is activated and it has not. It seems to be the missing file that triggers the error message. \in a previous re-install I was prompted to download & install the Akamai Download Manger, but not this time. Is there somewhere on the Adobe website that I can download it??

  • Photoshop CS6 and the iMac

    Hello,
    I use Photoshop CS6 on a 2009 MacBook Pro and it runs great. I have 8GB of RAM
    I am going to be purchasing a 27" iMac soon, but i have heard there are a lot of problems with Photoshop and Mavericks working together.
    I am a computer novice so i am wondering if i should wait to get the iMac or if with a new machine and a new version of Photoshop CS6 i will be able to use Photoshop CS6 on the new iMac without any issues.
    Please let me know your thoughts.
    Thanks so much,
    rick

    See > http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/mac-os-mavericks-compatability.html
    Photoshop CS6 is compatible with OS X Mavericks, but it is true that there are issues. See > https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5475799
    As you can see, there are tricks that have worked for some users, so it is up to you to wait or to get the iMac now. Adobe may release Photoshop CS6 updates in the future to make it work better in Mavericks

  • Why is using Photoshop CS6 as the touchup image editor for Acrobat still a complete failure?

    Image objects in pdfs are losing their positional and other parameters when saved after editing with Photoshop CS6(ONLY).  The problem was acknowledged on the Photoshop forum three months ago, but they said it was up to the Acrobat folks to fix it.  When using most previous versions of Photoshop (CS2-CS5 all tested) as the touchup image editor, Acrobat was able to place the image right back into it's previous position in the pdf and it could  do this without releasing whatever path was used to crop or mask the image (basically it worked great).  However, using Photoshop CS6 as the touchup image editor is still a complete failure.  Any idea when or if this will be fixed?
    Thanks

  • I cannot download Photoshop CS6 from the cloud

    I had a beta version of Photoshop CS6 on my Macbook (OS X 10.7.4) and forgot to uninstall it before downloading Photoshop CS6 through the Adobe Application Manager. When I tried to download Photoshop CS6 I received an error message in the Adobe Application Manager that read "A beta version of this product exists on the computer. Please quit and uninstall that version before continuing."
    I clicked 'Cancel' then quit the Application manager and uninstalled the beta version that I had. I also used spotlight to find any other files that went with the beta verision I had and then trashed all of the files, emptied the trash and restarted my computer.
    After doing all of that I've tried numerous times to download Photoshop CS6 but I keep getting the error message that I still have a beta version of Photoshop CS6 installed.
    I've searched my computer and cannot find any files that pertain to that beta application.
    I don't know what else to do and I REALLY need Photoshop CS6 asap.
    I'm not having any issues downloading the other CS6 applications through the App Manager, only Photoshop, which is the most iportnat program I need.

    Nevermind!
    I just found out about the 'Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool' and downloaded it and ran the tool. Thankfully it found a driver for Photoshop CS6 (beta) that was stilled installed on my computer. I was able to uninstall the driver and trash it. Right now Photoshop seems to be downloading successfully from the App manager. Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't run into any other issues!
    If anyone else is running into a similar issue that I was having download the 'Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool' and run it on your computer.

  • I just downloaded Photoshop CS6 from the Adobe website and I didn't get a serial number.

    I just downloaded Photoshop CS6 from the Adobe website and I didn't get a serial number. Where can I get one? Must I buy a product that was free to download?

    Yes, to get a serial number requires that you purchase the software.  Downloads are almost always free but to have continuous use of a product requires buying a license for it.
