Stuttering 3D rendering and crashing games: Nvidia 8600GT

I haven't played a single game in a good two months, and when I went to try to play Torcs, it crashed. Same with Ultimate Stunts. Super Maryo World and Maniadrive stutter, with top reporting that my Athlon 4600x2 is running at 100%. Sauerbraten, however, couldn't run finer. GLX Gears is giving a really poor score of about 1500FPS. I've freshly run Pacman to make sure everything's up to date. My latest-rev. drivers are installed through the repository, and were certainly working okay as of two months ago. Perhaps a setting default changed upstream and others are having this problem? I really need a suggestion on where to look.
Xorg is as follows:

Very slow Rendering and Exporting

Hello,
I switched to Premiere CS6 from FCP 7 after FCPX came out and haven't looked back. In a lot of ways, it's much better for certain tasks.
In others, it's not. Initially playing back "red-lined" content worked fine and i was able to view the edit before I committed to render/export.
Now, I see every 10 frames or so and it skips and stutters. Rendering and exporting times have spiked dramatically over the past month
for some unknown reason. I have a small prod company and we're using Mac Pro's (8-Core) with min of 16GBs of RAM in each.
I know there are 101 factors that go into export time, I'm just wondering if anyone if encountering the same issues.
I just pieced together a 10-min video in FCP7, all ProRes files with minimal cutting and it exported in 2.5 minutes.
The same project on Premiere was telling me 3 hours. I don't get it.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks
Dan

Rendering times are not decided purely on the length of the video.
The type of effects you have added have more impact.
Also you cannot always trust the estimated time you are given.
Have you let it render for about an hour to see whether the estimate drops dramatically?

Problem with Wine, NVidia and fullscreen games

Hi,
I'm writing about a problem i recently noticed with wine, nvidia gpu and fullscreen 2d games.Basically the problem is as follows - i am running arch with the latest kernel and nvidia drivers on Thinkpad T61 with NVidia Quadro NVS 140M. I have a problem with old 2d games like Red Alert 2, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Diablo 2, Heroes 3. All of these games do not support the native 1440x900 resolution of my screen and all of them work fine in window mode but crash if fullscreen is selected. I managed to get some of them working by making them work at higher resolutions. For example although Red Alert 2 does not support 1440x900, it can be easily made to work at that resolution and after i applied the necessary settings it worked. The same was with Heroes 3 - by default it does not support 1440x900 and it used to work only i window mode but there is a HD mod which allows it to run in higher resolutions and after i applied it it worked perfectly in fullscreen. I haven't thested Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale but i think it will work there too.
The problem is that i cannot use this approach to all games - for example i must run Diablo 2 and Starcraft in their original resolutions. I read somewhere that the problem is that wine can only change between the resolutions described in the xorg.conf file and if doesn't find the necessary resolution the game will crash or will only take the portion of the screen that is its resolution - for example when i play Starcraft rather than stretching it to the whole screen it simply takes 640x480 pixels of my screen and the game is displayed in the top left corner of the screen leaving everything else black.
I didn't have this problem before - it is something new though i'm not sure since when do i have the problem because i rarely play games. As for the idea that the problem may be related to the resolutions defined in the Xorg.conf file, my xorg.conf is automatically generated by the nvidia installer and there are no resolutions defined there.

Try nvidia 304.48
I remember that issue, with the 302 series.
I have Nvidia 304.48 installed and the problem still exists (it also happens with Catalyst). This didn't occur with 295.59 using the same version of Wine.

Does anyone have the same problem with my new iMac?

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
find . $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "35." Please post it in a reply.

Premiere elements keep crashing with rendering and mid editing!

Hey
I have used adobe premiere elements 10 for a little over a month now. But recently pre began to crash then I was rendering a video!
I began searching on "Adobe premiere elements 10 rendering crash", but didn't find a answer. But, I notices that some people had the problem with render crash when the process bar reached 27%, I tried rendering two times in a row, and notices that my rendering where crashing at 31%!
I have really no clue what the problem could be!
4g ram
3,20ghz cpu intel
64bit

Also see this article on PrE crashing, or hanging: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/792580?tstart=0
It starts with a checklist for PrE, then goes into detail on tuning up one's system and OS, and then goes into troubleshooting problems, with links to other articles, and also tools to help troubleshoot the problem(s). The first part is pretty easy, and then things pick up in "degree of difficulty," as you progress, ending with The Case of the Unexplained.

AOL problems and crashes during games

Folks:
Most every time I download software updates, I cannot access AOL. It happened again yesterday. I tried trashing the preferences, but that hasn't worked.
Also, certain games we play crash suddenly and for no reason. We don't have this problem with other programs, just games. We're able to relaunch the game and play again, for the most part. Could that be a RAM problem and if so, why since we have a gig of RAM and these games don't call for that much?
Thanks for any and all help.

Hi Again Theresa!
I also had some updates, that needed to be installed on my MacBook, so I installed them this afternoon, to see if I could replicate your experience.
Sure enough, AOL hung on Initializing!
So after quitting, and force quitting AOL, I moved the files and folders listed below, to the Trash.
I then restarted the MacBook, ran Repair Permissions for good measure, and loaded AOL.
It took longer than usual, but it did finish starting!
In HD > Users > Home Account > Library > Preferences:
AOL a folder
com.aol.aol.plist a file
In HD > Users > Shared > America Online:
Access Numbers a file
Art Database a file
Bart Cache a folder
Buddy Icon Cache a folder
Disconnect Log a file

Session Diagnostics a file
If this procedure works for you, don't forget to reset the AOL Preferences.

I have ipad 2 16gb wifi, recently it starts autorestart and crashs out of games and apps, more than 20 times aday- tried to restore, updated to the latest 7.0.4 but still the same problem

i have ipad 2 16gb wifi, since 3 months it started to autorestart and crash out of games and apps, more than 20 times aday- tried to restore-install as new ipad- soft and hard reset-, updated to the latest 7.0.4 but still the same problem
plz help....

Vinayaka-
After all you've tried, Dah*veed is probably right about needing warranty assistance.
But first check to be sure Settings-Airplane Mode is set to OFF, and Settings-WiFi-WiFi is set to ON.
Try unplugging your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad's network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect to your WiFi.

Qosmio G40 - graphic card keeps overheating and crashing while gaming

My nVidia 8600GT card in my Qosmio G40 laptop keeps overheating and crashing when Im gaming.
It runs all the games I put on it fine, but overheats then crashes and kicks me out of the games Im playing.
Is it just because its a laptop and its prone to do this?
I have tried to increase the fan speed using riva tuner and precision, but neither program allows me to access to the fan speed utility.
I presume this is because its a laptop specific card... I also cannot find driver updates for this card from nVidia.
Please help.....James

Hi!
Are you using the Toshiba display driver? This is important because the manufactures driver dont have an overheat protection and so the graphic chip can be damaged.
Furthermore this could be also an overheating issue. So you should clean your notebook with compressed air spray that you can buy from a local computer dealer.
Last but not least I would not try to change the fan speed or something else. This will be controlled automatically.

Question: I have tried all the Adobe recommended fixes due to my NVidia graphics card but my project still regularly crashes and now as soon as it starts loading the elements, it crashes with no error message.

              NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS Display Adapter with newest 64 bit driver 266.58
Assets:   About 300 still images imported from an album in Photoshop elements shot with a Cannon Power Shot a570 IS
              Stills are at 3072 x 2304 or vice version, RGB, 180 resolution
              27 short video clips from a Kodak Zi6 converted to avi files by AVS Video Converter
Project: I believe the presets are for NTSC DV although I can't get in to check; they've been this way because I usually shoot video with my Sony VX 2100.
Workflow: I imported the stills in chronological order preceding the first video. Then more stills in chronological order before the next relevant video. I am using the timeline. After each import I save, add transitions (mostly the cross dissolve), save, and render. Sometimes after saving rendered files, the system crashes and when I get back in the files haven't been rendered.
     Some vertical stills it accepts just fine. For some others, I have to rotate them.
What I have done: I read all the suggestions from Adobe and the forums for dealing with the NVIDIA card. This is what I have done in the approximate order I have done it:
     1. Installed the 8.0.1 update
     2. Updted the NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS driver to the newest 64 bit driver 266.58. I tried to do this update a couple of times. The sytem kept telling me the 260 driver was current but the NVIDIA website said to use the 266.58. I finally got it installed but a little later in the process.
     3. I could not disable the Hardware Acceleration as the NVIDIA card would not let me...the option was grayed out.
     4. I set both the global and the Premiere Elements threaded optimination to off.
     5. I turned off "Enable GPU playback" at one time when I could still get into the program.
     6. I recreated the adobe premiere elments plugincache.
     7. I uninstalled the Nvidia 3D Stereo driver...it was called Stereo not steroscopic. In the NVIDIA control panel I did not install the Stereoscopic functions.
     8. I was still crashing frequently. I was getting the low memory message, so I searched the forums and found directions to change the size of the paging file by clicking Start/accessories/run as administrator/enter at the command prompt BCDEDIT/SET INCREASEUSERVA ####. I started with 3072 then gradually increased as it wasn't helping up to 8000.
     9. I think I finally upgraded the driver to the 266.58 at this point.
    10. This morning I found directions on how to check the size of the paging file by accessing the control panel. It showed my paging file was only 4096 (I guess the former advice didn't work) and it changed it to a virtual memory minimum of 8000 and a maximum of 10000.
     Now I can't get into the program at all. It says it has loaded 100%, then there is a 100 second pause. It starts loading the media and crashes.
I love Adobe products and was a former Adobe Premiere 6.5 user. Premiere Elements as described is perfect for me as a video hobbyist. Please help! I would welcome any more suggestions that I can try. Do you think I should just find a replacement for the NVidia board? If so, what would you recommend. I tend to do long projects. I just can't live with all these crashes.
Sincerely,
Tracy Matern
[email protected]

Tracy,
Great job with the details - very well done!
This should be a "poster-child" for how to state details, and a problem.
Now, first thing that I see, regarding the crashes are the size of your still images. Overly-large stills require a ton of resources, and can crash the program, and/or the computer. Scaling of the stills to near the Frame Size of the Project will help greatly, and actually improve the quality of the output. This ARTICLE will give you tips.
Next, with a 64-bit OS, like Win7-64, 4GB of RAM is about the minimum for just the OS. Though PrE cannot use more than the 3.5GB of RAM, as it is still a 32-bit app., but the OS and other programs, certainly can. I would bump that up, if at all possible. Your OS and any other programs, will love you for it.
Off the top of my head, it sounds like you have got the video sub-system well handled, and would look beyond it (for now), to other factors.
You might want to see this ARTICLE on setting up a computer for video-editing sessions, and especially the link to Black Viper's Win7 Tune Up Tips Web site.
Also, check that you have the latest version of Apple's QT Player.
If necessary, there are more troubleshooting tips, and I'll be glad to share those, if necessary.
Thanks for the great post, and good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Pro CC(V.8.0) sluggish and crashes during Playback

Issue:
Premiere Pro CC(V.8.0) extremely sluggish and crashes during Playback. My video won't play at all unless I render (which is no problem). I render all my clips and attempt to play it back. It usually will allow me to watch it the first time around. After that, the program freezes up or becomes extremely sluggish. I have even had a blank green screen pop up on my playback monitor. Sometimes the program will generate the message "A Serious Error has occurred" and will shut down. Other times, the program just locks up. I am not running any other programs except email.
Here is what I've tried:
Cleared all my cache files
Set my Mercury Playback set to "Software only"
Restarted the program and computer after doing the above.
Made sure I had no RGB Curves as an effect (as I did see that was an issue from other threads)
Deleted all unused footage
Deleted all render files and re-rendered everything.
I am editing footage that requires Ultra Key. I am using a Three-Way Color Corrector. My video isn't even 1 minute long, so I would think it would be easy to render and playback.
Here is what I am working on (I know I need an upgrade - was hoping to after I finished this client's project):
Macbook Pro 2008
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB
Software OS X 10.9.3
HELP! This is seriously slowing my workflow and my project is due tomorrow. Any advice would be appreciated.

N650-1GD5/OCV1 freeze with artifacts and crash

Good morning everyone
First of all, I will start to present the configuration of my computer
PSU: Sirtec High Power 500W Bronze, PFC Active
MB: MSI 970A-G43 (bought 2 weeks ago)
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 240 (2.8 GHz) - Running stock with AMD Cooler since i bought it, around 35-43 C operating
temperature
RAM: KingMax 4GB DDR3 1333 MHz (1 x 4GB Module)
VGA: N650-1GD5/OCV1 (MSI GeForce GTX 650, running with stock cooler and stock frequency, i have never oc on it)
HDD1: WD 640GB Caviar Black Edition, SATA2 32MB Cache
HDD2: WD 500 GB Caviar Blue, SATA2, 16MB Cache
DVD Writer 1: LG GH22NS50
DVD Writer 2: Optiarc AD-7280S
Card Reader 3.5"
I'm an very very casual gamer, i play games once or twice a week; in the last period i didn't played games for one month; i've used my pc for mail, office, watching movies, messenger, facebook, web browsing, hdd data recovery, programming php. Before upgrading to 970A-G43, i had the same configuration - except MB and RAM (i used for 4 years K9A2GM V3 with 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800 KingMax and the actually N650-1GD5/OCV1; played games with no problems).
After the upgrade, i installed OS Windows XP SP3 with clean install, AHCI Mode, latest drivers - no problems 'till there. I have installed latest version of DirectX 9.0c and some games: Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed. All with same problem: pc freezes with artifacts and then freeze - sometimes after 3-4 minutes of playing, othertimes after 10-15 minutes.
I've checked the RAM with MemTest86 for one night, no errors. I've checked the CPU and GPU Temperature, all stable (CPU around 40, GPU around 70 under full load). I've stressed up the system with Prime95 and Furmark latest version running at the same time - all stable (Tested for 30 minutes, CPU around 43 C, GPU around 85 C - no freeze, no crash).I installed 3D Mark 06, i ran it and it freezes in-time of first test or after it.
VGA driver was 320.49 WHQL initially, downloaded from nvidia website. I uninstalled it, cleaned my OS with Driver Sweeper, installed latest version from MSI Website (MSI Graphics Driver 306.81 ). Both drivers, same problems.
I'm pretty sure that there is no problem with PSU or MB's VRM (VRM supports 125W TDP, CPU is running 65W. My old boad K9A2GM V3 has only 65W and there were no problem). If there were problems, the system would crash in prime 95 and furmark running at the same time, i think.
I didn't tested yet my VGA on other PC, neither another VGA in my PC.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
P.S.: In BIOS, all is set on AUTO - except DDR Speed - Manually set to 1333 MHZ with auto timings.
C1E Enabled, Cool and Quiet Activated, EUP 2013 Enabled.
I have flashed MB to latest BIOS, v10.3; same problem
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

VGA Card is dead. Probably at least one memory chip died or has errors on it. Testet on another PC and results are same, in 3D Mark and Crysis 3 too.
I sent the card to warranty services.
Problem is solved.

P45 Platinum [MS-7512] booting and crashing issues

Hello all,
Upgraded my PC with new hw and faced with annoying problem:
I can boot it only 1 time of 20-30 (roughly) attempts, the typical symptoms are (word-for-word from https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=118779.0 post):
All the led of (group 1,3 and 4) turns red and group 2 turns green. According to the manual it says ''memory detection test. Testing onboard memory size. The D-LED will hang if the memory module is damage or not installed properly.''
Problem arose after I'd replaced ATI HD3850 with nVidia GTX260, no other changes were made.
Tested another pair of DIMMs - the same behaviour.
My config:
Intel E8400 / MSI P45 Platinum [MS-7512 PCB 1.0] / Corsair XMS2 [TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF] 4096Mb (2x2048Mb) PC2-8500 1066MHz DDR2 / Inno3D nVidia GeForce GTX260 / Hyper 620W PSU / 4 HDDs / Creative X-Fi / Windows XP Pro SP3 32bit
Initial BIOS version was 1.0, all BIOS settings are default (used load default optimal settings), no overclocking.
After MSI released version 1.1 I flashed it that solves problem with booting but my PC started freezing and crashing several times a day, also tried other beta version found there https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=117741.0 :
1.2b4 - the same as 1.1
P.0b16 - testing now no crashes still
Again, all BIOS settings are default, no overclocking, BIOS flashed with CMOS clearing and loading default optimal settings.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
colibri

Because of both - motherboard and DIMMs support 1066MHz, memory works on 1066Mhz by default, in my case under heavy loads (games for example) PC freezes or reboots randomly.
After changing FSB/DRAM ratio to 1:1.2 (800Mhz for DRAM) as Jack the Newbie suggested (thanks!) system became stable.
The question what about 1066Mhz remains open, different BIOS versions set different voltages to DRAM (version 1.0 - less than 2.1V and system doesn't boot with 1066Mhz DDR2 which needs 2.1V (correct me if i'm wrong, don't want to reflash just to check this statement) - versions 1.1 and later set 2.1V - which is perfect for overclocked DDR2 but doesn't assure stable system in my case. BTW I haven't tested with 2.2V yet may be it helps.

HP Pavilion Elite e91804 experiencing lock-ups and crashing after LWSEP

1. Product name and number: HP Pavilion Elite e91804
2. Operating system: Windows 7 64 bit
3. No error message (other than blue screen)
4. My most recent change was sending my computer in for the Limited Warranty Service Enhancement Program, and receiving a new motherboard.
Before I sent my computer in for the LWSEP I was experiencing lock-ups and crashes only when I was multi-tasking (playing video games, listening to music, and having tabs open in firefox).
So I sent my computer in for the LWSEP to receive a new motherboard to fix these crashes, however after receiving my computer from them, the lock-ups and crashing have not been fixed and, in fact, have gotten worse. My computer will now lock-up and crash whenever I attempt to stream anything, be that music, video, etc. I can still occasionally play video games, assuming that I am doing nothing else, and that my computer cooperates with me (not locking up), but this only happens about 1/3 of the time.
My main confusion is that sending my computer in was supposed to fix my problem, not make it worse. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Firefox keeps stalling and crashing; Adobe plug-in has been updated, but still says it's "out of date" on my add-in page...

I don't have any "out of the norm" add-ons...
I recently experienced Firefox continuously crashing whenever I try to attach a PDF to an e-mail in Yahoo (not a large file size - about 300kb). I checked my add-ons to see if there was an issue there, and noticed there was a message stating "Adobe Acrobat is known to be vulnerable and should be updated message", even though I thought I had already updated it.
I went ahead and re-downloaded anyhow... it successfully installs, and then I still get the same error message.
Furthermore, this issue was recently added on top of my Firefox already running slow and crashing... I often clear my cache and have tried running in safe-mode as well, although this doesn't allow me full capabilities...
The only thing that seems to be different is the issue with the Adobe Add-on and a recent Java update. Are there instabilities in these?
How do I fix the issue with Adobe? I need to be able to upload, download, and view PDFs...

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
