Video stability issues

I've been using arch for about a year now on my desktop system (dual head, nvidia proprietary drivers, i5 x64) and recently upgraded from GNOME 3 to 3.2. Before the upgrade, the video would regularly crash under graphically intensive applications, usually flash but some others. After upgrading, it will fail to boot occasionally and almost every time it goes to sleep, it will fail to resume including being unresponsive to ssh, ping etc. Any ideas?

I should probably also ask, are there any logs I can look at/post that would direct me to what exactly is crashing? Sometimes the crashes act like a forkbomb where the time between monitor updates keeps doubling until its frozen solid

How to diagnose software / driver / video card issue?

My computer has been freezing up on a regular basis for the past few weeks . . .
I initially assumed it to be a bad stick of RAM, but I was able to reproduce the lockup with each stick individually.
I tried downgrading the kernel (but not Xorg or nvidia drivers), and that didn't fix anything.
At this point I don't really know enough (especially related to Arch specifically) as to how (which) log files to check for a reported error and issue.
The main issue of locking up occurs when I'm watching something on VLC at full screen. It's exacerbated with browsing or doing other stuff at the same time.
After a lockup I don't know if I should be checking journalctl / dmesg / Xorg.log / htop / etc . . .
Any advice / direction of stuff I can be checking after a crash would be MUCH appreciated. It really sucks not being able to use my PC like I used to.
If it help any my board/RAM are ~6yrs old, but the gfx card is new as of this year (I am using the regular nvidia drivers and multilib): EVGA 02G-P4-2645-KR GeForce GT 640

Hi, I also have stability issues so I am also interested in tips how to diagnose an unstable system. In my case, in journalctl the problems right before freezing can be seen, e.g.

I tried various video drivers; nvidia 304, 325, 331 and nouveau, but in any case the system freezes after playing video for half an hour or so. The problem is more rare on a 32 bit installation than 64 bit, so perhaps you could move from 64 to 32 bit?
sorry for your troubles! i am not sure what the exact issue is, but i am on nvidia w/ video troubles as well . . . i have been running atop 24/7 and notice high r/w use of my disk at times when playback starts to stutter . . .
i haven't had a full-on lockup in days, but have still had one in recent time. i am not really sure how to trouble shoot this further.

InDesign CS5 Stability Issues

I got really fed up today.
Trying to resize a magazine, all the articles are individual documents compiled in a book. So each "chapter" is at least 3 pages and at most 15.
I adore the spanning columns feature, I've got sevral articles that this is very handy to setup. But I find the whole program is completely unstable when using this feature.
I started removing the anchored text frames and applying the spanning columns for the headers, with a paragraph rule above for the background colour.
But if I click around too quickly the whole program freezes and won't budge. I could be selecting an anchored frame to remove it. Or changing paragraph style, or simply opening another panel.
I checked the Task Manager and watched for 15 minutes as InDesign consumed more and more memory - going from 150k to 650k in about 10 minutes.
This happened a bunch of times. I restarted, reset my prefs, exported to idml, and all the other nick nack fixes.
Indesign just keeps bombing out. At which point i have to end the process and then restart indesign and I lose a tiny bit of work.
So frustrated today - over seemingly simple tasks, like selecting something, and the program crashes. This behaviour does not happen when I am not using Span Columns.
Is anyone else having stability issues with CS5 and Spanned Columns?

Thanks Bob
I thought myself that there was a lot going on. And I appreciate that. But thinking about it, the only addition here is the spanning of columns and balanced columns.
I was at one stage incorpartaing detect edges on an image and had to give up on it because there was a 3 minute delay on simple things like cutting the image (as a test).
I just feel that perhaps more could be done in speeding up InDesign.
I've had a hard enough time updating the software, upgrading the hardware is going to be tough.
I don't think Indesign CS5 minimum specs included a supercomputer either?

Stability issues, playback stutters, and occasional crashes with 8.1 update

Hi all, I'm having a bunch of weird stability issues with Premiere CC 8.1 on Mac OSX Mavericks 10.9.5. I'm working on a medium sized 1080p project with about 60-80 pieces of media totaling about 60GB. Footage was from a DSLR and was transcoded into prores 422 for editing.
Initially after updating to 8.1 and creating my project I didn't notice any issues but after progressing further in the edit and adding additional video tracks, titles, and a couple small AE comps I've noticed a pretty drastic falloff in performance. I will get occasional crashes and playback is slow to respond. After pressing spacebar or L it'll hang for anywhere from a few seconds to a minute before actually playing back. During playback it'll get caught up and hang and I have to stop playback and wait a bit for things to return to normal. I'm also experiencing performance issues scrubbing through footage in my project bins.
I've tried some basic troubleshooting like cache clearing, preference trashing, video driver updating, and un- and reinstalling to no avail. It'll sometimes work ok but usually displays most of the above issues. I've been using premiere for a bit over a year now and haven't experienced any of these issues on my other older machines, let alone my new MBP. Premiere is usually very snappy and misbehaves rarely.
Technical bits:
Premiere CC (2014) v8.1

Mac OSX Mavericks 10.9.5
2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
1TB Apple SSD

Hi Ian,
Is it possible to reinstall your GPU drivers? I have heard that this might be at the heart of this issue. Also, trash preferences. Here is the full list I'm asking Mac folks to try.
Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
Update any GPU drivers
Trash preferences
Ensure Adobe preference files are set to read/write
Delete media cache
Remove plug-ins
Repair permissions
In Sequence Settings > Video Previews, change the codec to one that matches your footage
Disconnect any third party hardware
Reboot
Report back if anything here worked for you.
Thanks,
Kevin

N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC Stability Issues

Hello! I've recently purchased an MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC and I'm having the much talked about stability issues (CTD, black screens etc.). From what I've read it seems like the best solution is to tweak the voltage in Afterburner until you find a stable solution and then after thorough testing, request a custom BIOS flash.
Is this the best way to go? I'm presently at work so I can't actually get started right away but I'd like to have a game plan in hand for when I get home tonight. Currently my card clock settings should be what they were out of the box although I've also read that some cards didn't come over clocked so what it says on the box might not be exactly what it's running at. I can look up the various card details this evening if it's necessary.
Also I'm not super concerned if I had to down clock or if the card didn't come over clocked. I just want to get it running stably

Neo4 SLI Stability Issues

Hello all, I'm having some stability issues with my new setup. Check my specs below in sig for hardware setup.
My system installed XP just fine. After that, it crashed over and over. Blue screens, lock ups, whatever... system never, or has, been stable ever since. Lately, the system has been fairly stable, except when I start games that are graphics heavy. For example, I play Joint Operations: Escalation, and when the game starts an online session, it locks up. Always at the exact same point. I've rolled back my nvidia drivers, changed video cards to an identical 6800 Ultra, and have had the same results.
I've run memtest86 for 3 passes, and no errors. My PSU is an Antec TrueBlue 480 with the following specs, +3.3V@30A;+5V@38A;[email protected]; +12V@22A;[email protected];+5VSB@2A.
Does anyone have any thoughts? I'm really at a loss here. I'm not a n00b as I'm a sysadmin by trade, but need some expert help right about now.
Thanks in advance!

haha, at first I was in the same boat. Driver updates seemed to help, but the instability isn't all gone. I just finished a C&C Zero Hour game without problem, so it only seems to be certain games. But the certain games are my favorite ones...

WINDOWS VISTA ITUNES VIDEO PLAYBACK ISSUE!!!!!! AAHHHHHHH!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!

am using a Dell XPS GEN 5 PC with Windows Vista Premium Edition as the current OS installed. I have latested up date for Itunes and QuickTime (7.1.6) Installed. I have recently bought and downloaded 3 of the Original Star Trek Tv Shows from Itunes. When I try and play one of them, they don't work. The Screen comes up, the show starts, then stops. Sometimes the sound keeps on playing, and then stops. Sometimes it just dosent even come on. I'm guessing (as a highly advanced Windows PC User) That this ia a "video/playback issue, related to a Apple/Vista Compatibility problem. I would like help solving this problem.

hi slideaway!
my computer has a right proper meltdown, switching itself off and restarting to a "Windows has recovered from a serious error" sort of message.
good lord. are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

Did Apple fix the video quality issue in iMovie '09?

I am a casual video editor and iMovie 08 had the perfect user experience / functionality for what I want to do.
However, the known video quality issue (throwing away interlaced scan lines) made the result unacceptable since I archive our family video on DVDs. I have been forced to use iMovie HD for that reason. I have tried tricks such as converting the original DV files to AIF and deinterlace prior to import into iMovie08 but that did not seem to work either.
So does anyone know if Apple fixed the video quality issue in iMovie '09.
MESSAGE TO APPLE IF YOU ARE LISTENING:
Please fix the video quality in iMovie09 if not already. Yes, the quality is ok for YouTube or Internet video but for those of us who want simple editing to archive our family video we cannot accept poor video quality. Dropping an interlace field effectively halves the vertical resolution. Thank you.

Please explain this in more detail when you say Adaptive Deinterlacer. Are you talking about another program? If so, what program and what are the specific steps.
Also, sounds like you are recommending imovie09. By saying to do the above, are you saying imovie09 still causes you too loose significant quality like imovie08? Are you saying you can use imovie08 or imovie09 with these steps to get high quality video or just imovie09? I guess I just need more specifics on how you do what you are describing and how imovie09 fits into this versus imovie08. I joined this whole discussion trying to figure out if upgrading imovie09 made a difference regarding the whole quality issue. I know it has more features, but I am more concerned about he quality of the video right now. Thanks.

Massive stability issues - Disk Utility repair failed, hardware test failed

Hi,
I am having massive stability issues. The installer will not install anything, programs are quitting randomly, and it is getting very annoying!
I read through a lot of posts and I have attempted to:
Repair my disk using the install cd: but that failed.
I did a Hardware test: but i had an error relating to fonts (?), couldn't see anything on the screen and I couldn't do anything.
Is there something else I could do that I haven't tried?
I have had my PB for a little over a year and have had no issues like this before. All of these issues seemed to start when I was playing a game and it suddenly just quit; I then couldn't go back into the game or re-install the game.
Help!!
12" Powerbook G4 1.5Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 768 RAM

Hi, Dan.
You wrote: "Repair my disk using the install cd: but that failed."That's a big problem. You won't get very far until the problems noted by Repair Disk, the function I presume you ran based on your description, are sorted out. It's possible the hard drive has failed.
If the Apple Hardware Test failed, that's another significant problem. If it produces messages you can read that describe the failure, write them down. The machine may need to be serviced by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
As to your next steps, first run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified to see what's up with your disk and if anything can be done to correct that.
Good luck!

Video Pixelation Issue - New HP Pavilion 15-P008TX Notebook - Windows 8.1

Ahoy,
I've seen topics regarding this issue - i.e. first day running a new HP Pavilion 15-P008TX, using Windows 8.1...
However the video quality on videos being played from the DVD Drive, HDD, and streamed videos (e.g YouTube) are extremely low quality.
Unfortunately I can't screenshot the issue - the best way to describe it would be to say that the videos look like YouTube videos being viewed on 144p
DVDs, and even 1080p videos are low quality and pixelated...
So far I've tried the following to no avail:
- Uninstalling and Reinstalling intergrated video drivers (Intel HD 4400) and Nvidia 3D drivers (Geforce 830M)
- Switching scaled views in the display section
- Installing VLC (with the latest codecs) to test if it was a codec issue
- Running a windows update
- Changing Graphic settings that may intefere with issues in quality (both Intel HD settings app and Nvidia 3D settings)
Windows Apps and programs aren't affected, only video playback.
First day of using my new HP Notebook, and i'm hoping to resolve this issue promptly.
Cheers.

Video playback issues in Air for Android

Hello everybody
I am developing an advertisement application which plays multiple videos. I have faced a very strange problem: nor the simple Video nor the StageVideo are not visible when I run the app on target android device. I can hear the audio but the only way to get the video is to press back button and then get back to app but in this case the video goes over the UI. This happens only on a target device which is a chinese sibo android tablet. It has android 4.1 on board. I have seen a lot of people had the similar issues:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5429125
but the solution mentioned there - adding <containsVideo>true</containsVideo> to the manifest xml doesnt help
I am using adobe air 4.0 sdk and the air 4.0 runtime on the device. I have tried to change renderMode to CPU/Direct/Auto but it doesn change anything.
The other three android devices I have - toshiba thrive tablet(4.0.4)/ eken tablet(4.2.2)/ htc desire c(4.0.3) play all the video content without any problem.
Any advice will be highly appreciated,
Max

Hello, guys! I have a bit of an issue with the new video message feature of Skype. That is, the option to send a video message is grayed out on every contact I have on Skype, but my friends can send me video messages and I can view them without any problems.
Skype version: 6.21.59.104 (searching for updates yields me that I have the latest version of Skype)
Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 (100% legal)
Camera: Turbo-X 1080P Full HD with built-in microphone (functions perfectly during video calls)
Internet Speed: Average of 100Mbps if I remember correctly. Fairly fast and functional 100% of the time (I don't know if it is relevant)
Note: I have no Facebook or Live contacts on my contact list. I do not log in as Invisible. Some of my friends do, but the option is grayed out for everyone, not just those that are Invisible. The only personal modification I have done for Skype is to block the advertisments by blocking access to apps.skype.com through my Control Panel.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It seems that everything you are telling me to do about video messaging is not working. Even going to the Help, About to check for the latest version of Skype is not working. I downloaded the latest version just in case. I want to send a video message but the instructions tell me to 1. Click on the contact and then 2. Click on the plus sign. When I click on the contact, I do not get a plus sign. I get a dialog box that has a paper clip beside it. I click on the paper clip and it has the "Send Video Message" there. I click on that and Skype tells me there is a problem. What do I need to do?
Help please. Thank you.
Most likely you are on the new Skype version with a different design of user interface.

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit option).
Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.

Video playback issue in Presenter 9

Hi
I have Office 2013 and Presenter 9. Everything works as outlined in the various tutorials etc but there is no video when I run the presentation.
I get audio only.
Is it a video format issue? What is best?
Thanks
Scott

Are you inserting the video through the Presenter Insert Video function or through the PPT Insert Media function?
Presenter will convert all supported video formats into FLV, except MP4, which it leaves as MP4. If you can have your video in either FLV or MP4 before inserting into Presenter, then it leaves Presenter's video conversion tool out of the list of possible problems, and you retain more control over video quality settings.

Performance / stability issues with BDB 3.3.62 while checkpointing

Hi,
first of all: we use BDB 3.2 for more than a year within our application and we never had any performance or stability issues. Now we are about to release a new version of our software with BDB 3.3 and we found some problems during our release tests.
This is the situation: we have implemented some cleanup routines that make very heavy use of the BDB environment. The common usage pattern is to scan the database (about 300GB with >> 100 million items) and than delete a lot of items from the database. The first versions of our cleanup routine worked without any problem but during performance tuning of our code we suddenly and reproducible encountered segmentation faults in the com.sleepycat.je.recovery.Checkpointer thread. We analysed more that 10 VM crashes and ALL crashes were related to Checkpointer thread. (Linux 64 bit, JDK 1.5.0_013 / 1.6.0_06)
After we removed our performance tuning (only application logic – nothing BDB-related) the VM crashes disappeared – so it looks like some kind of problem which only occurs under high load conditions. Next thing we tried was enabling our performance tuning and setting Ceckpointer configuration to default (write a checkpoint after 20MB) before that we used time based checkpointing with 60 sec interval.
With Default Checkpointer configuration there were no VM-crashes but performance was very slow!
Finally my question: What Checkpointer configuration would you recommend for an environment that is under very high load with regard to delete operations? Would you recommend using “high priority Checkpointing”? Would you recommend time- or data-based checkpointing?
It looks like Checkpointing every 60 seconds was not a good idea but 20MB seems to be too slow.
This leads to another question: What does a longer Checkpointing interval mean for recovery time? Does recovery take substantially longer if checkpointing is done less fequently?
Any help would be very much apprechiated.
Here are two HS_ERR_PID
