Asymptomatic silent crash while app is idle

PostThu Sep 27, 2018 6:51 pm

Hi,
How are you?

I'm working with Resolve 15.0.0.088 on Windows 10.

When I'm actively working on a project with the app, it rarely crashes (just sometimes under heavy load).
The problem shows in the following situation… I usually leave the application open and block the computer for a while; when I come back to continue working, the following happens in a random fashion (sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't) :
The Resolve application windows is closed, but the process is still alive in the Windows process manager, it is consuming 0% cpu and around 1Gb of RAM or less. I can't open Resolve again because when I do so it takes me to the existing process that is "asleep" and nothing happens. (so to reopen the app I first have to kill the existing process)
I can't reproduce the problem at will, and as it happens many times a day, it is a bit uncomfortable, and although I save frequently and I have the auto save enabled, there is certain risk of loosing some work.

The whole thing is completely silent; there are no crash windows, messages, or any other indicator of a problem. The application window is not there anymore, and that's it.

I would really appreciate any help on troubleshooting this issue.
As I haven't been able to establish any pattern of actions that leads to the problem, except the one I have already described, I don't know what other information to provide to better describe the issue, but I will be willing to do so if someone guides me.

Thank you very much !!
Regards !
Ricardo

Run the Crash Log app and send a copy of this file to Blackmagic Support.

Make sure power profile is set to High Performance and that Sleep mode is OFF.

Also, try Resolve 15.1.1.

Hi,
Thank you very much for your answers!

Regarding the power plan, it is set to never sleep.
I'm planning to move to 15.1.x but not just right now (but soon, I promise :-))

Meanwhile I'm uploading the logfile generated with the crash tool. .... well I've tried several times to upload the file here but it doesn't allow me to . So this is a link to a share in the cloud with the file

Hi,

I upgraded version to 15.1.x and the problem is still there, and even more frequently than before.
I uploaded the logs a few days ago but I'm not sure if this is the right place to do it, as nobody seems to have noticed, or at least nobody answered.
If I have to upload them to another place, please tell me.

Thank you!
Regards
