I am having an issue where Vista blue screens on big (1gb+) files during verification. It happens almost every time, and I never had an issue before 0.4.6. Any ideas?
Core 2 Duo E6400
Nvidia nForce 7150 mobo
2gb DDR2 800
300gb boot drive
1.4tb Raid 5 array (download/verify location)

Re: Vista Crash on Download and Verify
Does the bluescreen give any issues? Could be anything, from bad RAM to overheating or old motherboard chipset drivers.

Re: Vista Crash on Download and Verify
When Windows comes backup, it claims its a problem with the USB driver. The only 2 devices I have in use are a D-Link Bluetooth adapter and a Microsoft MCE receiver. I have unplugged and disabled the BT dongle and it still occurs. The system is stable aside from when par2.exe is running from a sabnzbd process. I have also noticed that if a download is not complete, ie with bad/missing blocks, it will crash everytime. So at this point it looks like par2 is the culprit. If i run quickpar to manually check the files it runs properly.
Re: Vista Crash on Download and Verify
You could try using the non-multicore version of par2.
Go to C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\win\par2\
Rename par2.exe to par2-old.exe
Copy and paste par2-classic.exe, rename Copy of par2-classic.exe to par2.exe
Go to C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\win\par2\
Rename par2.exe to par2-old.exe
Copy and paste par2-classic.exe, rename Copy of par2-classic.exe to par2.exe

Re: Vista Crash on Download and Verify
I switched the Par2 versions and it still crashed during a repair/unpack.
Re: Vista Crash on Download and Verify
What happens if you let SABnzbd do just the downloading (so no post processing)?
After that run par2 manually from a command prompt.
If you system still crashes it's either your system or par2.
The par2-classic.exe program is the one that 70% of downloaders use.
After that run par2 manually from a command prompt.
Code: Select all
cd THE-RIGHT-FOLDER
par2 r NAME-OF-A-PAR-FILE
unrar x NAME-OF-FIRST-RAR-FILE
The par2-classic.exe program is the one that 70% of downloaders use.

Re: Vista Crash on Download and Verify
I broke down and did a removal of the nvidia drivers using uninstaller and driver cleaner, and did a fresh install of the drivers that dropped last week. That in combination of a UPS that was connected via USB (I forgot about it being connected), this has resolved the issue. Thanks for all of the help though!
