Cumulus crashed my computer

Post by aznetcowboy »

Cumulus really crashed like nothing I've never seen before. I finally had to force a reboot just to get it to close after it told me to submit to you the debug log (attached) and I also am sending the daig files (attached).

When it crashes, the exception handler asks you you to upload the bugreport.txt file, not the debug.log file. I can't say why it crashed without that. If it locked your PC up completely, it sounds like it crashed in system code, a driver perhaps.

Steve,

Sorry about that. When I started the process to get things going again or to force a reboot, I guess that message about the bugreport.txt didn't register clearly in my brain. :oops:

I have attached the bugreport.txt file and I hope it tells you something.

It crashed in Windows code with an 'out of resources' error. It looks like Cumulus had just called the Davis DLL to read the latest data from the station. I would guess that there was a resource leak somewhere leading up to the crash; either in Cumulus or elsewhere on the system.

Steve,

I have increased my virtual memory to see if that helps. I can't increase my physical memory as it is maxed out at 4Gb. I have been considering getting a new PC, but they all come with Windows 8 (which I don't want!). Then there is the job of moving all my applications over to a new PC and hoping they all will work. But, it is under consideration anyway. Just a matter of where the $$$'s will come from. :cry:
