After installation of release 1.8.8-1 script batch prepocessing crash

[Juan Conejero]

Hi Dale,

I was also having problems with WBPP using the latest versions of PI, WBPP and the graphics adapter driver. My graphics adapter is an Intel HD 4600. Yesterday I installed a new GTX 1650 graphics card, disabled the integrated adapter via the BIOS settings and reran WBPP twice with no problems. I am convinced the Intel HD graphics drivers are to blame for this situation.

Thank you for posting this information. It is very helpful and reiterates what we have already been experiencing during years.

We have seen also a few problems on Windows with NVIDIA cards, but all of them have been fixed by simply updating drivers to their latest versions.

Hi Juan
I have the same problems with a GEFORCE RTX 2080. I have inbstalled today the latest driver.
In the last 12 month PI runs always without problems with version 1.8.6. Now with the latest version 1.8.8.-2 I have the same errors with BPP and WBPP.
In my posting 3 days ago I have described the rig and the procedures.
Thanks for any help

Hi Dale,
thank you for your contribution, as well as I thank Juan for patience and Alphascorpi which I hope with my contribution to help.
I apologize for not having responded immediately, but it has been a rather busy period of work and only yesterday I managed to devote myself to the problem.
Reading your post Dale I went to a lab yesterday and installed the GTX 1650 graphics card. Unfortunately the result has not changed. PI crashes. Then we tried with 2 other graphics cards ... but nothing to do, PI crashes.
The lab technician tells me that he thinks it's not a graphics card problem, but it's more likely a problem related to hard disk performance.
He proposes to change the disk to go on ssd technology, unfortunately not now, I have no time, I agree with him but I refer to the operation in January.
I come home very sad, I haven't solved the problem and I still don't know if the proposed solution will solve it.
thinks he thinks about it ... in xp I remember you were going to touch the paging file to help the system.
I look for and find the parameter set to automatic management with the size set exactly equal to the size of the ram. 16 GB. 32gb septum manual management just to try and

..... magic .... problem solved !!!

ED (alphascorpi) I hope my contribution can help you.

A greeting to all and the wish for peaceful holidays

Hi Marzio,

I am very happy to know that. Yes, computers can be magical sometimes. The change to SDD is a very good recommendation. Happy Holidays!

One thing to underscore here: I'm not sure if your motherboard supports this, but I had to turn off the integrated graphics. Even after installing the GTX1650, PI crashed until I changed this setting. Now it works like a champ. Also, my primary drive (Windows) is SSD, but my working drives are not.

Hope this helps!
