CanSpoilU
Ok... my laptop has been running great for a good 45 days until yesterday and today. All of a sudden with VDJ open the screen on my laptop (and the TV Out) would freeze and would start flickering. About 20 seconds later the machine would just reboot on it's own.
The last time this happened I got nv4_disp errors and it generated a minidump. Can somebody take a look at this dump? I have rev5 running currently and am on an HP laptop with an Nvidia Quadro 1500M video card with 512mb of dedicated memory.
I don't understand how my laptop can work flawlessly for so long and then all of a sudden this happens twice in the past two days. I work with computers for a living and I know nothing has changed on this laptop recently to cause this.
Thanks in advance.

*******************************************************************************
THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (ea)
The device driver is spinning in an infinite loop, most likely waiting for
hardware to become idle. This usually indicates problem with the hardware
itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly.
If the kernel debugger is connected and running when watchdog detects a
timeout condition then DbgBreakPoint() will be called instead of KeBugCheckEx()
and detailed message including bugcheck arguments will be printed to the
debugger. This way we can identify an offending thread, set breakpoints in it,
and hit go to return to the spinning code to debug it further. Because
KeBugCheckEx() is not called the .bugcheck directive will not return bugcheck
information in this case. The arguments are already printed out to the kernel
debugger. You can also retrieve them from a global variable via
"dd watchdog!g_WdBugCheckData l5" (use dq on NT64).
On MP machines (OS builds <= 3790) it is possible to hit a timeout when the spinning thread is
interrupted by hardware interrupt and ISR or DPC routine is running at the time
of the bugcheck (this is because the timeout's work item can be delivered and
handled on the second CPU and the same time). If this is the case you will have
to look deeper at the offending thread's stack (e.g. using dds) to determine
spinning code which caused the timeout to occur.
Arguments:
Arg1: 89169020, Pointer to a stuck thread object. Do .thread then kb on it to find
the hung location.
Arg2: 89235410, Pointer to a DEFERRED_WATCHDOG object.
Arg3: 892754b0, Pointer to offending driver name.
Arg4: 00000001, Number of times this error occurred. If a debugger is attached,
this error is not always fatal -- see DESCRIPTION below. On the
blue screen, this will always equal 1.

Mini Kernel Dump does not contain unloaded driver list
Closing open log file c:\1222log.txt
The last time this happened I got nv4_disp errors and it generated a minidump. Can somebody take a look at this dump? I have rev5 running currently and am on an HP laptop with an Nvidia Quadro 1500M video card with 512mb of dedicated memory.
I don't understand how my laptop can work flawlessly for so long and then all of a sudden this happens twice in the past two days. I work with computers for a living and I know nothing has changed on this laptop recently to cause this.
Thanks in advance.

*******************************************************************************
THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (ea)
The device driver is spinning in an infinite loop, most likely waiting for
hardware to become idle. This usually indicates problem with the hardware
itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly.
If the kernel debugger is connected and running when watchdog detects a
timeout condition then DbgBreakPoint() will be called instead of KeBugCheckEx()
and detailed message including bugcheck arguments will be printed to the
debugger. This way we can identify an offending thread, set breakpoints in it,
and hit go to return to the spinning code to debug it further. Because
KeBugCheckEx() is not called the .bugcheck directive will not return bugcheck
information in this case. The arguments are already printed out to the kernel
debugger. You can also retrieve them from a global variable via
"dd watchdog!g_WdBugCheckData l5" (use dq on NT64).
On MP machines (OS builds <= 3790) it is possible to hit a timeout when the spinning thread is
interrupted by hardware interrupt and ISR or DPC routine is running at the time
of the bugcheck (this is because the timeout's work item can be delivered and
handled on the second CPU and the same time). If this is the case you will have
to look deeper at the offending thread's stack (e.g. using dds) to determine
spinning code which caused the timeout to occur.
Arguments:
Arg1: 89169020, Pointer to a stuck thread object. Do .thread then kb on it to find
the hung location.
Arg2: 89235410, Pointer to a DEFERRED_WATCHDOG object.
Arg3: 892754b0, Pointer to offending driver name.
Arg4: 00000001, Number of times this error occurred. If a debugger is attached,
this error is not always fatal -- see DESCRIPTION below. On the
blue screen, this will always equal 1.

Did u upgrade your drivers recently??
Do a search for Driver Cleaner Pro (free) use that to completely clean out your system after uninstalling in Safe Mode, Re download the current drivers and re-install. From what I keep reading it is either a graphics driver issue or an OS issue

Thanks. I will check out these links.
After it happened the second time today during my gig... I switched to DVDs and I updated the drivers. I uninstalled the current NVIDIA driver and I installed the latest drive on HP's site (an October 2007 driver which is more recent than my former December 2006 driver).
I also decided to go to revision 6 of VDJ.
Let's see what happens. If it happens again, I will format (which is something I normally do every 2-3 months with this laptop just to keep the OS fresh).

When was the last time they updated DirectX? Isn't 9c the latest?

Ok ill have to check that out then. So far so good with the new drivers and rev6. It may lock up again in a matter of hours. Or it may not lock up again for weeks.
It's very strange. I'll go through periods where this software is rock solid. Then it will run like complete ass until I format. There is no middle ground.

When u do a format do you do a quick format or the one that seems like it takes a lifetime?? What I would do if I were you is if you are considering upgrading to Vista is do a dual boot that way if it doesnt work out the way you like it then u still have ur ole XP:) Happy Holidays

I already have a dual boot system because I cannot carry a separate laptop just for DJing. I need to use my laptop for my regular full-time job as well.
I use Vista full time for my job. If I can get Vista to work with VDJ... I will still dual-boot it... but i'll just have to separate instances of Vista on the laptop (one on my C: drive and one on my D: drive).
I am getting my hands on a slightly better laptop in a week or two that i'll have for a couple weeks. I am going to just load Vista on that and VDJ and take that laptop with me to gigs (along with my current dual boot XP one for backup) and see how Vista runs. If I can get it to run stable... i'll keep Vista for VDJ.

Crap... the same f'in thing just happened to me working a rare Wednesday night gig. I haven't even been here for an hour yet and bamm... lockup.
I updated my NVIDIA drivers last time this happened and went to rev.6 and the issue remains.
Ugh. Might have to get that Vista install rolling sooner than I had expected. Not sure what else to do since it seems like many people are having the same issue (mainly people that play games for instance - I don't think its VDJ related).

Ok... this crap happened to me AGAIN today. And I know it can't be VDJs fault.
I booted up my laptop... loaded VDJ. Played one video to make sure it was working. But I didn't actually start playing live because I was waiting for the football game to end.
So I start browsing the web (with VDJ open in the background) and 30 minutes into it... flickering screen and a lockup and reboot. WTF?
I heard this is a huge NVIDIA problem plaguing a lot of people with Windows XP.
Would you guys think I am crazy if I take another HD I have and load Vista on it and try to run VDJ with Vista for the first time on New Year's Eve?
What's the worst that can happen? It runs like ass? I will bring my original hard drive and if its so unstable and unuseable I can swap the HD on the laptop in about 10 minutes and go back to my original setup. I can run with DVDs while my laptop is being fixed.
These lockups are freakin' horrible because they are unexpected. I suppose I can install Vista on Sunday and run VDJ overnight on Sunday night and give it a good 10 hour burn-in. I can also hook the video up to my 52" LCD at home to make sure the video quality looks good.
ugh.
