[quote="leo"][quote="Chevalier"]I decided to terminate the thread but Directory Opus did not continue and the BSOD did not occur.
Is this still a driver issue or is it something else?[/quote]
If you have BSOD errors even sometimes then I would investigate and solve those first before spending any time on applications (Opus or any other), as an unstable driver can cause applications to fail even if it doesn't always go wrong enough to cause the whole system to BSOD.
If the BSOD really was a one-off then I'd suggest following the steps in these FAQs to try and narrow down what is causing the software crashes (assuming it isn't a driver, anti-virus bug, etc.):
[ul][li]Crash, exit or high CPU usage when viewing certain directories[/li]
[li]Crash, exit or high CPU usage when right-clicking certain files (only if right-clicking appears to trigger the problem)[/li]
[li]Crash dumps for bug reports[/li]
[li]General slowdown or instability investigation steps[/li][/ul][/quote]
I have now thoroughly investigated each of the four references that you provided and can report that I have:-
- Confirmed that I have the latest bios for my new ASUS P8P67 Deluxe motherboard.
- Checked each of my hard drives with chckdisk and with SpinRite and found no problems.
- Checked my Intel i7 2600K processor & confirm that it is running without O/C & the temperature is never above 40 C and use rarely exceeds 35%.
- I have run MS Windows memory diagnostic tool & found no problems with my Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX8GX3M2A1600C9).
- No issues with instability or with closing down or starting up my PC. My PC is very quick indeed so slowing down is not an issue.
- Established that the only time I get a BSOD is when I use Directory Opus 10 in synchronization mode.
- Checked ALL of the drivers on my PC and they are all the latest available.
- My Crash Dump file confirms that the problem is NOT a hardware issue. It is a software issue but I cannot determine which software is causing the problem.
Consequently, I will continue to use Directory Opus 10 in synchronization mode to discover whether an examination of the BSOD information mentions any drivers, dll's etc that I can investigate.
Many thanks for your assistance. I will report back with anything that I discover.
