Just reporting that I just had my first full Windows crash and reboot (no blue screen even!) using APP for as long as I can remember.
I was doing a quick integration and HaRGB combination and had saved the raw combined FITS - then I went to save the stretched version as well (something I normally do) and the system froze before rebooting - no file save window appeared and not even a blue screen so no message or dump file. I checked to see if there was a new version and updated just prior to doing the sub calibration/combination
I was doing some data analysis for work earlier so APP wasn't the only program open but this workstation isn't short of system resources. I didn't touch the 47 out of 48 threads - I'll drop that back a bit in case it caused Windows to choke. I have to get back to some work so I can't repeat the process for the moment but will take another look later.
These are the workstation specs. Windows 10 (build 19044), Threadripper 3960X, 128GB RAM (not ECC), Quadro GV100 GPU
Best regards
Pam
Thanks for sharing, this does sound like a system issue possibly, which can happen sometimes. What version of APP are you using right now?
the latest beta release. It’s just a little odd as it’s a long time since I had any system crash that bypassed the blue screen. Cosmic ray perhaps? 😂
Ha! Well you never know. 🙂 If it happens more often, please post here and we can maybe have a closer look.
