TouchDesigner crashes when "Open as Seperate Window" to a second monitor (bloatware)

I had the same problem with my MSI laptop 3 years ago. Suppressing mainly Nahimic softwares but also daemons solved the problem.

Just here to add that uninstalling armory crate solved the issue on a rog build

Hello, Im running into these crashes while trying to close an extra pane. I dont have any bloatware on my Razerblade 15". I just read through this post and seems my crash is related to this topic… My Drivers are up to date. Im running an i9, with 32 gb ram and a mobile 3080 card. Its most commonly occuring in perform mode when i run a scipt to open a network pane and then i try to close it. However i dont even hve a second monitor hooked up… if there are any tips you can recommend further, i would greatly appreciate it. thanks!

Edit: Im crashing all over the place. When i try to lay down a node. When i try to link a CHOP into a CHOP execture DAT… when i close an external pane… Is this a driver issue? im on 516.59… does anyone have a known working Nvidia GPU driver on for TD build 2022.25370?

I’ve been messing with 2022.25370 on my Asus laptop with an external 3080 GPU and running Nvidia 516.59 with no issues - and I even still unfortunately have to keep Auroumuouruy Crate installed since I need it to connect / disconnect the external GPU.

You might need to re-install the NVidia drivers with “clean install” checked… possibly also TouchDesigner… possibly also Windows :frowning:

Does this happen when you open a clean / empty TD file and try it? Regardless if stuff is crashing that much, it sounds like something is corrupted (toe file, TD itself, GPU driver, Windows) or even worse could be defective / dying hardware since some GPU problems won’t surface until the GPU is running under heavy load (heat / thermal expansion or just usage of more GPU memory / processing)

Probably not an inherent TD / 516.59 incompatibility issue since MANY more people would be posting issues if that were the case…

Hey @stev_fun

What kind of crash do you get ? Does it give you a specific message ?

Do you get a .dmp file ?

Thanks,
Michel

@stev_fun Another user reported instability after updating to 516.59, I wonder if your system is behaving similar. They rolled back to Nvidia 512.95.
