HA!!!!!!!What the Hal is going on!
On the problem PC, I had a stock cooler. When I took it into a PC repair shop, I let them sell me a radiator cooler (shoulda had one anyways), but the problems eventually persisted.Heat could still be an issue
Good question but I didn't move any drives from Blue Iris PC to work PC. Added to that, early on when I did clean Windows install, I installed OS on a different SSD to at least partially rule out HDD issues, and also updated the firmware on the one I switched to (kinda weird, required I boot with USB that had Intel firmware updater utility thingy)question about the HDD and if it was moved
Different hard drives, no video carried over but same reg file loaded up for settings (after loaded reg file I changed storage to accomidate new pc)So the "new" (older) PC is completely fresh from a software perspective and hardware perspective? You didn't move over the BI data drive from the defective system to it? Just to be sure.
Unfortunately I don't think that's a possible problem in my situation but thanks for the ideawhat cameras do you have?
i had one that would crash my pc weird i know but it took me forever to figure that out
Well both of the other systems were older and problem "well used" so it's not surprising they were BSODing if heat was the issue. I dont' remember if you said you measured CPU load and temps when I brought up checking that early on in the thread.... but if you are running 60-90% with just 6 cams at 5fps.... I imagine that the older systems were probably topping out and running hot stressing the CPU to the point of the BSOD.On my Blue Iris PC, I can't remember temps but at computer shop, the guy ran a stress test program and observed temps and thought it was okay (this was after we put a radiator CPU cooler on there). I left the shop for an hour while he stress tested and during that time no BSOD. Took it home and it ran for a few hrs but then shut down.
Funny development as of today. While Blue Iris PC is being repaired, wondered if I could free up my work PC from Blue Iris using a Surface Pro 3 (i5-4300U, 4 gigs of RAM). Plugged in a 2TB drive for all BI storage except for DB, turned off 2 of the 8 cams I use, reduced FPS to 5 or 6 to reduce data coming into BI (by logging into each individual camera, not just on BI). CPU hovers between 60-90%. Tablet in house connected to BI web page to display 2 important cams as usual. Occasionally check in via iOS app. Been running 3 hrs. Kinda surprised it's working.
