Communigate Pro AE-List@media-motion.tv Message 53595

So, strange outcome on this. Turns out, I'm 90% positive that this full crash to restart on rendering was a problem with AE preferences. I was having no problems rendering in the new windows user profile on the same machine until I imported the old preferences from the "problem" user profile. Went to render, and again it crashed immediately, blue screen of death, reboot, everything. I thought I was having crazy hardware problems. Then I took the original clean prefs from the new user, imported them back into the problem user profile, and now it's fixed. This may have been a result of inheriting prefs from 12.0 to 12.1 to 12.2. So I'd be careful about doing that in the future. will submit a BR

no this was a BSOD on windows 7, so it wouldn't have had time. it sucks but shit happens. my own fault. It's a recurring problem I've nailed down to either a driver conflict error or something in AE that doesn't like some piece of hardware or running service.

- The BSOD says "BAD POOL HEADER" - probably from some software trying to address the same piece of memory address space twice

- I don't get any crash logs

- it only happens when trying to render in AE. I thought it was the overclock or a RAM issue but prime95 running at full load for 8 hours seems to have proved otherwise

- When I reinstalled AE CC it worked fine again for a while, then it just started again

- I created a new windows user profile and so far rendering seems fine in the new profile, but I will have to reconfigure a lot of stuff

- gonna run chkdsk and memtest86 overnight to make sure there's no hardware issues

- backed up all critical drives anyway

Any other bright ideas welcome. for now I'm working on my backup machine

i dont believe it autosaves until you save... save early and often :)

but if you crashed you may find a crash file.

on osx sometimes they appear in your docs folder called After Effects Crash_1.aep, After Effects Crash_2.aep, etc

Just lost about 30 minutes of work on a project I had just started but hadn't saved yet. Would there be an autosaved copy in a temp folder somewhere, or does it not autosave until you've chosen a project folder and saved at least once?
