Blue screen crash in Windows

Post by vencels »

Hi,

Have you ever encountered a Blue screen (crash) in Windows while running Elmer in parallel?

I suspect MPI causes this because it is the only software with admin rights.

Also, if you know how to debug such cases, let everyone know.

Thanks!

Hi,

If you have an example case that has crashed, I could try running it in Windows 10.

Thanks, Rich.

Thanks, Rich, for offering help.
The case is large, and the issue happens only on one computer out of many. So chances are low that you will reproduce it.

These are a few ideas that we already tested:
- Not enough PSU power
- Version of Elmer

More tests to do:
- BIOS update
- Changing CPU on the same system

If you encounter a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) while running Elmer in parallel on Windows, it's worth considering the role of MPI, as it has admin rights. To debug such cases, update your system, check hardware, monitor system temperature, analyze crash logs, and seek expert assistance if needed.
