Question

LRc in Develop mode freezing whole PC every 30-60 min

Hello Lightroom folks,

I got a problem with my Lightroom. When im developing RAWs, every 30-60 minutes my whole windows freezes. At first, i can still move the mouse, but after a few seconds also this is not possible anymore. I can not go into Taskmanager or click anything, i have to brute force reset the PC.

I think it only happens once I applied masks to several images. But its not really reproducible. I had that freezing issues also with the last 2-3 Lightroom versions, so its not limited to the newest one.

I do not observe any overheating (CPU stays <70°C and GPU <60°C). I also do not observe these crashes while doing anything else than LR (gaming, surfing etc).

 

My hardware:

Windows 10

Ryzen R9 5900x (at 110W PPT)

64 GB DDR4-3600 RAM (Corsair Vengeance LPX 18-22-22-48, 2 x 32 GB kit)

RTX 3080 undervolted to 0,775 V

LR (13.5.1) running on one SSD (Kingstom A2000 2 Tb), while all images and the catalog is running on a seperate NVME SSD (Lexar NM790 4 TB).


My workflow is usually:

import cRAWs from Canon R7 (or sometimes raws from Panasonic Lumix T101) to the Lexar ssd --> apply some sharpening/masking --> AI denoise to different degrees (nearly every image gets denoised) --> basic adjustments --> masking

 

What i've already tried:

- Tried running the RAM without XMP mode, since I upgraded that RAM some months ago from a 32 Gb Kit and im not really sure if I had that problem before the upgrade

Im currently testing the GPU without undervolting.


What else can I do to fix that problem?

Thanks

Update:

Changing my 64 Gb RAM kit to the same one with 32 Gb seems to have fixed the issue.

Is LR not compatible with 64 Gb of RAM?

Of course LrC is compatible with 64GB RAM. What is probably happening is that you had a defective memory chip somewhere, causing crashes.

again that would suprise me, cause only LR was affected by crashes

Update:

- GPU Stock settings instead of  UV didnt help

- latest Nvidia Studio driver instead of game-ready driver didnt help

I don't know if there are other drivers in your computer, but you need to update those. Run deep diagnostics on all your hardware.

even if there were bad drivers, wouldnt that also affect other software? I only have problems with LR

So OC of the CPU?

 

LrC may or may not like that. You may need to experiment.

 

 

RTX 3080 undervolted to 0,775 V

 

 

 

Now that stands out as interesting. Not one to alter voltage in BIOS, in GPU settings, or via software. So take with a grain of salt.

 

How are you, and why are you undervolting that GPU. Searching on google leads me to think of MSI Afterburner etc. but a google search can lead to garbage.

 

In the past LrC has absolutely hated GPU OC. Especially third party apps (as opposed to in the GPU settings)

 

ahh, I missed:

Im currently testing the GPU without undervolting.

110W on the CPU is not OC its giving it less power. I can't imagine how that could induce crashes.

GPU on stock settings instead of undervolted also lead to crash 😞

PC crashing is almost always a bad driver somewhere, or a hardware malfunction. You need to install the latest drivers for your PC's hardware. For the Nvidia GPU, make sure you get the latest Studio driver. If the problem persists, then you need to run hardware diagnostic on all of your hardware, and also make sure the cooling system is working properly.
