Question

Lightroom 6 CRASHES and CAUSES PC BSOD While EXPORTING

Hi - i just need to point out that LR 6 has always crashed on me when exporting more than 100 images.

I just installed the latest version of lightroom last week and now the PC gets a Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD) and LR crashes when export more than 6 images.

I have turned off the GPU acceleration which has not fixed the issue.  I have tried many things and nothing seems to fix the issue.

When I use LR 5 the exporting works just fine.  This is very frustrating that I paid for LR 6 and have not been able to use it to the fullest.

I am not sure what else to try besides uninstalling the entire LR 6 and reinstalling just in case.

I am in Windows 10 PRO with all of the latest updates, All Samsung SSD, 32GB of RAM.

    Lightroom pushes your hardware harder than most programs. Your crashes are almost certainly caused by overheating. You'll need to clean the dust out of the heat sink on your cpu chip. And out of the rest of the interior of your computer.

    THanks for the reply -

    My PC is a custom PC which I built with top of the line components over 1.5 years ago.  Trust me that there is No Dust in there and there is no over heating since my i7 overclocked 4.6GHz is water cooled : )

    ..I clean all components on a monthly basis.

    UPDATE:
    I fully uninstalled LR6 and did a fresh install of LR6 along with each update and turned down my OVERCLOCK to 4.5Ghz instead of 4.6Ghz
    I was able to export over 10,000 images in full resolution without an issue.


    I'm glad to hear that resolved the issue. BTW- When doing a LR 6 reinstall it's only necessary to load the main 6.0 Installer and then the desired update (i.e. 6.9). Each update install file contains all of the previous updates.
