Blue Screen of Death on Win 2003
Last modified: 2008-08-18 10:53:41 UTC
I have installed version 5.4.0 on my Windows Server 2003 but when I try to connect to the Squeezebox or try to connect to the server to play my AAC files, from the SqueezeBox I get a blue screen of death!! Some kind of non-paged memory fault. The machine then reboots. I already have it running successfully on an XP machine with exactly the same settings and its fine. It just doesn't like my Windows 2003 server. Please help!!! It happens immediately EVERY time I try to interface with the Squeeze box.
Have you tried 5.4.1 nightly builds at all? http://www.slimdevices.com/downloads/nightly/latest/5.4.1/
I have tried 5.4.1 and its doing exctly the same thing. What am I to do. My server is meant to be streaming my music and I can't even use it. Is there any other server softwware that sorks with a sqeezebox I can try instead?? I'm at the end of my teather on this. Is there any checking/debugging I can try to help fix it?
Hvae you contacted support@slimdevices.com about this? BSOD is most often a video driver problem. It could be a conflict with the slimserver in some way. Have you tried latest drivers for your video card as well?
I am using the latest drivers. Its an ATi RAGE XL onboard video. It does seem to give a video related error when it blue screens. As I'm using the latest driver, what can I do now?
I booted the machine again yesterday and it saud there was a problem with mov123.exe. I have seen other posts about mov123.exe and windows 2003 crashing. Could it be that? Its definately not a hardware driver as it only happens when i try to play a file. Is mov123.exe only used when playing .mp4a files? If so I can test it by removing all the mp4a files and leave only a few mp3's and see if it still crashes.
Have you tried the 6.0a alpha with any better results? Some users have reported that they have had success on other problems witn mov123.exe by using the mov123.exe from an older version of slimserver. 5.3 perhaps. This may be related to bug415 and bug780. in the case of 780, the suggestion is to install the very latest version of quicktime (that might be the video connection). bug415 is also with win2003 and suggested removing quicktime 6.5.2.
Suggest we roll back to older version of mov123.exe.
Bumping back a version will lose a couple of more recent fixes. However, Windows 2003 have to option of downloading the older version from: https://svn.slimdevices.com/*checkout*/trunk/server/Bin/MSWin32-x86-multi-thread/mov123.exe?rev=869 and putting the downloaded version of mov123.exe in the server/Bin/MSWin32-x86-multi-thread subdirectory of their SlimServer installation. I'd also be curious to know if anyone has had any luck with a later version of Quicktime for Windows.
