markjardine Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I have been able to run Max 2015 and 2017 fine, but every time I close them I get a BSOD. The memory dump says nvlddmkm.sys which I know is a GPU error. I updated the drivers to 372.54, that didn't solve it. It seemed to start happening around the time I installed FStorm or Forest Pack. I removed FStorm and that didn't change anything. I was hoping not to uninstall Forest Pack, but could that really be the problem? Any insight is appreciated. I'm going crazy!

Dimitris Tolios Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Do a clean uninstall of nVidia drivers and re-install them. If it doesn't work doing the clean uninstall through nVidia's own routine within their driver's package, try the Display Driver Uninstaller. Some time ago with Win XP, you needed to disable the Aero theme effects for it not to happen occasionally...only with nVidia GPUs, cause - as we all know - their drivers work so much better all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjardine Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Thanks Dimitris, Unfortunately DDU and re-install didn't solve the problem. Every time I get the error and start Max again I'm getting the UI "workspace_1__usersave__.mnux is invalid" error and it won't open unless I rename the UI folder. Have you ever heard of that?

markjardine Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 On the crazy off chance that someone runs into this problem again some day, I'll leave what I found here. I ordered a network license for Forest Pack Pro but just installed the license service on my computer because I was too impatient. I could open Max and use FPP fine, but when I closed Max it would try to release the license and I would get a BSOD. I have no idea how that makes sense. But I got the license server installed on the proper machine and everything works as intended. It's the only thing that changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo scapi Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Oh my god, i found this thread because I'm having the same problem. It also started to happen when instaled forest pack pro some days ago. But i ordered a stand-alone license of FPP so i don't know how to fix this. I have allready contacted itoo software and say it's the first time they know about this. I will point them to this page. Any help will be apreciated Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjardine Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Hi Pablo, I actually never got this figured out. I prematurely said it was solved because I thought it was, but I think it just wasn't happening to empty scenes. I've tried everything and I can't figure it out. I just turn off my computer without closing Max now. But now that I know it's not just me hopefully we can fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo scapi Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Oh! sorry to hear that. So you still have the problem? i did try to install the license server just in case but i still have the problem. Now i have unistalled FPP and everything is fine again. I can't belive this is caused by the plugin and there is no more info about it. Edited September 22, 2016 by octopus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjardine Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 It is crazy that a well designed plugin can cause something like this, but I agree that it has to be FPP. Now that I know someone else has this I think I can rule out faulty hardware, but have you run any GPU or memory tests? What hardware and software are you running?

markjardine Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Also, install v5.1.3 beta. I haven't tested it enough to know for sure, but it seems to be working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo scapi Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Hi, i came here to say you the same thing. Itoo support ask me to test the beta and it looks to be working fine for the moment. I don`t want to be too optimistic before more testing (i still hold my breath every time i close MAX) but hope is ok now. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help will be apreciated Thank you I'm getting BSOD's (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL) on Windows 10 after I close Max too (both 2015 and 2017), come to think of it I installed Forest Pack around the time they began. Gonna uninstall and test to see if they go away EDIT: tentatively, upgrading to the latest beta (Jan 29, 2017) seems to work. Have done some renders and closed Max and reopened and done other stuff on the PC and closed. No BSOD's so far Edited January 29, 2017 by Richard7666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjardine Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Were you still using FPP 5.1? Once I upgraded to 5.2 the problem went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
