    PS4 crashes with GPU on

    lifeguardlloyd Community Member

      I seem to lock up with the video card set to GPU enabled and Esset nod32 with real time protection activated. Or one or the other. All other programs seems fine. NVIDIA® GeForce® GTS 250 - 1 gig of ram. It locks up when I go to open a file and I'm searching thru various folders. I have a AMD Athlon 6500+ duel core running at 3 gHz and 2 gigs of ram on the mother board. I have real time scanning disabled, GPU disabled on the video card and in PS4 - seems to work that way.

          Do you have the 11.0.1 Photoshop patch installed? how about the latest video card drivers? if you already have the latest ones then try installing some older drivers

            Latest and greatest drivers and updates - no luck. I seem to be at the point where I can run GPU on the card, but not in PS and the antivirus is disabled. Are the advance settings in PS of help? Is there a setting that may be causing me grief?

              Well, in Edit->Preferences->Performance->Advanced Settings you could try disabling Advanced Drawing and/or select Force Bilinear Interpolation but your video card should be able to run with those at the default so i doubt that it'll help you much.

                Might be a combination of circumstance - AMD vs. NVidia. Could even be something as deep as PCIe timing issues on the motherboard that prevent the card from initializing properly. Definitely check your BIOS and see if everything is okay there. Other than that running tools like Sandra, the SysMark benchmark or the OpenGL Extensions Viewer to do some deeper inspection of the problem...

                  To me it looks like your system is starving for RAM too slowing things down by accessing virtual memory on the hard drive. That 1 gig Video card uses up the first 1 gig of address space. This leaves only 1 gig of RAM to run the OS, hardware and software.

                   

                  I don't understand having the GPU disabled on the card? How does the card work?

                   

                  Turning off opengl in Photoshop I do understand.

                    The video card has its own ram of 1 gig. The mother board has 2 gigs. The video card does not share ram with the motherboard. GPU can be turned on and off on the card in a software interface.
