Ableton Forum

So mid play often while doing anything random in Live an error will come up that says a sudden error has occurred please save your project under a different name, and close ableton, or something to that effect. Sometimes I will click ok and then Ill get a blue screen of death! MID PLAY! not good...
So I was wondering if anyone can deduce this to a program problem or OS problem.
I very much want to reformat.. maybe that will help.
I am running XP with Live 5 and Reason rewired into it.

You running a legitimate copy or a crack?

Hi,

It is unlikely that a software alone provokes a BSOD, but a software in correlation with a driver, yes. Look closely at the BSOD next time (at home I hope), it should tell you about which driver is causing it. Try reading what's writen fast and precisely!

Both Reason and Live are bought, and what in the poop is BSOD, I m about to reinstall XP, should I not?

Oh haha i get it... Blue Screen... Um so a driver.. that makes sense it said something about that the only driver I can think of that has anything to do with my music setup is the driver for my Ozonic which is also the interface I use for my setup, should I reinstall it?

Can you write down and post here the exact error that comes up when the computer BSODs? Many times that will give you the name of the driver in question...

Ok so I reinstalled XP so no BSOD's YET but I did get an error while playing in worship last night.
First there was a small error in Reason (which is rewired into Live) and I think it said exit error, or critical error, something real short. So I click ok. Then in Live the error comes up that says a serious error has occurred please save your project under a different name and close Live. And so I click ok, and the error keeps coming up over and over with about 3 seconds pause in between. So i eventually think to close Reason and the error stops! Perhaps is it some rewire problem? Or should I reinstall Reason (uh oh we're getting into another software!)

I have had similar problems. At first it was my audio card driver I thought because i also got the BSOD and it said the driver was an issue. I reinstalled os and got a new audiocard m-audio audiophile and that fixed the bsod. I rewire to reason hwoever and I still get the "serious program error" with Live. Sometimes it shuts down reason, sometimes it doesnt but I always have to reboot my cpu after this because both programs remain open and I cannot force the process's to quit. I think its got to be a rewire bug.

Wow this that is a bummer, I think i will write this delima to ableton themselves AND propellerheads. I hope someone on here knows something more to help me (and you)

hi,
have you tested the hardware, try goldmemory . You can get a demo version which is good for 30 days. The simplest method is to burn the .iso to a disk and boot from that disk. It will check your memory for errors.

just this week I suffered some bad memory - it completly crippled my bootsector as it writes bits to the wrong sector on the disk. this triggers multiple bluescreens and checkdisk activity as the operating system is gradually corrupted.

Burn what iso? I am very sure it is a problem between Live and Reason being that once I killed reason I had no more reoccuring errors. What makes me mad is that when I was into illegal softwares I didnt get this much errors, and now that I buy it legitly it keeps barfing on me.

I seemed to have fixed the problem so far. It seems that IK multimedia Miroslav Philharmonic seems to be the culprit for the random crashes. I removed this plugin and the problem seems to have disappeared. Oh and i turned off the multicore rewire support.

Yea I found another vst while setting up for worship tonight ( play in the youth worship band) - it was, I think - Godkiller haha what a funny coincidence! And I did not have the error tonight! Praise God!
Man that is funny...
