[Qgis-user] Plugin Processing crashes QGIS and computer

[Sabine Vanhuysse]

Hi all,

 

I get back to this very old issue, as I found a fix and it could possibly be
useful to other users: updating the BIOS resolved all the problems I had
with the plugins.

 

Best wishes,

Sabine

If this gives any hint, I have the same issue with the Semi-Automatic
Classification plugin and with the Lecos plugin.

Thank you !

Sabine

Hi Phil,

Thanks for your speedy reply. I have checked what you suggested: my windows
installation is up to date and the memory diagnostic tool couldn’t find any
problem. I have also installed monitor drivers from the manufacturer, as I
had the windows defaults. Unfortunately, the issue was not fixed. 

I would be grateful for any other suggestion.

Cheers,

Sabine

Hi Sabine,

I would also try making sure that your windows installation is up to date,
memory is all OK and also check drivers for your monitors. I had a similar
error (WHEA) that bugged me for ages and it was fixed with new monitor
drivers from the manufacturer (not the windows defaults!)

Cheers - Phil

Subject: [Qgis-user] Plugin Processing crashes QGIS and computer

 

Hi all,

 

I have recently installed QGIS 3.10.4 LTR, as some of the new features would
be very useful to my work. Unfortunately, the Processing plugin which I use
quite a lot causes QGIS and my computer to crash nearly systematically.
After each fresh install - I uninstalled/installed QGIS a few times - and
the first crash, I get this message when I open QGIS again : « Plugin
processing : The plugin will be disabled because it crashed QGIS during last
startup. Please report an issue and re-enable the plugin when the problem
has been solved.” When I try to activate the plugin by ticking the box in
the ‘Manage and Install Plugins’ menu, my computer crashes again.

 

I have tried to install other standalone versions of QGIS, ie, 3.12.0-2 and
3.8.3-1, and the version that comes with the osgeo4w installer, and they all
cause the same problem. Only when I revert to my old 3.4.7 version does the
plugin function without any problem.

 

I have also tried to use a new user profile, and even to delete the QGIS
folder in the user/appdata/roaming folder, but this didn’t work.

 

I should add that the crashes are not totally systematic, as after one fresh
install, there was no crash when I opened QGIS without Grass functions for
the first time. However, the second time (QGIS with Grass functions), it
crashed again. The next times, it crashed be it with or without Grass
functions.

 

I am using Windows 10 Family edition and I have 2 monitors. When my computer
crashes, I get a blue screen with an error message that is not always the
same, but often it is a WHEA message. I have tried to unplug one of my
monitors before restarting the computer, but this did not solve the issue.

 

Of course, I can go on using QGIS 3.4.7, but it would be very helpful to
work with a more recent version, so I would very much appreciate your help
with this issue.

 

Thanks!

Best wishes,

Sabine
