Windows 10: Anyone else having problems with SSMS crashing when saving files to a Google Drive File...

I would suggest you open a new instance of SSMS for this...

1. Open SSMS
2. Open a saved .SQL file saved to your Google Drive via g:\
3. Do a query (can be as simple as you like).
4. Make a small change to the file (add and remove a space).
5. Press Save button or Ctrl+S and watch SSMS crash and restart.

I've had it do that in all of SQL2016, v17 and v19/next...


There's also a couple of Event Log entries too:

Saves log files ?

You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

Download CCcleaner from here...........

CCleaner Professional | Try the world’s most trusted PC cleaner, free!

You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.

 

BIOS Save to file crashes

Do you mean a crash OR freeze? I get the same issues, but not crashing - I get a total freeze of the PC, requiring a hard reset. Using GIGABYTE GTX 670 GeForce card here, on Windows 8.1 Pro OS.

Yes, what is your Windows OS version - 7, 8.0, 8.1, 10 Preview?
And what antivirus software do you use?
Also, try saving your BIOS via NVFlash instead of GPU-Z - does that work or crash?
You can download NVFlash here:
NVIDIA NVFlash

It runs from a Windows Command Prompt. To save your GPU's BIOS, enter the command:
nvflash --save 660.rom
(where you can change 660 to any other file name you wish)

Make sure to do this once only. Doing it a second time, please specify another file name, or else NVFlash will try to flash your BIOS instead of reading it only.

 

BIOS Save to file crashes

Tried save to file on multiple versions of GPU-Z 7.7 all the way up to 8.1. Some crash faster than others, sometimes I get the strange neon colored flashing glitching desktop. GPUs below.
