Windows 10: Repeated bluescreens, freezes, crashes when opening heavy files in apps such as Blender

Hi all, I've had several bluescreen errors and freezes when attempting to open certain blender files which opened fine previously. As well as in other instances when executing CPU heavy tasks. This seems to have started after i updated windows but i cant be certain. Error Codes:- driver power state failure- driver irql_less_or_not_equalMinidump files: https://1drv.ms/f/c/12b4772aca72aea4/EjuBDSai8rZCmYIOOAoCihsBn9dKL2ElQXswueu2fWZ8ag?e=FMs0WNLogsroblem Event Name: BlueScreenCode: 9fParameter 1: 3Parameter 2: ffff9f0f36fbc360Parameter 3: fffff60a3cf2f790Parameter

How can I open an .obj file in Blender

Hi Joshy

Setting File Associations in Windows 10 is currently a bit buggy

Right click an obj file, choose 'Open WIth' - Choose Another App

IMPORTANT - Check the box marked 'Always use this app to open objx . . .'

If Blender is not in the list, scroll to the bottom and click 'More Apps'

Again if Blender is not in the list, at the bottom, click 'Look for another app on this PC', then navigate to find the blender executable and choose that

That is located here:

C:/program files (x86)/blender foundation/blender/blender.exe

That's It, once that is done, you should be able to double click an obj file to open it in Blender . . .

 

Blender 2.63 Crashing

Hi all,

Dont know how many people still use blender, but im experiencing troubles on running blender.It crashes straight away and says "runtime error, this application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way."

I have looked on the blender forums, i have tried reinstalling mvc++ runtime files.
Nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions...?

 

BSOD Help (also crashes without BSODs and dump files)


Random reboots aren't the same as bluescreens, there are a few different crashes

1. Freeze crash, nothing responds anymore so it is impossible to create a dump because the functions can't be called and also nothing is actually triggering the function for a bluescreen for whatever reason,
2. Shutdown/restart crash, the system doesn't have the time for it,
3. Bluescreen crash, this is actually a real system crash, at least I wouldn't call a freeze and shutdown/restart a real system crash.

Only with bluescreens dumps are generated.
