pythonw.exe crash when starting spyder

[Drekko]

Hey guys After I install Anaconda3-2.4.1 and start Spyder I get the following error on a windows 7 x64 machine:

Problem signature: Problem Event Name: BEX64 Application Name: pythonw.exe Application Version: 3.5.1150.1013 Application Timestamp: 5665f371 Fault Module Name: qsvgicon4.dll_unloaded Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 565557f0 Exception Offset: 000007fefb041480 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Data: 0000000000000008 OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.4 Locale ID: 3081 Additional Information 1: cc5b Additional Information 2: cc5b935155df9eb10f2a8173f1ef6331 Additional Information 3: 0e39 Additional Information 4: 0e3904d31c3d007f6cd143c5359cba4f

Has anyone come across this error with the Spyder application and resolved it?

Could you start Spyder from a terminal (i.e. cmd.exe) like this

spyder --show-console

and see it there's any error reported there?

Hi Thanks for your reply. I will intstall it again and let you know I also found a crash dump file if its any use for you:

Thanks, dump files are not really useful in this case :-)

Forgive me ccordoba12 but I have not used this software before I am only trying to deploy it out, so my knowledge is limited

The spyder application points to pythonw.exe and when i start pythonw.exe it crashes without any error messages after the initial error message i posted above What switches exactly do I need to put in to show the console?

[Drekko]

I just installed it again with allusers option the first launch of spyder crashes with what i described above, then it launches ok after the first initial crash This is still a problem though because I am trying to deploy it out to many computers can you be more specific about launching spyder with show console option for windows please

I had installed Anaconda and using Jupyter Notebook. The problem is that in the Task Manager the Pythonw.exe process keeps on increasing. I have 8 GB RAM and after 10-15 minutes the memory becomes full. Could you please help me how to control the high memory usage?

[ccordoba12]

It depends on what you're doing in the notebook. Are you loading big files in there?

[guptas08]

Thanks for the reply. No. I just open Anaconda and then Jupyter notebook and sit idle. The pythonw.exe keeps on increasing in the task bar and after 10-15 mins the memory becomes full.

When I start running this program I get the following crash on windows 7: Problem Event Name: BEX64 Application Name: pythonw.exe Application Version: 3.5.2150.1013 Application Timestamp: 577be341 Fault Module Name: StackHash_1dc2

All other programs in python are running successfully. Anyone who met with this problem. Please help in the solution. Thanks

Run spyder as administrator can solve the problem.

I am facing the same problem with the latest 5.2 version of Anaconda.
