BSOD irql_not_less_or_equal when rendering over long periods #376

Closed tahmeednabi closed 3 years ago

Symptom

When trying to use Video2x over periods longer than 2 hours, I get a blue screen of death with the error message "irql_not_less_or_equal". I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered this issue. I'm running on a GTX 2070, zen 2700x 16GB RAM with all my drivers updated.

Error Log or Screenshots

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a) An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually caused by drivers using improper addresses. If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace. Arguments: Arg1: ffff8000000003a0, memory referenced Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL Arg3: 0000000000000001, bitfield : bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status) Arg4: fffff8000ce49f82, address which referenced memory

I'm not sure what's causing this exactly. I've seen IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL in all kinds of situations, including but not limited to faulty/incompatible RAM, memory starvation, malfunctioning drivers.

Video2X doesn't deal with these lower level stuff theoretically as a superglue written in Python. I think it's more likely that the issue lies within your hardware setup and/or your resource usage.

Is memory starvation likely with 16GB RAM?

k4yt3x commented 3 years ago

16GB RAM should be fine, usually GPU VRAM is more important. RTX 2070 should have 8GB of VRAM, which should be fine. I think it's more likely a driver issue or an API issue. I would suggest the following actions:

I know that project. It actually uses some of Video2X's code. I'm not sure it's an easy task to pull that project apart and stuff it into V2X'a framework, and I don't, currently, have the luxury of time to work on it either.

So my answer is, I'm not sure if nor when it will happen.
