I'm downloaded the rcommended driver from nVidia's web-site - 285.58 - then rebooted and downloaded and re-installed my SL viewer. it worked the first time I've logged in. After logging out and logging back in a few minutes later, I get the "Exception unknown software exception" error message again. I then stud down my Mozilla Firefox (as it takes up 100,000+ Ks of Memory Usage) and minimized my Internet Explorer. I then log back in using my other veiwer, Phoenix Firstorm v3.2.2 and it seems to load, although it freezes for a bit after the logging-in bar finishes and moves to the main view of SL and my avatar loading. If you try cliking on it, it only stays frozen for a few moments. If you leave it unclicked when you get to the main veiw and avatar loading, it stays frozen and you get a "Not Responding" on the program's window.
I then decided to run an experiment, and log back in, switching between viewers SL & Firestorm after staying loged out for a few minutes at a time, with FireFox & Skype closed, and iExplorer & windows explorer minimized.
It seems that I do eventually log back in after trying to re-log a couple times.
For example:
When I log into my Phoenix Firestorm v3.2.2 viewer and log out, I waited a few minutes. After that, I log back in. After the logging-in loading bar is done, and I get to my main view of SL and my Avatar loading, the viewer crashes and shuts down. But then, a few minutes later, I log back in and it seems to load all the way without any problems as long as I click on something when I get to my main view and avatar loading.
Do you guys think that maybe the crashes are happening because of my CPU?
Cause, I've noticed this:
Whenever I click on my viewer window, CPU usage goes up to 100%
When it not highlighted, CPU usage goes down:
CPU & Memory usage:
Firestorm: CPU: 78-86, MEM USAGE: 435,000+ K
SL Viewer: CPU: 80-89, MEM USAGE: 432,000+ K
Mozilla Firefox: CPU: 11-24, mem usage: 131,000-270,000+ K
I don't know what the problem is, as I didn't have this before my reformatted my C Drive. Either I forgot to added something to my PC in order for it to work right, or my CPU is starting to go, I don't really know.
But either way you look at it, I eventually am able to log back in after a few tries.
Also, can the sim you last log into, with a lot of prims also be a factor in crashing or log-in problems? Cause, I also realized it takes long to load, and more risk of freezing when I'm in a sim with al ot of prims, like the Star Trek Voyager sim I usually go to.
As I log back in with either viewer, I made sure I'm in a place with few prims, like a platform high above the land below, in order to avoid this. Again, I never had this problem before the reformat. Even with using my old 1.3.4 SL viewer (which still worked before the reformat I had).
Does anyone esle have ayn clues to why this is happening?
