Ok, thanx. In that case, I do not understand what is the issue we are dealing with. Because about the only thing I can think of that can lock up the box so bad is kernel mode drivers. Or, as is the very purpose of this thread, the scheduler under multi-core environments. Again, I am seeing this freeze only on a multi-core environment under the same conditions. Yes, the other drivers are not the same. But I just fail to see how even video driver may have anything to do with it, which is about the only relevant driver I can think of. -- Programmer's Goldmine collections: http://preciseinfo.org Tens of thousands of code examples and expert discussions on C++, MFC, VC, ATL, STL, templates, Java, Python, Javascript, organized by major topics of language, tools, methods, techniques.

Well, I noticed yesterday that there was some other guy with some issue. The thing is I started this thread and was under impression we are dealing with the issue I brought up. -- Programmer's Goldmine collections: http://preciseinfo.org Tens of thousands of code examples and expert discussions on C++, MFC, VC, ATL, STL, templates, Java, Python, Javascript, organized by major topics of language, tools, methods, techniques.

There is no crash that I see. It is a hang in some dead loop. That is why it is taking 100% of your CPU. I can not run this app under user level debugger. I have to run it under kernel mode debugger and waste all sorts of time to even see anything that will give me any hope this thing is going to go away.
