Guys, I’m seeing crashes far too often. I’m running BIAB 2024 (1114) on Windows 11 on a Lenovo laptop with plenty of excess disk space and tons of memory. Same laptop for the last four years, but in the last few weeks I’m getting a couple of black-screen auto reboots per day. Always happens in a re-generate. I’ve been using BIAB a lot lately as I’m retired from Engineering and recently “promoted” to bass player in a band, so I’m spending lots of time using BIAB as my back-up band for practice. I let W11 update at the mercy of the Microsoft gods, so likely the latest version.

Maybe it’s something else in my system, but I’ve been using BIAB for many years. I’m that guy who uses it live in solo restaurant gigs, and It’s always been very trustworthy.

The songs are pretty much standard lengths, so I don’t think I’m triggering the “255 bar limit issue”. Unless maybe … (and this just now occurred to me) after multiple stops and starts on the same song file, and sometimes even looping over a section I’m working on, maybe some buffer related to that 255 problem is overflowing? Now that I think (and write) about it, I’ve recently been using BIAB in a different work-mode than before, and that’s when the crashes began.

Also, something possibly related is I’m running the Audiophile version off the drive supplied by PG, so the crashes probably happen as the program starts hitting that disk hard.
