Intels Dual-Core technology causes Blue-Screen in LabVIEW 7.1 on Windows XP SP2

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
 
last month we've bought a new Notebook with Intel's Dual-Core technology. After installation of LabVIEW 7.1 the system sometimes quit with a blue-screen. The former notebook didn't have this problem.
 
Is there a fix-pack or service-pack that correct this problem?
 
Yours

Hi DocDOS!

Where is an LabVIEW 7.1.1 update at http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/webcategories/86256C220055D6BC86256EAE002C310A?opendocument&node=132070_US.

I don't know if it solves your problem.

Regards

I have an Intel Centrino Duo T2300 in my notebook and have been running 8.0, 8.0.1 on it without a hitch.  Not sure if it's a 7.1 glitch or not, but I have never had that problem.

I haven't seen a blue screen since Windows 95!

A blue screen usually implies a driver issue. The blue screen should have given a code at the bottom, and that will usually help to pinpoint the problem. With LabVIEW the first think I'd update is the video card driver, as LabVIEW is notorious for having graphics problems. It is a graphical programming language, after all. Note that even if the labtop is "new" it doesn't mean it has the latest set of drivers.

Does it blue-screen only when running LabVIEW or does it do that randomly, but it never happened before you installed LabVIEW?

What is the exact message on the blue screen?

I'm not sure, but I think it was an INTERNAL_KERNEL_STACK_ERROR. I will try an Update to LabVIEW 7.1.1 as written above. The graphics-drivers are the latest I've found (may be DELL needs a fix-up in their drivers library :-p)
 
This error only appears, when the user uses the LabVIEW-application. Other applications running on this machine are working fine.

DocDOS,

Did you resolve your issue ... I am experiencing similar problem with the dual core system.  When I use only one processor the BSOD does not occur.

No, I haven't... but on another DualCore-Machine (original Intel-Mainboard with Core2Duo-CPU) it works very fine.. So I think it was really a problem on DELL-crates.. 🙂
May be a BIOS-Update could fix this issue..

... I don't think, that running 1 Core on a Dual-Core-CPU makes any sense 🙂

DocDOS,

I agree, I don't think it makes any sense either, but disabling the dual core has solved the problem - No more BSOD.

In fact, I had a service request in at NI and finally I have received an email that reads:

"I have been in contact with R&D and this type of crash is a known issue.
Their recommended work around is to disable the dual core just as you have
already done."

So, I guess it's starting to make sense ... maybe?

Regards.
