Computer crashes on videoIn

[john]

Hi,

I just set up a new laptop and installed vvvv and all dependencies.
Created a simple patch:
VideoIn(DShow9) -> VideoTexture(EX9.Texture VMR9) -> Quad(DX9) -> Renderer(EX9)

As soon as i make the final link in that chain anywhere, my computer freezes momentarily then crashes without warning and restarts windows completely (SCARY !)

Can someone give me some guidance on how to debug the issue

Thanks

Laptop Specs
CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K Processor
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5
32GB DDR4 2400MHZ
Laptop Camera: Chicony USB 2.0 Camera

hei john,

i’m afraid my best guess this is caused by the driver of the usb-camera. do you have a chance to update it or try a different camera?

Hi Joreg,

Thanks for your advice.
I suspect you are right.
Using an external USB camera is working.
So i am seeking a driver update for the internal camera.

Using the internal camera doesn’t interest me so much, but until i find a working driver, i have to be SOOOO careful not to crash my computer when working with VideoIn as the internal camera is the default camera on the VideoIn node

I’ll note back here if i find a working driver or not.

Cheers,
John

I was using x64 version of vvvv when the crash occured

using x86 version the internal camera is working fine now
