Massive crash

[Viper3901]

Not sure why but after following the directions to the T nUI when running along in WOW causes my entire system to crash and do an emergency shutdown. So i go rid of nUI but now when i run my old Interface i have 3 Skada windows open, 2 labeled nUI Skada 1 and nUI Skada 2. Tried deleting the old skada files and redoing it but still end up with 3 windows. WTF...

need to clear out skada entries in WTF. That is where config is held.

If you go into the options for skada it should let you delete the extra windows.

The question is why it is making your computer crash. What type of system are you using ? Maybe using nUI just pushes you over the edge of unplayability.

Its most defiantly not my system, i normally run fraps, WoW, vent, have Pandora up and going and run at about 10% system capacity. The times I’ve had nUI crash my computer was once changing the UI scale and once using the random dungeon finder. Got rid of nUI and everything other then the Skada issues has gone away.

As for that, before i ran nUI i changed the WTF and Interface folders and added .saved so i could easily switch back.

i run a Alienware area 51 x58
i7-920 2.66Ghz
and Vista ultimate
dual nvidia gts 250

I don't believe nUI is directly responsible for your system crash. Period. There are over a half million nUI downloads and if it was causing people's systems to crash the volume of screaming would be deafening.

That said, it would appear nUI is a catalyst in your problem, but I assure you the problem exists with or without nUI. If I had to fathom a guess, I would say its an issue related to memory management as nUI5 does aggressively use memory.

The system wouldn't go into emergency shutdown for a memory error; that only happens when the CPU is overheated.

If there was a memory error, the system would just freeze up


I'd check the cpu cooler for dust bunnies and such (nUI has some elements that increase cpu useage like the unit frames and so on).
