Indicates to me that you're running out of graphics resources. Why not add a GPU, for example GTX 1050 Ti ? Any GPU will do.

Is there a way to know what the use of graphics resources is? Would it help to stop using the IF spectrum display?

True I could add a GPU but I guess I'd need two for twin screens.

Many, many GPUs support two or more displays.

I have a GTX 750 on my office computer (uses every three months for filing tax information), drives a pair or Eizo LCD which cost a fortune ~15 years ago!

This has "crashed" again in that the display froze but the app was still running. However, I now have more info.

SDRC had been running for some time and the display froze when I switched on the power of the external radio. The radio is connected to the PC via a cat cable but was "off" in SDRC at the time. The log is attached together with screenshot and I also have a dmp file if required.

Last few lines of log:

Also, it left something in an odd state. I closed SDRC and restarted it and the radio failoed to start, the log showed:

11:31:43.120: Radio SDRplayV3: Connect> Opening API
11:31:43.120: Radio SDRplayV3: Connect> Error sdrplay_api_Fail
11:31:43.120: Select Radio> Status .....: Failed

I then closed SDRC and opened SDRuno which found the RSP1A. I then went back to SDRC and all then started normally.

Hope this helps.

This is the clue - USB power. You maybe heard the bingly-beep sound.
