It's all about the Software

That will have reloaded and restarted the S3 firmware. I can't explain this problem - never seen it myself except when front-end is overloaded, I use the S3 for many hours every day. It could well be a bug, I don't discount this.

OK thanks Simon. Did the logfile show anything relevant?

Next time it happens send the logfile again with a screenshot as it's happening and enable the statistics. I'm not seeing anything in the logfile you attached. The result of the FFT does show the stations but somehow the IQ has been borked.

It's a strange one for sure, Mike.

I had this happen with my S2 a couple of times, but that was years ago. Never happened with the S3.

It's been fine all day and has just done it again. Here's the screenshot and log file attached.

Try a lower Waterfall resolution, I suggest Default - I think we're overloading the card.

OK will try -2 as it was already 'default'. I'm using a GTX 1060, Thanks Simon.

I don't think a 1060 is enough for this bandwidth. And I really must see a screenshot while the software is running, not when it's stopped.

Hi Simon,

"I don't think a 1060 is enough for this bandwidth" ...even though the GPU load was only 25-30%?

I'll get you a screenshot if/when it happens again.

I've updated the Nvidia driver today so will see if that makes any difference, though I do feel I'm starting to clutch at straws a bit. Still, I do need to try to eliminate as many things as possible.

Thanks,

Mike

I *think* I may have fixed this issue. Two days ago I updated the Nvidia driver and since than it's been fine. I've been running the S3 24 hours a day and it hasn't faltered once.
Fingers crossed it continues.
