PC reboots during Labview controlled data acquisition

[DBoardman]

Hi,

I'm using LabView to control the acquisition of a large number of gamma spectra and whenever the system gets to the ~700th data acquisition the PC reboots itself. There is no sign that the Labview software has crashed, the PC just goes dead and reboots. This problem only happens when using LabView. After a data acquisition a data file is saved to the hard drive, the files are only 12KB in size and I have 1GB of RAM, so I don't think it's a memory problem.

Would appreciate any help!

Thanks

hi there

Are there any entries in the system events list (assuming MS Win) or in some application logs?

You said "This problem only happens when using LabView". Does this mean you can acquire data without problems when using another language than LabVIEW? if possible I'd try to create a basic app in some other language to check if the problems depend on the hardware or on the application.

Can you provide some information about your platform and post some code (pls. don't forget required additional files lile driver DLLs etc.)

Sounds like a memory leakage...

Have you monitored the system memory during execution? 

I have seen labview stopping due to memory leaks, but maybe some other devices/drivers on our system causes the reboot, while your (LV) program eat up your memory?
