Blue Screen of Death (ninshsdk.dll)

[ringer_cat]

Hi Folks,

I have an application written in C using NI-DAQmx for a PCIe-6535 running on a server under Windows Server 2008 R2. However, the application crashes the server relatively frequently pointing the finger at ninshsdk.dll.

Here is a link to an eample minidump: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78514452/052413-39390-01.dmp

The crash often occurs when logging in/out of the server or to/from remote desktop, although it can occur at other seemingly random times.

The version of ninshsdk.dll is 1.6.0.49152 (2012/10/09).

Any help stopping this problem would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi Ringer_Cat,

Have you tried reinstalling/upgrading the DAQmx drivers you are using? This may rectify the issue.

Let me know.

Kind Regards,

Hi Larry,

Thanks for the response.

Looks like we may have fixed the issue. We updated the drivers but that didn't help.

However, turns out the code was initialising tasks in one thread and using them in another.

Also, the reset code wasn't correct.

We fixed these two issues and so far all is well.

Many thanks,
