UCCNC shuts down unexpectedly

Hi Kit,

Looks like you've got two good responses to explore already; I'd add that you can find more information out using event viewer which may help figure out what has gone on. For the uninitiated, here are a couple of screenshots which should help show how to get there and what to look for. Gold dust would be finding an application error on UCCNC at the time of the crash, and you can use the other tabs to see if anything else on the system was happening simultaneously.



Are you running any plugins on UCCNC?

Have you double checked the power management settings to ensure that the PC never sleeps/hibernates etc? Sometimes you can also look at the drivers for the network card and set this specifically to stay awake which is important to keep UCCNC working well and connected.

FYI I've recently updated my CNC PC to Windows 10 (to get wireless Xbox controller support... I might to a how-to on that soon, it is after all awesome), I'm running v1.211, so will keep an eye out for similar behaviour.

Looks like we have gold dust Andy! I wasn't aware of Event Viewer but the two errors in the picture below would be about the right times. I owe you many, many HobNobs!. All I have to do now is work out what on earth the explanations mean. At least I have something to work on.

The only plug-in I'm using is the X-Box pendant one. I'll have to try running without it and see if that makes a diference. It worked fine for quite a while before this problem reared it's ugly though.
