Yourkit profiler build #429 crashes machine

Post by saqibsaleem »

I am running Java5 RC. Before build #427 (I think) I could not run the UI under java5. Now, when I try to run it, the UI half appears and then hangs the entire machine. The only way to get around this is to do a hard reboot. Has anyone else experienced this?

Actually it's not possible that pure Java program crashes your operation system. If it happens, I see two possible reasons:

1. Something wrong with your hardware (for instance, with RAM)
2. Profiler consumes 100% of CPU and it looks like a hangup of whole computer. In this case please take a JVM thread dump (by launching profiler from console "JAVA_EXE -Xmx256m -jar ..\lib\yjp.jar") and send it to us.

Are you using Linux or Windows? Please provide us full output of "uname -a" or "ver" command.

I am running windowsXP, here is the output of ver:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

I cannot get a thread dump as it locks up the machine as soon as I start, the CPU goes through the roof.
As you can probably guess, I have recently installed SP2 ...
