I recently upgraded to CS4 from CS2 on my Windows XP SP2 machine at home. The machine is pretty brawny: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU @ 2.4 ghz w/ 2 gb of RAM.
When using Adobe Camera Raw within CS4 to process Nikon NEF photos, the machine will suddenly crash completely. I mean, no error messages or anything. The machine literally just goes dead and shuts off, unexpectedly and I lose my .xmp files with color corrections. It reboots fine most of the time, but once it prompted to go into Safe Mode. I obliged and it seemed fine in Safe Mode, so I just rebooted normally. Seems to be when I have more than 50 NEFs open at once. Sometimes it happens when I’m in the middle of color correcting and sometimes it happens during the step when I select multiple NEFs and commence with Saving them as .jpgs.
Any advice on what to check out? I went into the Event viewer, but didn’t find anything suspect in there. Thanks in advance! -David
