Photo Al is forcing computer to reboot

[Please describe your issue here. Try to include logs (Help → Logging) and add screenshots if necessary.]

Steps to reproduce issue:

  1. Importing a dng file from Lightroom
  2. Photo AI loads and starts the Auto-Pilot Process
  3. Half way through the auto-pilot, entire computer reboots
  4. This does not happen everytime, but can happen from a device freshly booted up, lightroom loaded and starting Photo AI

HI John,

Done

Lloyd

Unfortunately, the dxdiag file confirms that your machine does not meet our Minimum System Requirements. I have included a link to our Topaz Labs Documentation page for your review:

Topaz Photo AI | System Requirements

Your machine’s GPU’s are only showing about 4GB of VRAM, which our minimum requirement for the application is 6GB.

It is recommended that v3.0.4 or v2.4.2 be used, which may give you a more stable application for this machine. You can use the following links to download these installers for your review:

Please be sure that once you have chosen a version and downloaded the application, you go to Edit > Preferences > General > AI Processor and set the option to CPU . Using the CPU is not ideal since the CPU RAM memory is not dedicated to graphics, but it can give you better performance for this machine.

Let us know how that goes for you or if you have any issues in reverting to the previous versions releases. Also, if you have access to another computer, we can check its compatibility.

Thanks John, I’ll give that a try… Is it an option for me to stay on 3.2.1 and set the preference to AI Processing AI to CPU?

Lloyd

You can try setting the AI Processor to CPU and staying on v3.2.1, if you continue to have problems I would recommend reverting back to a previous version :slight_smile:
