CDP import crashes PC

[pfx]

I think this may be related to my previous issues rather than Trainz, but on trying to import a cdp file, everything goes fine initially, then the CPU usage shoots up to 95%+ causing a PC shut down. Has anyone else experienced similar or should I continue to the PC doctor?

Thanks,
Innis

Loading 95% when unpacking the cdp file is fine. Just delete PC doctor permanently and everything will be fine.

And in the future, do not install such crafts, the built-in Windows Defender is enough.

Increase your Windows swap file to at least 1.5 times your installed RAM. This may help with that issue. PC Doctor does use a lot of resources and it's okay to run but not all the time because of that so remove it from your system start up.

Ahhh, lost in translation perhaps. I meant taking my PC to the PC doctor along the road.

Okay, so I altered the the swap file. I noticed that the existing limits were well below what was being recommended, which were similarly below the 1.5 x RAM minimum and 3 x RAM maximum. Once I've tried testing a cdp import, I'll report back.

Thanks fellas.

I tried importing a cdp this morning. Seemed to be going okay then the CPU temp started to go up (still within tolerable levels) and CPU usage hit 100% and PC shutdown.

Back to the drawing board.

Increase the swap file again. Try 2x and see if that works. Sometimes, this is necessary.

Thanks for the advice. I'll give that a go.

I'm taking it into the PC repair man tomorrow. Hopefully he can get things up and running again.

Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

Curious how large is that .cdp file?

Latest update is the PC guy couldn't work out what was wrong, short of a possible PCU issue but he didn't have one with the correct connections to find out. At least he didn't charge me for it. I'm going to try another place.

@Forester1 the file is 833MB. I installed it before no issue but deleted the files. I've tried a number of cdps and I get the same result every time.
