I'll start off by saying that I just upgraded my RAM to 4gb. Until then, I hadn't had this problem.

What is happening is, when I load up three instances of Gatherbuddy, it will run for a bit, and then I'll look at the screen and all or all but one of the instances will be shut down. No immediate error.

I am using the latest version of Gatherbuddy. I have deleted and redownloaded.

The only message out of the ordinary in the Debug.html file is this

"Error - Main wow thread is not found: Couldn't get process information from performance counter.. Gatherbuddy will exit now."

WoW does not shut down. The WoW window stays open and my character stay logged in. Gatherbuddy just shuts down.

EDIT: I just had two running smoothly, but opening a third shuts all of them down.
EDIT: Restarting my computer.

A system restart seems to have solved the problem. I'll post if anything happens again. Running smoothly for nearly 10 minutes now versus near instant shutdowns before.
 
I am still having this problem. Does anyone have any insight?

Have you tried testing your new memory?
 
I seem to be getting problems with gb coming up with cant process digital something or other and gb shuts down, been running fine up until yesterday. Nothing in the logs either to show what is happening :(
 
do you have 3 different Gb folders?
or you are trying to run it from the same exe?

make a new installation and make sure that your windows regional settings are the proper
 
from what i'm seeing, it looks like the bot is extracted straight to the desktop

HB2 will let you use settings on 1 HB folder, but GB still requires a different folder as far as I recall (at least I still do it)
 
Thanks for the responses.

I have not tested my new memory. I did google this error and in other cases it points to a lack of system resources. However unless I have a memory leak, my system resources are plentiful.

I am running them all from the same GB.exe file. This is how I had been running them for a little over a month now. Should I be doing it from separate exes?
 
I've bought new memory before and turned out faulty ;\ (it showed up as being there..but they were bad...)

i'd test it if you weren't having problems before u actually put them in.

Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

it's free =p that is if you're still having problems after running multiple .exe :)
 
Alright, I'm running with two separate .exe files for now to see what happens.

I'll update if they mess up and then I'll check my memory.
 
Used two separate GB exes. Crashed after about 15 minutes. Gonna test my memory.

Run memtest overnight it will tell you if you have faulty memory sticks or swap memory out for different if possible or if you have say 3x2gb stick try taking out two and trial and error

Thou faulty memory errors usually result in blue screens
 
Run a memtest program to insure the stability of your ram. Check timing aswell.
Memtest 86 is a good program to test stability

EDIT - super ninja'd
 
Operating system? are you using a virtual desktop manager? did you switch from a 32 bit operating system to a 64 bit one after upgrading to 4gb?
 
Windows XP 32 bit (yes, I know it cannot recognize 4gb but that isnt the problem)

Nothing has changed in my OS. Only upgraded from 2GB to 4GB of ram. 2x 2GB sticks

I ran memtest, it said that the test was passed and to press esc to exit. Figured that was all I needed to do. I didn't know it was something that needs to be ran all night.

Either way, it seems like everything is pointing towards the new ram. I'll run memtest overnight and see what it comes up with.

Run it for a decent amount of passes, and use the dos boot disk. Memtest can't do its job when you have things loaded into it, :-).

But if it is memory, sounds like its on the second stick where you hit the wall.

I suggest pulling one stick out, test it, repeat.

Sometimes you will not see errors for a few passes till it utilizes it all.
 
I'm running the ISO file on a boot disk.. I just stopped it prematurely. I'll run it tonight while I'm sleeping. For now, I'm RAFing new bots up.

My ram upgrade was from 2x 1gb up to 2x 2gb, so it isn't really a matter of going back to the other ram :D

I have to figure out which one, if not both, of these sticks are faulty and I need to do it before Tuesday to exchange them at Fry's. (I go home Tuesday and our closest Fry's is 200 miles away) :D

I'm sure I'll get it figured out. It has to be a ram problem. For now, switched the two new sticks around just for shit and giggles. I've done it before and it worked, who knows. Memtest will tell though.

Thanks again.
