Hi. I am working on Windows 11 and experiencing regular crashes with 3D Slicer. It is happing with data I have used in the past with no problem. I switched to my Mac lap top, same 3D slicer version (5.8.1), same data and experienced no crashes. The lap top is not sufficient for the work I need to do so need to fix the problem with the PC. Help!
To get effective help, please describe specifically what you did, what data you used, and what the log files contain.
Hi. I’m loading DICOM files / CT scans. Uploading folder approx 1 GB, 4,000 DICOM files
Switching to Volume Rendering,
Selecting the Eye button to reveal the volume.
Selecting a preset
Selecting Fit to Volume
This is when it crashes. Sometimes after Fit to Volume the item appears, but crashes when I try to work with it. For a while I had a few scans that would work, and others crashing so wondered if the problem was corrupt files. But now it is happening with all of them in all Versions of 3DSlicer I have tried. As mentioned in first post, this is not happening on the Mac lap top, just the Windows PC. Unfortunately I need to do the work on the PC. See attached for screen shots error logs. Thanks
Have you chosen to use multi-volume rendering? Does the crash occur if you choose CPU or GPU volume rendering?
Hi. See screen shot attached for the volume I am selecting. To be honest, I don’t know about multi-volume rendering, but wish I did. Also attached are some screenshots of warnings and Examination results when loading data. Definitely choosing GPU volume rendering.
Thanks
I think the error log you are showing belongs to the freshly started Slicer. Maybe if you find the log for the session that crashed it will show something useful.
Alternatively you can send us the data that you use. The steps to reproduce the crash seem very simple, so there might be about the data that Slicer is not well prepared for.
Try setting “VTK CPU Ray Casting” and “VTK GPU Ray Casting” rendering in the Volume Rendering module and see if one or the other works better.
Hi
I Have tried all options for Casting, CPU, GPU and multi volume. Same result. I have also updated my NVIDIA driver, but still crashing. It seems to be something in my Windows system as this is not happening when I use the same DICOM data on the Mac laptop.
I have located previous logs and attached here.
Thanks so much for your help.
Cheers
Valerie

Hi
I just sent an email reply to you regarding my problem with crashing. I attached the logs to that email, but they were blocked. I have now created a link to an iDrive folder for you to access. This is the first time I have used my iDrive back up system to share files, so please let me know if there are any problems. I did not use the advanced option so it should not require a password.

In case the text of my last email was blocked also, I have pasted it below in this email.
