Bitcoin-QT forced shutdown?

[Mageant]

I get an error in Bitcoin core that after about 2 hours of user inactivity the program gets shut down by the OS. A dialog window appears "An error has occured and Windows needs to shut this program". I can only click one button and then it proceeds to shut down Bitcoin core (the window is still there).

This happens both in version 0.9.3 and 0.10.rc3.

It even caused a DB corruption once, forcing me to redownload the entire blockchain.

I use Windows XP (SP3) with all patches. I've completely turned off any energy saving/standby modes (only screensaver after 11 minutes which does not affect this).

As long as I am using the computer everything is fine (I use a mouse jiggler program to let it run through).


Does anybody have an idea what the problem could be?

the only time iv seen this is when the harddrives spin down ti save power. try sticking windows in high power mode this will disable any and all power saving features. it somewhere in control panel

In my case only the Bitcoin core program gets shut down. It does not affect my OS. So it appears different.

It happened to me using 0.9.3 but when I upgraded to 0.10 it was resolved, Bitcoin Core gets shutdown after few minutes (doesn't matter if I was using the computer or not). I also used a new folder for data (-datadir=...). 0.10 is much faster to redownload the blockchain, it took me less than 4 Hrs.

same problem 0.9.3.0  with XP but no dialog window. (unless it removes itself)
it happens after a few hours with no mouse or keyboard movements, hard drive always on.

do you see any "receive version message: /Shibetoshi:0.1/: version 70002, blocks=0, us=[::]:0, them=[::]:0, peer="
in your debug.log files?
what wallet use Shibetoshi?

IIRC that's an old Doge wallet, I think their latest is 1.8 by now and that doesn't connect to the bitcoin network anymore. Not sure why they did to begin with. Is there an IP associated with that entry?

Maybe I'll test it again as it could be both wallets running at the same time?

About the shutdown maybe the screen saver on XP has some thing to do with a forced shutdown?

I don't see them listed on getaddr.bitnodes.io or connected to bc.i.



Regarding the XP problem, how are everybody's harddrives? Health check, free capacity?
