Kann eine schwache HDMI / USB-Verbindung zum Absturz von Windows 7 führen?

Vor ein paar Wochen habe ich meinen Hauptcomputer in einen anderen Raum verlegt und ihn mit langen (10 m) HDMI- und USB-Kabeln verbunden, um in Ruhe rechnen zu können.
Seitdem habe ich auch gelegentliche BSoDs erhalten, hauptsächlich beim Rendern von 3D-Beschleunigungssachen. Die Temperaturen sehen gut aus, also wunderte ich mich: Hypothetisch könnte ein schwaches HDMI-Signal Systemfehler verursachen? Was ist mit USB?

It's possible. If the app is expecting a device to be somewhere and the signal drops, a poorly written driver could be incapable of handling that gently, and you'd get a BSOD.

I'd update all the system drivers first off.

If the issue persists, the true test would be to reconnect to the computer using the shorter cables and see if the issue goes away.

Using higher quality cables may also help prevent the issues as they may be able to carry the signals further without interference.

Ich dachte mir, ich sollte wahrscheinlich mit kurzen Kabeln Fehler beheben, aber mit der Position der Box und ihrer Portabilität wird es ein bisschen PITA sein. ;-) oKtosiTe vor 12 Jahren 0

In theory... yes... but highly unlikely. Video cards (and all electronics) that meet FCC requirements are supposedly designed to handle any reasonable amount interference gracefully. What kind of HDMI cable are you working with? Is this a Category 2 cable? Category 1 cables are cheaper and may not work properly at longer lengths + high resolution. It's more likely that either A) the longer-length of cable is forcing some component on your video card to work harder and it is not behaving properly.... or B) you might have a cold-solder joint someplace that formed by knocking your PC around during the move.

Weak HDMI or USB system should not cause BSODs. However, there are additional issues you have to consider:

  1. There might be bugs in video card or USB drivers that don't handle well the problems that long cables introduce: more noise, possible disconnects due to a weak signal, etc.

  2. Longer cables also mean more EMI, unfortunately. If your cables' shielding is unsatisfactory, electromagnetic noise picked up by these cables might cause hardware faults. Both temporary and permanent (less likely).

    You should check how you routed these cables. Don't put power and data cables together, don't route behind your microwave, etc.

  3. All circuits in your house should have the same "earth". If this is not so, and you connect two devices connected to two receptacles with a potential between their earth levels, you'll get issues.

How to troubleshoot

I suggest you put all your devices in one room, as close as possible, temporarily, but connect them using your long cables. See if you're still getting these problems. If yes, switch to short cables and see if they are gone. This way you can figure out if your cables are to blame or your problem is somewhere else.

If you have EMI issues, sometimes putting clip-on ferrite beads on your data cables, on both ends, close to the connectors, helps.

Ihr dritter Punkt ist gut. Mal sehen, ob ich etwas zur Verbesserung der Erdsituation tun kann. Vielen Dank. oKtosiTe vor 12 Jahren 0
@ oKtosiTe: Dies ist ein seltenes Problem, das bei älteren Häusern mit vielen Renovierungsarbeiten häufiger vorkommt. Wenn Sie es aber haben, sollten Sie sich an einen qualifizierten Elektriker wenden. Dies ist ein ernstes Problem. haimg vor 12 Jahren 0

Are you only using USB cables with no hubs or repeaters in between? If so, the 10 m USB cables are probably violating the USB specification and that could lead to problems with USB devices. If the device on the other end is sensitive to voltage, it could be turning on and off at unpredictable intervals or its microcontroller may suffer memory corruption.

USB repeaters may also cause considerable problems if the device has poorly written drivers and isn't expecting to negotiate lower link speed.
