BurnInTest automated command not working on version 11 but works on earlier versions

[Pnookala]

Hi, I am running graphics (2D & 3D) stress tests on windows systems using an automated python script. When I run my command on version 10.2 or earlier versions, I have 0 issues with the tests. However, when I run the command on version 11, the test will start for a minute and then randomly stop and the application closes. When this happens the report/log file only contain system information and nothing about the test results themselves (likely because it is never reaching the test). Also, sometimes the application will just launch and stay on the "pre-configured" tests screen.

I have no clue why this behavior is occurring. Any help would be greatly appreciated. FYI the command is the exact same when running on different BurnIn versions.


Here is the command:

C:\Program Files\BurnInTest\bit.exe -C C:\graphics\3dgraphicsstressv81.bitcfg -S C:\graphics\stress_tests\settings.bits -D 1440


Settings File (.bits):

SETLOG LOG yes NAME "{report_file}" TIME no REPORT text LOGLEVEL no SUM yes FILE new
RUN CONFIG
EXIT

If you run the same tests without the automation do you see a problem?
The problem might be hardware instability?

Do you have the latest video card device drivers installed?

What exact version of BIT are you using?

Can you post the log files.

Hi David,

1. If I run the test using the BurnIn GUI (no automation), there are no issues. However, if I run this command in the terminal or a python script, the aforementioned issues occur. It cannot be hardware instability since previous BurnIn versions work as well as manual testing on this device.
2. Yes the latest drivers are installed.
3. I am using version 11.0.1008. I have run this automated command successfully on many versions of BurnIn 9 and 10.
4. The log is incomplete since the application closes mid-testing. I have pasted the log file below: (redacted sensitive information).

I have noted that my command runs the test whenever I do not use the "-S" flag. Could this be the reason my full command is not working?

Here is what is contained in my .bits file :
