Hi, I am trying to use Nsight 5.5 to look at a simple Vulkan example. However the NSight Monitor keeps crashing. I see the message it has connected to the localhost, followed by a message saying the monitor has aborted abnormally and then a message saying the monitor disconnected from localhost. Looking at the crash mini dump I see the following: Unhandled exception at 0x00007FF980BDCEDC in Nsight.Monitor.exe.11824.dmp: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000000000000. occurred This also happens with Nsight 5.4, but 5.3 seems to work ok. My configuration is: Intel i7-7700 NVidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Windows 10.0.16299 NVidia driver 390.77 Regards Tim. ---

Hi, I’m sorry for the problem you met. Can you please provide more information? - Did the issue only happen with vulkan samples? Did it happen with DX or OpenGL samples? - Did the issue happen with other vulkan samples? such as Vulkan SDK samples, link is [https://vulkan.lunarg.com/](https://vulkan.lunarg.com/). - Is your machine desktop or laptop? - Can we have your sample please? then we can identify the issue quickly. Thanks, Letitia ---

Hi, Thanks for replying. I did as you suggested and built the c++ cube application from the Vulkan SDK demos. It renders ok and I can debug it ok. However the same problem occurs with NSight. As soon as I start graphics debugging the NSight Monitor opens a connection to the local host, then crashes and closes the connection. I am using Visual Studio 15.5.5 and Vulkan 1.0.65.0. Compiling in 64 bit mode. My machine is a desktop machine. So I guess it is something particular about my setup/hardware that this version of NSight doesn’t like. I can send you my source code if you like but given the standard cube demo also fails for me I don’t think this would help you. I have not tried any openGL examples yet, but can do if you think it would help. I don’t have any experience with DX so that might take longer to test out. Any thoughts as to what this might be would be helpful. Regards Tim. ---

Hi tim.j.hutchinson, Thanks for your feedback. Can you use driver 390.65 or 388.59 and check it again? the driver can be found here [Official Advanced Driver Search | NVIDIA](http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us) I can’t reproduce the issue locally with an internal nsight build. If the issue still happened, please wait for the release build and then check it again. Thanks, Letitia ---

Hi Letitia, I have tried the following drivers: 390.77, 390.65 and 388.13 (which is I believe the version that came with my machine). The problem exists with all three versions of the driver. I have reverted back to 390.77 and NSight 5.3, as this combination works for me. Thank you for your help. I will try the next version when it is released and let you know if the problem still persists for me. Regards Tim.
