MT4 v.226 crashes while running a few EA's
tomfid:
I've got a strange problem with my MT4. I was running single instance of terminal.exe with 20 EAs working (of two kinds) - everything was running smoothly without any crashes. I added another 3 EAs (still the same version of the one previously utilized) and since then I started to experience crashes each day. Despite the fact that both terminals seem to excess neither RAM nor proccessor capability of the VPS, I decided to install another instance of MT4 and move some of the EAs over there. The problem still occurs (on that "new" terminal). Below I enclose an error message - can somebody elaborate on this and help me to point out the reason for crashes?
No, there're no DLL's. Do you think that decreasing the "max bars in chart" and "max bars in history" would solve the problem in such circumstances?
Do u get any memory errors? Do u get any errors at all in the journal/expert logs?
Just how much memory is the Terminal using just before crashing? (use Task Manager...)
The point is that there are no memory errors and if I watch Task Manager MT4 consumes little memory (that is both terminals use from 25 to 50 MB of RAM - just up to 5% of available memory)...

Gordon and jjc - thank you for your responses. I've studied the tread you linked, jjc, and there are some suggestions that may help in dealing with the problem. I am going to recompile my EA's during the weekend. Until now I've reinstalled the second instance of MT4 and decreased the "max bars in history" and "max bars on chart", which has resulted in lack of crashes for 2 days. I will watch what will happen after these measurements taken.
same problem, see other post with solution from broker:

I've been having the same problem and have been trouble shooting it for a while now with only little success.
But I think I might know what it is: I started doing 'full, automated and complete installations' as opposed to only installing one and then just 'cloning it' by copying it all to a new folder and opening up another account with it.
Likely we will have to fully 'uninstall' all of them with the *.exe for this. Then do numerous thorough registry cleaning: I have 3 different programs for this and 2 of them work in safety mode as well. I have used these for years and they have NEVER messed up my computer. They have always made it run better. Then with 'RegEdit' go into the registry and scan for EVERY instance of 'MetatQuotes" and delete all instances of keys that you find this way. Then re-install into a completely new, empty folder called something other than what the original folder was . Probably a very good idea to make a backup copy of the entire registry first.
Note I have not done this yet myself. I did uninstall all of them and used the utilities to clean the registry very well. But I didn't search for and delete all instances of "MetaQuotes" and then made the same mistake of 'installing' all on this again. I'm still getting crashes with build 225, Though less often. But then I don't have a dozen instance of MT4 install that I did before that overloads it badly and it still ran fine most of that time except for the occasional freeze up because I had overloaded it so heavily. It ran whit no problems for close to a year when I just copied and cleaned them.
I had a similar problem before when trying to run EA on Windows xp that was compiled on windows Vista.
I noticed you are running windows 2003 try it on other opearting system like xp or vista.
