Hi aoktar,
Octane is running again. I reinstalled the NVIDIA Driver, did a full reinstall, and switched to 320.18.
No error screen on start up anymore and all GPUs are there.
But after 3 Minutes of rendering I got a bluescreen again... and 2 GPUs are off.
I dunno If it is a real hardware problem, but it seems to. Now I am rendering with 6 GPUs and its fine... but not fast enough for my deadline ;(
One thing I mentioned: The stats GUI over the Live Viewer Picture disappeared for the last days, before the first bluescreens happened, although it was ticked on in the "others menue". It just didn`t show up anymore.
Now it is there again... dunno if this gives any info...
I might have some hardware and nvidia driver problem?
Also I noticed that my Focusrite Firewire Audiointerface started to blink, just before the bluescreens happened and audioplayback got stuttering. Maybe there is also a problem with the Nvidia HD Audiodriver and my firewire audio driver?
I also tried not installing the NVIDIA HD Audiodriver, but this caused even more Problems.
Turned my audiointerface off now for more testing.
Which NVIDIA version do you use?
I think the older versions bypassed GPU errors or GPU VRam errors... the newer version seem to be less tolerant and cause bluescreens, if there is any failing? My hottest GPU is about 72 degrees (GTX590), the other one of the same card about 68 degree. Thats the card that sometimes disappears... but sometimes its another card... so I don`t get it.
I had more than 10 days continuous rendering with all GPUs two month ago`without problems, now it makes trouble again. Very strange... only thing I changed was the NVIDIA driver Versions... now it seems I don`t have one that is working stable with all my GPUs... 280.26 was the one I had best rendering performance with, but now it gives me the startup error.
Did you change anything in the last C4Doctane versions, that needs newer NVIDIA driver or newer CUDA?
Hope to get my work done,
see you later,
ChrisVis
