Need Help - Octane Freezes using Google Sketchup 2015 Tweet

[lcp360]

Hi,

I have been scratching my head over this for the last week. I upgraded the GPU's in my device in hopes to make it my "render" machine. I am building my models on one computer, exporting them and importing into my "render" machine. When i load the model and run Octane, it freezes on me each time. When I try and run Octane using a small, simple model it works, but it freezes on large models.

Build:
CPU: Intel Xeon E5620 @ 2.40GHz x2
Ram: 24.0 GB Triple-Channel DDR3 @532MHz (7-7-7-20)
Motherboard: EVGA EVGA Classified SR-2
GPU: GTX 1070 x2 and TITAN Black x2
Storage: 256GB SSD Samsung 850 PRO
Power - 1500W

I have cleaned and replaced the the thermal paste. Nothing is overheating.
1) Am i running the wrong version of Octane? 3.04.4.5
2) Am i running the wrong Sketchup? I am using 2015 because I don't think the new 2017 will work with my GTX1070's?
3) Should i get rid of the GTX1070's and go with something else? (i just bought them)
4) Should i use the Cloud rendering and let them do the heavy lifting?

ugh... Do i need to go with a new motherboard and cpus?

Please help!

It is about win10 bug with 100% disk usage problem.

Try this :

1. Edit registry for prefetcher - set 1 instead of 3 (run regedit -> local machine -> system -> control set ->control->session manager->mem.manag.->prefetch...)
2. Kill the services: windows search, superfetch, connected use experiences and telemetry, background intelligent transfer service
3. turn off flash in chrome entering url -> chrome://plugins

Hope it helps,

Thank you for the advice. I have disabled the items you mentioned, updated the CUDA, and updated the NVIDIA Graphics drivers...

Unfortunately this did not work for me..

After some further tests octane does initiate and work however it takes 3-5 minutes for it to initiate. On some larger models it crashes after running for a few minutes. I have videos available of this if necessary. In the end it works but very very slow to load. Is it my old processors causing this??
