HOLY CRAP THIS MAY BE [SOLVED]!
I just got done rendering for hours (instead of minutes then BSOD) with Win10 1803/Nvidia 399.07 and octane 4 without a single crash!
X99-E WS usb 3.1 (Bios 3803, likely not required)
Xeon E51650-V3
256 GB ECC RAM
4 GTX 1080 TI's and misc other I/O cards.
1. Download the Message-Signaled Interrupts Utility v2.0
from github:
2. Extract
MSI_util_v2.exe3. Right-click
MSI_util_v2.exe and Run as administrator (Or the pci-e devices
and GPU's will not display)
4. Enable MSI for each GPU listed (Multiple ones should be stacked together) by clicking each GPU checkbox in the MSI column.
5. Restart your workstation
6. Re-run the tool to to make sure MSI is still enabled
Please report back your results!
TL;DR
As a side note, I re-enabled my Group Policy that disallows ANY new driver or piece of sw from installing or getting recognized on boot up or plug in that is not explicitly allowed. This prevents Windows update from updating drivers without you knowing and killing the MSI attribute and BSOD-ing you again until this is actually implementedtwi.
Thanks to page 6 of
this threadfor the discovery!
SPREAD THE NEWS AND HELP THE COMMUNITY. Nvidia will implement this fix in another driver release soon and we won't need to do this, but for now, HECK YAH!
