Hello,
A lot of us here have been dealing with BSOD watchdog stability issues with Asus X99 mobos (running windows 10) with it's PLX feature that prevent us from using any of the Cuda 9 drivers. Nvidia drivers are to blame and they themselves have admitted to this non-app-specific problem . Would it be possible for Otoy to report this as well to add more pressure? I have already contacted Asus , and I'm trying to get everyone together here, and on the RedShift forums to keep adding support ticket, as they are dealing with this on their end as well. A large number of us use these boards because they have been highly recommended across all forums and have not had a problem until somewhat recently. I literally clean installed every single driver since then, and still only able to use driver 382.33 which is very old.

“We can confirm we do have a bug tracking this issue and we’re currently investigating. Although we have not been able to trigger the BugCheck “DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION”, just system freeze/hang when there is high DPC latency. This was tested on ASUS X99E-WS with 4*GTX1080Ti. We are conducting more tests but the freeze/hang observed will be investigated by our development team."

I'll be damned if I can't use Octane 4!
Thanks guys!
