Crash

[Jolbertoquini]

HI Guys,

Just a quick question I did some research on the forum but I didn't find anything about it, Is a issue have with Octane standalone, basically if in may machine I render images smaller then fullHD is work perfect if I render higher then that my computer switch off, Black screen and restart. This happening always with big renders. I check error is link the nvidia card problem says windows, so I update driver trying everything and still the problem uninstall and install no changes other machines work but I toke the same type of machine and this happening to in the workstation.

is a Lenovo Thinkstation D20 with Windows 7 64-bit Processor Intel xeon X5650 @ 2.67GHz with memory ram 16GB, I have one GTX 780ti and a Quadro 2000.

Any idea or advise????

Hi Jolbertoquini,

I have encountered the same problem when I render, but at very high resolution, over 10000 pixles, it's not clear if the problem was due to the grafic card or Octane standalone, I have a PC configured as your, WIN 8.1 60 bit 1 xeon X5460 @ 3,16 GHz, 16 GB ram, one GTX 750 Titan Black 6GB and one Quadro K2000.
May be a problem with the power supply, I have a 1100 watts ps. I think the needs of watts by GTX exceed (on that situation) the max watts of power line for graphic card. I use only GTX for render.

hi.
a couple of questions:
are you using the quadro only for display and the 780 only for Octane?
are you monitoring the VRAM usage?

ciao beppe

yes, and nothing change look normal in others computers.

Another one
have you installed octane or just unzipped?
The installer should change some windows parameter for avoiding the timeout that is very important when working with displacement

Hi,
in this case it seems that the PSU doesn't works as expected, have you tried with a bigger one or with an external one only for the GTX?
