lights make nvdia drivers crashes

[giacob]

How to prevent that.... i am using 54 osctane light and they give me this problem

This is known limitation due to how the Windows NVidia driver works: if the GPU CUDA kernel process is too complex, and the wait time to get a render sample is too large, the driver thinks that the GPU is frozen and resets it.

There are some register variables to control this wait time. They are set to suitable values by the Octane Standalone install program. Have you installed the Standalone in your computer?

sorry for the late answer but i am on holiday ....
yes i have my octane stand alone installed,,,what i have to do?

50 Octane lights should not be a problem to crash the drivers. What kernel are you using? ... perhaps you have a lot of bounces in the kernel configuration. Also some features, like the displacement mapping, the hair or a lot of instances in the same place, could be hard to render.

Anyway you can change the register parameters to try to get more time for the drivers:

- Launch the regedit (Start -> Run window -> regedit)
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers
- The key "TdrLevel" should be set to 3.
- The key "TdrDelay" is the delay in seconds. Maybe set it to 20 or 30.

Restart your system and try again.

went to register but cannot find neither tdrlevel nor tdr delay in hkey_local_machine/system/ControlGraphc driver

You don't have something like that?

Weird, and are you sure that you have installed the Octane 2.2 Standalone in your system using the Octane installer?

Anyway you could try to add the variables to the register yourself, reboot and see what happens.
