It's definitely got more to do with my system...I performed another clean sweep and installed 368.69-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql
at least now I am getting consistent BSOD with this error message.
driver IRQL not less or equal
nvlddmkm.sys
I haven't tried underclocking as yet but thank you for pointing me to your signature. I did uninstall and re-install Octane but got the same result.
I did stress test my GPU with Valley | UNIGINE when I was working through DAZ / Iray Issue sending logo files and it got through that okay
Also pushed the limits with 3D Coat Voxel Sculpting and no issues.
Only time the system crashed before was with Iray, Octane was stable but all my messing around has caused issues here now.
It could be hardware related but I dont think so, things started going pear shaped after Win 10 Update / NVidia Driver Update for Substance Painter.
Been checking all sorts of web reports on nvlddmkm.sys / video tdr faliure / - I am missing something.......
I haven't seen other reports of this - so my guess is this is a hardware issue. Have you tried underclocking your card (as per the link in my signature)?I performed another clean sweep for Nvidia Drivers today, installed 378.92-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql, Octane Standalone 3.04.5 crashes in the first few minutes....GPU gives
Feeling very confident now that this is Driver Issue related.
