Hi,
We are experiencing 3 different crash issues... The first one, locks up the entire computer and you cant do anything (move the mouse) after about 20 samples.. The second one is where octane closes itself after around 20 samples aswell... And the third, is where it is working normally for a while then crashes.
We have tried the using both 266.58 and 270.51 nvidia drivers with cuda 3.2 & 4 beta
This happens on a scene which uses up around 50 meg of ram with no textures attached.
Is there a crash log file that octane writes out or anything?

To help you, we need some more information:
- What is your operating system?
- Which graphics card(s) do you render on?
- Which version of Octane are you using? If you are on Windows: Did you use the installer or the ZIP archive?
- Does it happen only with a particular scene? If yes, what is the render resolution and the render kernel (direct lighting / path tracing)?
- If it always happes: Can you render the material ball scene without problems?
Cheers,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,
We are running windows 7 64 bit, with a gtx 580, I have tried both 2.45, 2.46 and 2.46b and it crashes on all of them.
The last crash (which wasnt straight away) was when i was rendering the material ball by itself... it seems like it crashes when it goes too fast?
It happens around 20 samples with direct lighting and 10 samples with path tracing.
I am in the process of reinstalling windows totally, hopefully that will solve my problems
Any other suggestions?

You could try a clean install of the GeForce driver 266.51 before you wipe your whole OS. Other people don't have problems with that card and driver.convergen wrote:Hi Marcus,

You should also have an eye on the heat development of the card. And of course, it could also be, that the hardware is faulty.
