Hi, I just had the same problem on a render (actually I got it twice).

But the difference is that I only have one GPU (580). The scene I'm rendering is not that heavy and the memory is far from being saturated.
The problem occurred approximately after 10-15 hours rendering : I let octane render all night and it was still running fine this morning, but after having used the computer (mostly surfing using firefox) I noticed the engine didn't response any more and saw the (failed) label.

Any ideas ?

It shows :
Direct2D enabled: true
DirectWrite enabled: true (6.1.7601.17563)

I'm currently rendering and surfing, the GPU has not failed yet.
