I updated WIndows on Slave. Still the same issue.
I de - and installed the drivers already several times..

Any other guesses?

Thank you so much already for your time.

Sorry, forgot to ask, at which resolution are you rendering?
Have you tried to render at half resolution?
Frame buffer is handled in system RAM.

ciao Beppe

rendering in 1080p.
Will try with half resolution.

RAM usage was only at 8 GB.
Still crashed the Slave on half resolution.

It might be the PSU. It´s a 1000 but maybe getting a bit old.
Trying to render with only 2 GPUs on Slave. so far so good.

This might be the issue.

But sometimes it crashed after 50 frames, so I have to observe and post if this is not the issue.

Thanks again for your time.

Hi,
in general, if you are having issues with PSU, the Render-Node machine should reboot after crash.
What about the motherboard model?
If it is a X99 or X299 motherboard, it could give issues in Multi GPU mode with more than 2x GPUs.

Hi,
with 2 GPU´s it also started to crash again.
It seemed like it was crashing after more frames. But then it happened again after 4-5.

And the slave do sometimes restart while crashing.

Mainboard on Slave is a X99 AII.

Hi,
about X99 motherboard in Multi GPU mode, please have a look at this old discussion here:

Hi,

I did everything that was described in your Link above.
It felt stable in the beginning.
Rendered for a lot of frames.

Then when stoped the rendering. after a few minutes in idle. the slave crashed and restarted the system.
I also reset the Bios which didnt help.

Maybe I have 2 Issues with the slave, one was solved with the Fix above, but the second one is a self restarting system, not corelated with the rendering...

Great to hear that the X99 machine has started to render again!
About the second issue, maybe you have issues with PSU

ciao Beppe

Oh well,

so it looks like nothing helped...
It felt stable but I get the same errors.
Just CInema Crashing.
Slave doesnt crash.
Sometimes it restarts. But less often.

Did a Bios Update.
Driver update.

No Idea what to try now.
