Hi remKa,
Are you running the 591.74 drivers? Did you enable Neural Radiance Cache, or set anything in the LOD selection bias?

Is your problem found Windows 11 issue? But do you use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller)?
I've RTX 4090 with NV Studio 591.74 driver and I was rendering 3M-polygon scene at Path Tracing kernel during 25 hours in this week on OctaneRender... standalone 2025.5 running Win...
10 x64 22H2... Still no any issues.

Hi,
NVIDIA has confirmed that the crash introduced with the 591.x drivers has been fixed in the latest build (591.74). If you’re still experiencing crashes, please try updating to the latest Studio driver, version 591.74.

Hi Paride,
What about 5090s not using all their potential during rendering?

I saw an interesting comment
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/582537/black-screen-crashes-help-needed/
SOLVED (atleast for now) havent had crashes for a few days now, will keep updating.
fix that helped me.
1. uninstall gpu drivers with DDU (no network, safemode, etc. there is tutorial on youtube)
2. install latest drivers
3.restart pc
4. run pc as usual
5. CLEAN SHUT DOWN pc, hold shift and press power off button in windows (not physical button on case), just keep holding shift till it turns off.
I tried DDU method 4 times, and pc still crashed, turns out windows quickstart keep some trash dll files that are getting wiped after you clean shut down, these dll files kept crashing drivers no matter how many times you reinstalled it, its like a cache memory. atleast it helped for me.

Thanks for the workaround, I had luck with a single DDU, no more crash with the 3ds max plugin but I still have crashes with Houdini Octane plugin, I'll try the method you provided

How to Perform a Clean Shut Down Using Shift
Click Start
Click the Power button
Hold the Shift key
While holding Shift, click Shut down
Keep holding Shift until the PC fully powers off
⚠ Important:
Use the Windows power menu, not the physical button on your PC case.
Keep holding Shift until the screen turns off and the fans stop.
After that, turn the PC back on normally using the power button.
