Animation stops after a few frames

[ephdot]

I've seen others have the same or similar issues. That is, you start an animation from Blender (or other package) and it renders a few frames and then stops. I've seen suggestions for killing octane when idle or on a timed basis to minimize the lost work from this issue. Sadly, none of them seemed to work for me.

I have an animation I've been working on that would not render more than three frames until it took a crap.

Then the idea came to me yesterday that it could possibly be something to do with power management on my PC. To that end, I checked the advanced power management settings and found that there is a setting for PCI Express. On a hunch, I disabled that. I then disabled the timeout for my monitors so they never turn off.

Unbelievably, the animation has now been running for over 13 hours without a single hiccup.

This may not work for everyone who has been seeing the issue, but I figure it's worth posting if it helps anyone else.

Well, it happens to me, but the problem seems to come from the exporter from Blender.

Anyway, my two graphic cards are not in the computer, but external (in a Cubix box) and powered by a separate 750W, so i don't think that it is a power related trouble. But thank you anyway for the information !
