Hello,

I run into Windows blue screen of death problems when I try to render in Octane.

I've had the same hardware for quite a long time now and I can't remember having those problems with older versions of Octane. May it be a 1.53 problem ?

I'd like to add that Thea Render never crashes with the same GPU cards, so it seems to be Octane related.

My rig :

Windows 8.1
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
Geforce GTX Titan 6Gb
Geforce GTX 580 3Gb

Thanks for your inputs...

interesting, never had a blue screen while Octaning =) if I see it most likelly operating system come out broken & usually the best fix is reinstaling =)

How frequent do this apear?

Sadly quite often... I first thought it was plugin related, running Octane from Max, but I tried rendering scenes from the standalone and it's the same deal...

Giving it enough tweaking around, it crashes nearly every time

Are the 580 GTX and the Titan still able to work together with 1.53 ?

What PSU do you own?

PSU ?

What power supply do you own? My previous bsod was power-supply related.

It's an OCZ ZX Series 1250 W

That seems about enough juice for those cards

You could try different NVIDIA drivers (if you are on the latest try a previous stable release, or if you are not on the latest, then upgrade).
Also you could try the cards one at a time, to see if it is just one of them that is causing a problem. Also try updating your motherboard drivers if it is a recent board with updates available from the manufacturer.

Thanks
Chris.

Check every gpu in different pcie slots too! One time a pcie slot was broken on my p6tws mainboard
And check with MSI afterburner your temps and gpu usage, see if they are stable
