Computer locking up

I have a new issue with octane. I have done multiple rendering of a scene. When I go to render it now Octane gets though the first sample and then my computer completely locks, I have to hold down the power button until my system reboots.

Has anyone had experience with this, is there a fix?

update: if I turn off all the octane texture nodes and have none in the scene it does not crash. So do I have a corrupt texture node that could cause this?

Thanks,

Paul W.


Some specs of my system:
Octane for Lightwave 11.6.3
Octane build 2.23.2.1

Window 7 Po
Intel i7 5820k
DDR4 32gb 3000mhz
OCZ Vector 480gb SSD
Evga GTX Titan X SC

Is it possible that you have a displacement that is set waaay high? This could be the culprit if so.

I removed the displacement map and now it runs fine.

The displacement map was for 3" tall grass, the only displacement map in my scene. Good call, you saved me a lot of head ache.

Thanks!

Glad I could help. And dude, use instances for grass... you will never, ever, go back.
