So I Am trying to render a normal scene and it's just crashing my whole pc ?
Also the render time is slow I thought octane sped this up

As i can understand from your very limited explanation that you have a crash on hardware like a blue screen error or reset!!! If you have very high computational scene or some hardware problems this can be. But your post is not giving any idea what do you do. Please read release topic what we expect to answer your questions.

Sorry yes it was very brief. I am trying to render a scene using the picture viewer for a 2000x2000 jpeg render.
I pressed render and my pc stops working, after an hour the render is finished but is completely black.
I am rendering with 2000 samples
The render looks fine in octanes picture view but does not show up at all in the final render, just blackness

#
so this scene takes 1 hour 30 to render and when complete it's fully black
Also is the render time normal for the octane render ? it seem's slow
32 gb ram, gtx 980 i7 3.4ghz

V2 has 19millions triangle limit. I think you exceed this number in final render. LV utilise editor subdivision values but final render uses the render subdivisions. Check how many triangles do you have. You can see in Script->Console and LV->Help->Octane Log
This kind simple scene should be clean less than 1 min. on a single gpu. Can't you understand render time in Live Viewer? Also this is not working as standard renderer. It works as you set the maxsamples. Don't use much more than you need.
Also watch our video tutorials to learn the usage and optimisations.

I still don't understand what I am doing wrong, sorry I am a student so my knowledge isnt as good as everyone elses. I am really struggling to speed up render time. I feel as if octane isnt working for me
see how slow my render time is ?

2.327 triangles, I really don't know what i'm doign wrong. I have watched the tutorials on optimisation

What about to post your scene? Obviously something is bad here. We can check it for you.

Since installing octane my render time's have been fast in the viewer but very slow when renderd properly to save
I feel as if the programme is broken for me
I can't even see the values change in real time when I change the values in octane settings
Been trying for days. Im at the point of wanting to reinstall windows and install everything fresh
