Hi !
I need help because every time I render my scene with octane render, my computer just suddenly reboot...
It crashes every like 10-15 frames and I have no reports as the computer just shuts down and reboot (-___-)
Basically, I could just wait till it crashes, and begin the render again where it stopped, it's awesome :'(
Render with picture viewer or render queue makes no difference.

Here are my specs :
. Windows 8.1
. 2x GeForce GTX 970 (latest drivers installed)
Nvidia Cuda driver 8.0
. IntelCore i7 4790K CPU 4.00GHz
. Nvidia driver version 21.21.13.7866
. OctaneRender Standalone version 3
. OctaneRender plugin for cinema 4D version 3
. Cinema 4D R18.020

My scene is just a face "melting" with cloth tag, it works very well and fast with normal render.
I have no other material than octane materials in it.
It just makes me crazy right now (^_^')

thanks in advance for you help if you can !

What You just pointed sounds like power related issue. Reboots are rarely if ever triggered by software & most likely it has something to do with Your rig. Please give some details exactly what PSU You're using & how long You already have that.

Thx for your reply glimpse !
Indeed I got several answers like yours concerning the power issue...
Mine is a Be Quiet Pure Pwer L8, 730W.
I have had my computer for 2 years now, did not use it that much tho.
I've just got it back from the Pc repairer, my processor was broken, they made tests so I guess there should be no problem...
Someone told me it could come from my cinema 4D version which is below R18.028 (I have 020)

what d you think ?
thx again !

Remove one graphic card and make some tests. Octane cannot have a feature like that. It should be a hardware issue as Tom said.
