Windows Fall Creator's Update & Octane Render - Blue Screen
Posted: Fri Dec 01, 2017 6:45 am
Hey Aoktar & Team,
I've been trying to work out issues since Windows has updated to the new Fall Creator's Update v.1709
When going to rendering to Live Viewer, Picture Viewer (in C4D) and in standalone - I'm getting a hard freeze and then eventually it goes to a blue screen.
I've tried multiple NVidia drivers including the ones posted in other posts (382.33 was successful for some), and the lastest 388.43 - and some in between with no luck.
I've also tested multiple sticks of RAM, in various combinations 1x, 2x, 4x and all work well.
I thought maybe it was a network glitch, pulling image assets from a NAS drive, so I localized/saved with assets, so all images/tex were with the project - still freezing.
I tested each card individually with the Octane benchmark tool, and card 3 froze, and I thought that was the problem - then test it again, and it worked fine.
It's hard to tell where the problem lies - software/plugins vs. drivers/hardware, or even with the new Windows update.
I did manage to save out various log files for some of the renders that locked up but didn't trigger a blue screen.
Either way, it would be helpful to get some insight on other areas I could troubleshoot based off your findings - or perhaps there are some clues in the log files to any issues with the GPUs.
A. Windows Home Fall Creators Edition v1709
B. 7x 980ti
C. 64GB RAM
D. Multiple tried - but currently on 382.33
E. Octane Standalone 3.06.2
F. Octane Render Plugin 3.06.2
G. Cinema 4D
H. Stated above
