Max Crashing During Render

I've been using Octane and 3DS Max successfully for a couple of years now.

However, one of my PCs has developed a problem. While rendering, it will randomly freeze the computer, often resulting with a BSOD.

I've attached some images of the error recorded in the log, though often no error is recorded. I've tried isolating individual GPUs, but the problem doesn't appear to be limited to just one card. This has been tested with Nvidia drivers 388.13 and the most recent 398.82 with similar results. O/S is Windows 10 X64, 32GB ram.

Thanks for any help!

Sorry to hear that, I'm running through a bunch of driver versions to see if it helps, no luck so far.

This error message was using driver version 385.41, which Autodesk recommends for these cards. Also, one of the cards is now missing from the list in render settings.

...and back on 398.82, different error messages. I have no idea what is going on, but it doesn't appear to be caused by any single card in particular.

Hi Chris_RSI,

Tight deadlines on a daily basis. Not enough time to risk potential bugs with new versions.

However, with this interruption we are now updating our systems with the latest version.

No luck, everything is updated and still getting the same error messages.

Does anybody know what these error messages mean?
