hangin/Crashing when rendering with MR, Maya or Vue
Hello there
Im having some seirous issues with one of work PC's that keeps crashing while rendering.
I have tried many things - but i would like to know bit more about what to do before going to reinstall entire system.
HArdware and system
Machine is Dual Xeon motherboard s5000X with two quadcore Xeon processors.
OS is windows 7 pro.
I tried with 4 x 2 gig ram and with different 4 x 8 gig ram - to test if it was ram.
I had an idea it was a harddrive issue - and tried many different cables for that.
Issue:
It crashes while rendering using Maya, Mental ray og Vue Xtream.
It sometimes has to do with bit warm temperature inside the room (im assuming 35 degree or so) - but unfortunately it also happens with "normal" temperature like 20 degree or so.
THe crashes that i have seen (in normal temperature) have startet with a system being "unstable" normally where a render that takes 1 minutes renders for 30 frames, then they start taking longer and longer - and then they stop - they take longer - but they use 100% for only the 1 minute it takes to render and then 0% for rest of the time.
In this period if i try doing anythign - even running taskmanager and shutting down the process mayabatch.exe or any other program it will not do it.
I can select end process - and choose yes when im asked - but process is never terminated.
The more keys and buttons i press the more things start to hang - and at no point am i able to turn of the machine - even using the on off buttom on machine - only if I hold down the button.
IF i do nothing it will at some point crash.
Im curious if this is somehow a hardware - like graphics card etc. issue or if it is somehow some virus, trojan, or simply some bad programming/bad drivers or something like that.(i have tried scanning for virus etc.)
I have run some memtes - i dont remember running CPU test.
I apreciate all help.
I will gladly share any info and files that i can - if that can help.
Best regards
Karsten
I also now have uploaded the ystem info Windows_NT6_BSOD_jcgriff2 as requested
