    BSOD rendering with 3ds max vray, 0x0000003b


    Hi,

    I recently started getting some bsods when rendering in 3ds max 2014, with vray, on windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. I looked around and couldnt find any info that i could understand. I checked and win is up to date, including all/most of my drivers. No heat problems. Reset bios.
    Here are my system specs:
    Custom PC, gigabyte p67x-ud3-b3, uefi bios U1b, i7 2600, 16gb ram, gigabyte gtx 780 oc rev2 (recently bought), samsung evo 250 gb, wd 1tb caviar black. Hope i didnt forget anything.

    Thank you in advance! I dont know where else to go for help.

    Oh i forgot to mention that i ran memtest with no issues found, sfc, scanned the harddrives, problem still persists. I will start a stress test too, maybe that will help narrow it down a bit.

    Yes, the BSOD you posted is related to your graphics driver. However, it is up to date so I will first recommend running Furmark.
    Follow these instructions.

    thank you very much for your reply. Just a few hours before, i ran a 3h long prime 95 with success, and a passmark burn test for cpu ram & gpu, and a occt gpu (latest occt) for just an hour because i was afraid to leave it overnight. I will definitely run furmark for at least 2-3 hours in the morning and post some updates. Thank you again for your reply.

    I ran a 30 min furmark, with no errors, temp went to a max of 80 degrees celsius. Last time i rendered in 3d a few days ago, when i came back to the pc, the monitor was in idle, and the computer didnt respond to the mouse or keyboard. So i pressed the restart button, and it got stuck on the bios screen, i had to unplug and hold the power button for 10 secs to be able to boot into windows. Very weird stuff.
    What do you think i should do? revert to older drivers?
    Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you.
    EDIT: when i'm rendering in 3d, i'm using the processor, so there is barely any load on the gpu. It's weird that it seems like a driver problem, than it got stuck on the bios screen on boot like it's a hardware problem

    That sounds like a problem with your CPU. Drivers will not cause the BIOS to freeze as it's not part of windows.
    Try running memtest86, just to be safe.

    I ran memtest overnight, i had to stop it this morning because i had to start working. It ran for 10 hours and 30 mins, 4 passes and no errors. If i can't replicate a bsod with any stress test or diag tool, i can't send back any components to be replaced

    You need to run memtest86 for at least 8 passes otherwise there is still a high chance the RAM could still be faulty.

    Managed to fix it. Installed microsoft patch Windows6.1-KB2836373-v4-x64.msu. Updated Corsair Link to Beta 2.6.5214 (because this was on the bottom of the crash report too).
    Removed aero and some windows effects. No bluescreens since.
    I wouldn't rule out my PSU either, i theoretically need 700W in Full load (calculated online) and i have a 3 year old 650W PSU, which probably can't output 650W anymore.

    Thanks again Thedoctor44 for your help and patience.
