Hello. I’m experiencing my blender crashing when I render an image, whether it be 1080p or higher, solely when it tries rendering sample 1 out of 1024.
I used to be able to render overnight with no issue, no crashing, etc… primarily when I only had 32 GBs of ram. I recently applied the thermal paste, " Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut". The issue persists. Even with all other applications closed, blender refuses to achieve the performance it used to.
I do believe my problem mainly came from overusing my pc overnight at near 90-100% for almost 19 hours at times could’ve been the cause when using the program, “Topaz Video A.I.” As that program requires heavy tasks.
if you thinkyou computer suffered from the long heated period thenyou might check how the temperature rises when you do some heavy tasks… also with something else then blender to check if this is really the probem.
Also: only a specifc file or in general and when using any “special” vidoo graphic card “extras” (like OptiX ??) maybe try to disable it ortry rendering with CPU only with looking at the temperature curves do double check what’s the culprit.
Blender isn’t the only one with a heating problem. It’s just primarily with applications that require a heavy task. I mean, I somehow run out of memory even with 64gbs of ram sometimes. Also, I use CUDA in the preferences. I should’ve mentioned I use Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070.
This is not only missleading and some kind of wrong message to the world but it also makes the probability that people spot your real problem by far smaller.
…and it seem you know already the problem… it’s seems your motherboard and power supply has suffered too ?
( …and running out of memory has nothing to do with this at all… )
Because blender is the one I’m having the issue with. Rarely does it happen with other applications, but when it does, it’s ones that require heavy tasks. And to say, “My computer crashes on heavy loads…” wouldn’t be true lol. Like I said, my main issue is blender crashing typically during the 1st sample render.
I’m a little confused since it was working fine when I had less ram. Also, I do ensure that all applications running in the background are closed using task manager and/or put to sleep.
I was saying how blender is the one with the problem I wanted to focus on even though certain programs at times gets affected. Some programs react differently when your cpu overheats.
