Hey all,
I’ve been trying to render a few different scenes using Cycles in Blender 2.69 and it seems to crash every time. One scene was previously functioning (probably a few months ago, not sure what version), the other scene is new, but not very complex. When I attempt to render an image in Cycles or in the basic Blender Internal engines Blender locks up. From the Task Manager I can see that the RAM use of Blender skyrockets until it caps and my computer crashes. I am, however, able to use the Blender viewport rendering. For obvious reasons, I would love to resolve this issue.
I have tried reinstalling Blender multiple times.
I have tried rendering various scenes. (The simple starter scene does render successfully).
I have tried using the BI and Cycles engines.
System:
FX-8120
Radeon HD 7970 x2
16GB RAM
I would be happy to supply any additional information that may be required to resolve the problem. This is my best effort to present most of the relevant information.
