detbear Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 So I have used V.18 for a long time. On my older Vista system(Never had a problem) But I switched many months ago to using my Windows 10 cpu. Suddenly this week, everytime I render, my computer cuts off randomly. This has begun to repeat over and over. I don't have time to do any R&D. Has anyone else had this issue on Windows 10? or V18? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 23, 2017 Hash Fellow Share Posted August 23, 2017 First guess, which I have no way to test... rendering is maxing the CPU enough that it overheats and shuts down. Is the CPU heatsink clogged with cat hair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 24, 2017 Hash Fellow Share Posted August 24, 2017 The more I think about this the more I think something is overheating. AM v18 certainly hasn't changed recently. It might be a part starting to fail but the symptoms sound like something isn't getting cooled right. An accumulation of dust like this might impede the cooling enough to cause a failure. I didn't see this until i took off the fan. Or.... maybe a fan has just plain failed? A computer can limp along with incomplete cooling until it has to do real work and then the lack of full cooling causes a shut down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
