Corrupted JPEG2000 frame

1 corrupted JPEG2000 frame in a 90min export.

Is this a graphics card problem for sure?
Or it could be something else (electricity, ...)?




I have a Radeon VII 16GB card and the export was 2k JPEG2000 150mb/s. It never happened before in this machine (1year old, we do such exports all the time)


What do you think?

Could be anything unless you are able to reproduce. Memory corruption, processing error, some infrequent bug, particle from space hitting some chip, voltage fluctuation, failing hardware… No way to tell really if it is just one time in one frame first time.

Please remember that with todays speeds and chip density, a single bad hit from radioactivity (natural or man-made) can cause a hiccup.
Structures with a few nanometers are a more than hundred times smaller than the wavelength of visible light…

OTOH, if you can reproduce it on that single frame, it might be defective from the start.

I was wondering, because it started happening this month, and in affected several exports, every time with 1 or 2 frames corrupted. On different projects, but always when encoding for the DCDM (JpeG2000)

Hmmm. Some RAM going bad, then?

1) how hot is your system when rendering?
2) open all the cases, get a good air compressing system and below all the dust out
3) re-set the cards and ram
4) do some stress test for the RAM/GPU/CPU and disks.

Bonus

As it is starting to happen to me at home, the CPU is not cooling enough due to aging of the thermal paste and water cooling system.

CPU was reaching 100 C in rendering….

So i ordered a Thermal Paste kit and a new Water cooling system (I cannot replenish the fluid in the cheap old one)

I would suspect a heat problem, or maybe something else is close to failing, if it isn't always the same frames.

Thanks for the tips, I will try. Although the system is just 1y old
