Hello,
I have a nice Windows workstation with dual 3090' GPUs, Threadripper CPU, 256 gigs of RAM, and a RAID 0 with several M2 drives as my primary work drive. I do some VR work and you need all the power you can get to work with 8K 3D 360 footage. I can render all day long without issue using Mistika VR and this rig.
I have also edited lots of footage on this rig in Resolve from Sony A7's, stuff that doesn't shoot RAW. Content recorded in the A7 (MP4) works fine as well as content recorded to a Ninja V in ProRes.
Recently I had a project with RED Komodo footage shot and edited in RED RAW. While color grading in Resolve this footage caused the system to become unstable and crash. Like a HARD crash, whole computer shuts off crash, ha ha.
This is the only time this workstation has ever crashed like that. After some playing around I unplugged power to the second GPU (that wasn't attached to my display) and that fixed it. I lost processing speed, but at least it was stable.
While playing with another project using Pocket 6K's shooting in BRAW, the same thing happened. Using both GPUs would hard crash the system. Unplugging one of the GPUs would fix it.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Real bummer to lose a GPU and slow down. Seems to only be a RAW file issue with Resolve.
Is there a setting or preference to change? Something under memory and GPU or decode options?
Thanks,
Rich
Edit: Seems that the issue was my 1,300W PSU. Upgrading to a 1,600W PSU has fixed the issues.
