I have been asked to render out a version of my project and I have tried probably 20 times in the last 24 hours to render it out and Resolve keeps locking up my computer. I have to then physically turn it off and reboot. I have tried rendering with different codecs (ProRes LT, H.264, DNxHD) and tried rendering with GPU settings on CUDA and Auto and nothing seems to make any difference. Please help!

Update: Unplugged the eGPU and rendered it all on the CPU. Worked fine, albeit slower. So sick of the eGPU issues with MacOS. Does Resolve work any better on Windows? ugh. hate the thought of using windows.

Apple does not support NVIDIA eGPU's, so it's not surprising there may be issues doing that.

Apple has NO eGPU support in macOS 10.12.6, which is what your SIG shows you using, so it's really not surprising you are having issues doing that.

When you unplug your eGPU, it's not being rendered on the CPU, it's being rendered with the 2 D700 GPUs in the Mac.

Ok I wondered about that. Do you guys have a recommendation for using Mac or Windows platform for best results with Resolve? And/or a recommendation to use OpenCL or CUDA if it makes a difference? Obviously you wouldnt recommend CUDA on the Mac it seems given the lack of support?
