Roberto, your GPU is not powerful enough.

You can find a configuration guide here, in the centre section, that describes the min configs.

So you’re telling me that the reason for not opening resolve is the gpu? But at first I work in the same computer and I didn’t have problems with the GPU

Resolve is very GPU intensive, don’t make conclusions based on other software.

I’m not making conclusion based in other software, the question is why i work normally first and the other day resolve won’t open. My question is if this happened because the GPU is below the requirements.

The problem is like this: there is no clear dividing line between functioning or not functioning on underpowered hardware. You may just add one little extra task or one a bit more demanding format or length of clip or whatever and it quits. What can BM do other than telling you what's really needed?

They could strictly have the software announce: "your computer is not up to spec" and refuse to start. But then many might complain: "but it still worked the other day". Just accept that you are on your own if your hardware is not up to spec. It may work to a certain point, but I'll not be reliable.

Try 12.5, it's easier on the hardware and still available.

The Quadro P400 has CUDA Compute capability 6.1. And it appears to have 2GB of VRAM.

So it should be fine for general HD workflows in Resolve 14 and 15.

And, it was working fine up to 6-13-2018.

It stopped working when you next tried to run Resolve on 6-19-2018.

So the million dollar question is: what changed on your system between 6-13 and 6-19?

Did you do a Windows update? An NVIDIA driver update? Something else?

Did you perhaps add another display? Or move the existing display to another display port on the PC?

I also notice you have forced GPU mode to OpenCL. That GPU should work better with CUDA, if you have a current NVIDIA driver loaded.
