Hi everyone !
Hope your are well !
My problem is that i've installed last week the newest version of daz, 4.12 and since, each time i need to iray render my scene, even if there is nothing in the scene, in fact each time i open my daz, "preparing scene" is on and never ending !
And if i want to render a scene, the picture is entirely black.... so i can't make anything
I didn't changed any parameters in the render settings.... so i don't understand where is the problem because before that, daz 4.10 worked perfectly....
So if you have an idea... it would be great ! it is so frustrating !
Thank you !

It sounds like you need to update your firmware drivers for your graphics card. By default, you should not rely on what ever software drivers Windows' automatically provides you. Very often those lack proper OpenGL support that you will need for IRay.
RAM memory is cheap. You might consider upgrading to 16 GB if you can? It sounds like you don't have enough with 6 GB, and DAZ Studio really needs 16 GB minimum.
Yes, that happens to me too, but it's because the "how long with this take" meter is broken. Mine runs like for ever and the meter jumps from 0 to 85% almost instantly. Be patient!
Black screens happen if you accidentally turn off the headlamp and do scene only and don't put a light in the scene. Since the preview isn't iray, you see a lit scene. Takes a bit of getting used to.
99% a driver problem
and i agree with west, more ram and everything will become more smoother, faster and stable
It's a laptop. Upgrading the RAM may well be the limit on what can be done.
oh, i see, cpu its also overclockable but i doubt you can get benefits beside noise and heat
