GPU crashing while rendering [Resolved]

rendermedude

Suddenly with Daz version 4.21, my GPU has started to crash while rendering after 3-4 minutes and I can't figure out why. It doesn't even sound like my system is really being strained, I'm monitoring temps and my GPU is only just srtarting to hit 70C with 67% VRAM usage when it crashes. I ran a stress test with MSI Afterburner and everything was fine. The only thing that has changed in my system since the last time I used Daz was I updated to Windows 11. So far I've tried rebooting, updating GPU driver, updated Daz to 4.22, uninstalled and reinstalled Daz, dusting inside the PC and GPU, pushing the GPU to make sure it is fully seated in the PCIe slot. Nothing has made a difference. Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening? I got the GPU over the summer from Newegg and it shipped from some company in China so maybe they were mining with it but I've rendered with it before and it's been fine.

 

Edit: forgot to list specs. Ryzen 9 5950X, 32GB RAM, ASUS RTX 3080 ti

I saw that but I think my problem is different especially because it started when I was still using version 4.21. Also they are having the program crash, I'm having my entire GPU crash causing black screens and fans being set to full speed.

Unfortunately this time, the issue ended up being hardware. My VRAM was overheating probably because of faulty thermal pads. My best bet is the previous owner used it for mining and they put new thermal paste on the die before selling it off as "refurbished" and they probably screwed up the thermal pads when they did that. Gotta send it off for RMA sadly.
