simulation error

I need to cache out a pyro sim (explosion fire) that is 600 frames long. After about 450-550 frames the ROP-node crashes, saying:

 

File "C:/PROGRA~1/SIDEEF~1/HOUDIN~1.447/houdini/python2.7libs\hou.py", line 54685, in render
    return _hou.RopNode_render(*args, **kwargs)
hou.OperationFailed: The attempted operation failed.
Error:       Failed to save output to file "Z:/wtm/shots/explosions/caches/houdini/explosionC/004/explosionC.0478.bgeo.gz".

 

I tried on different computers, caching to different locations including caching to the local hard-drive. I dont think its a disk-issue. The error randomly occurs between frame 450 and 550. There's enough RAM (24GB) and taskmanager is not saying its used close to max.

 

- I had "save retires" to 0 (default). Should I increase that?

- I am compressing the files to .bgeo.gz at writing. Should I try without compression?

- anything else I could try?

 

 

Thanks a lot!
