nico_venster Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Every now and again my houdini apprentice crashes with the "display driver stopped responding and has recovered" error appearing afterwards. I downloaded the latest Houdini apprentice and re-installed it more than once after seeing some old (2011-2012) posts on this subject on a couple sites. The strange thing is it crashes mainly when I do pyro sims but also when I'm doing non-intensive stuff to (basic SOP stuff). Does anyone have any advice on this subject please? PC specs: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit AMD Phenom II 3.4 Ghz 32 Gb RAM Radeon HD 5800 with 750mb RAM of which I also have and installed the latest drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks to be a windows issue, so it's likely something to do with your graphics card or graphics driver version. https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/kb/2665946 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atom Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Also some info here on this issue. https://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_forum&Itemid=172&page=viewtopic&t=41371&highlight=tdrlevel If you just set the TDR Delay you are kind of guessing on the timing, I simply disabled the entire TDR by setting the level to 0.

nico_venster Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Thanks Atom, as I tried the previous link (and solutions) and being sadly unsuccessful I'll give this a read and go thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebkaine Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) I get the exact same error on windows 10. From my test this is a ram issue, whatever context you use if houdini has fill all your ram , you get this error. That would be interesting to know if linux handle memory saturation in a better way ?
