This issue has manifested itself randomly over the past couple days and I cannot find the issue.
All of a sudden, whenever rendering with the Arnold Live renderer, between a few seconds to a few minutes, my PC will freeze, and I have to hard reset it, there is no other way to regain control. This happens in both a old and a new project, with a few cubes or a dense scene. I've checked temps and load, and nothing looks out of the ordinary. I've noticed the CPU hitting 100% but that's fine normally, and memory never hits 100% load. Again, everything was working perfectly fine the other day, and now this suddenly starts happening basically every time I want to render anything.
Nothing bad is showing in the Event Viewer. Speccy is showing normal temps.
Fixes I've tried include:
- Updating to the most recent Maya 2017 patch
- Limiting the amount of cores Maya can use.
- Using other renderers. mtoa is the only one that causes this.
If anyone can help with the issue, please do!
