Hi guys .
So, quite a while ago I posted shortly about how I've been experiencing GPU hangs (it seems like), and just now, I've had one, most likely the longest that I've had.
So, this didn't happen on its own, I most likely tortured my pc (laptop), so, I'm trying to voxelized my scene, great. But there's this weird thing about when the window being rendered to isn't the top window, and it's still rendering, my pc gets horribly slow, but I'm always able to shut it down and continue, but not this time. So, the scene was voxelized (I hope), but, then I literally couldn't do anything, and the window was not the top window. My mouse was movable, for some few seconds, then when I right clicked 2-4 times, even the mouse stopped moving and so did the sound ( Some music in the background ).
The Hdd led and power were still working fine, pc didn't stop working, no weird noises, no BSODs (Thanks god), just froze. I waited maybe 10-15 minutes, doing something else meanwhile, and it was still in this state, so, I turned it off and restarted. And, for now, it seems to work fine (I'm writing on it right now )
As the components still seemed to work, the hdd led blinking and stuff, I guess it's the GPU that hangs, as in the beginning the sound was still playing, but the screen frozen. This usually happens when I'm trying something new which turns out to be a terrible idea, like trying to render huge chunks of data.
I'm not sure what I'm really asking about, but, It's going out of hand now...
Does any of you have the same issues?
Any workarounds?
Is this a GPU hang (If you have enough information)?
Could this be a bad GPU?
What 'could' be causing this?
Thanks, as always!
