Hi Guys,
First of all, I would like to say that I'm not sure this problem is caused by corona but hopefully someone can give me some insight. I have this machine for 5 months now and it worked perfect up until now.
A week ago my pc kept shutting down after a few hours of rendering. the pc was completely shut down and was not going back on when I pressed the power button, I needed to flick the main switch of the power supply to bring it back to life.
The guys from the pc shop who build the system thought it was caused by a faulty power supply, so we switched it to a new one - the result was the same problem occurring.
So the next step was a hardware test, the result was a faulty first gen RTX 2080ti, so we replaced it with a new one and tested rendering again overnight. Now the pc did not shut down anymore but after a few hours, the fan speed went to 100%, screens to black and not responsive at all. Again I needed to reboot with the main switch of the power supply.
After that, we replaced the CPU with a new one and all the RAM memory banks.
So basically we replaced almost the entire machine except for the motherboard, we did update the BIOS though to the latest version.
Hopefully, there is someone on this forum who has some experience with this kind of problems.
