Title: Corona 1.7 + 3DsMax 2017 crashing (AMD Ryzen)
Post by: kejtrin on 2017-07-20, 14:33:14

Hi everybody,

I am struggling with 3DsMax crashing almost always while rendering, some times immediately after render start, sometimes after a while... Sometimes it ends with BSoD.

My setup:
AMD Ryzen 7 1800X 3.60 GHz, 32 GB RAM, Windows 10, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, 3DsMax 2017, Corona 1.7 Daily Build 10 July 2017

Any ideas? Thank you :-)

Please try this solution first and let me know if it helps: https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/12000015667
Also, if you mean DSoD, then Corona cannot cause blue screens. They can be triggered by hardware or driver errors. Is your Ryzen overclocked?

Yeah, I followed step 3 - removing these files and it seems to work fine :-) I only had to restart computer after removing, that was not mentioned in the tutorial, but nevermind... And yes, I mean blue screen and I know it is not Corona fault, but I mentioned it just to be sure I have two different issues. The CPU is not overclocked... Maybe - after all possible updates I've done - I have to update BIOS too... Thanks for help, Maru!

As the article notes though, this is only for Corona 7 and older, you didn't mention which version of Corona you are using, so if it is 8 or newer, then go straight to raising the ticket as romullus mentions.
