Thank you everybody for your answers, I have been messing around these days and finally I solved it, the solution? Clean installation of windows 8.1 + driver updates for all the components (BIOS included). Im not sure about the cause of the problem, maybe some problematic drivers, who knows... Now everything seems to run smoothly, no freezes, no black screens! Thx and happy renderings!

Hi Zdravko, CPU Rendering Windows 7 x64 Ultimate Memory limit at 14000MB (also tried 6000MB and 12000MB) The temperatures seems to be perfect, 40ºC more or less while rendering (Noctua NH-D14 Cooler) I was wondering if it is something wrong with some voltages, by activating the TPU switch in the motherboard the system seems to be stable, last night rendered one test scene without freezes and crashes ¿?¿?

Hello everybody, recently I armed a new workstation and Im having serious problems when rendenring my scenes (3DS Max 2012 + Vray 2.1), the NVIDIA drivers seems to be so unstable that it is impossible to complete a render, after several NVIDIA drivers crashes (with black screens), the computer gets totally freezed and I have to reset it manually. The unic solution I have found is to uninstall de nvidia drivers before rendering each image, what in fact it cannot be a final solution. My config (nothing overclocked): MB:Asus p9X79 pro CPU:i7 4930k RAM:16GB G.Skill DDR3 Ares Series 2400Mhz GPU:EVGA NVIDIA GTX 770 4GB SC PSU:Corsair AX860i 80Plus Platinum I also tried installing old NVIDIA drivers and also render with 3DS Max 2014, still getting same crashes and freezes... I was wondering if somebody else have had this problems or its only me and I have a defective GPU or something... Should I opt for another GPU? Thank you very much in advance.
