2 quick points Elena.  Remember to turn on Progressive Save (set to save every few hundred samples), so it your card has issues, you'll still have a saved version of the render for reference.

Also, if version 1.02q of the plugin detects a graphics card issue, it will (attempt to) pause the render.  From there, you may be able to save the render.

From the Octane forums, issues like this are generally caused from overheating.  So winding the maxdepth back may work the cuda cores a little less :-)
