I've been trying to render one of OCDdougs scenes at a 6K-res (so I can print it as poster and hang it on my wall). OCDdoug used a light-dome in the image and that's why we decided that I should render the image myself. He was kind enough to share he scenefile with me and now I've been trying to render it for the past few days. The only problem is that bryce keeps chrashing. First the image rendered for nearly 2 days and then at about 46% the computer just froze. No rendering, not even mouse movement or CTRL-ALT-DEL menu. So I restarted the render, but at 25% it froze again. Same problem. The third time same thing this time at 17%. The fourth time it crashed after just 2 rows. Does anyone know why this could happen? I thought it be the high temperature in my bedroom? Could my system just get overheated and crash as a result of that? Or is it probably something different. I've already done a system-check and even did a defrag (took almost a whole day), but bryce still crashes.
