system blocked after 2 hours of rendering

[skysurfer]

Hi all,
yesterday I was doing a kitchen rendering. After 2 hours of computation the rendering went done and the computer switched in stand-by.
Then I was unable to turn it on again.
The System was working but the monitor did't light again.
I could see the windows just a little bit but the monitor was really dark.

Could be linked with Vray? It was the only application running.

I'll try it again and then I'll inform you.

Thanks Riccardo

Re: system blocked after 2 hours of rendering

I really can't tell, but its not a really good idea to have the computer go to sleep in the middle of the rendering. I've found that the process of putting a computer to sleep (and hibernating) is fairly unstable when any program is actually running. Its much better when a computer is just in a resting state with no applications actually sending processing requests. I'm sure you didn't intend for it to go to sleep, but I don't think it was designed to be used mid calculation
