Hi Everyone,
For some reason, my Rhino 8 trial version crashes whenever I select the Raytraced display mode, causing my PC to restart. All of the other display modes work fine. Below is a screenshot of the OpenGL settings under Tools/Options/View within Rhino 8:
Any help much appreciated.
This is typically one of two problems:
I’d start by verifying that your PSU can give the power needed for your system under full load.
I might have a related problem.
I updated Rhino today.
Rhino crashes when I click on the render window. The app is unresponsive for a second or so then Rhino just goes away.
I found this on my desktop after a system restart:

Your Nvidia drivers are massively out of date, and I think even predate the soft launch of Rhino 8.
I’d try and update those first.
Indeed you need drivers from this year, old as yours tend to crash Rhino. The crash happens somewhere in Windows libraries, but it takes apparently Rhino down too.
The latest for your RTX A6000 is Driver Details | NVIDIA. When you start do a custom/advanced installation and make sure you check the Clean Installation box.
I know for a fact Rhino works with the RTX A6000. I use one as well.
Anyway, your issues is different @jmcauley , since your machine doesn’t reboot on switching to Raytraced.
As far as the PSU goes, I think I’m pretty much stuck with the 300W power brick that came with my midi workstation. Luckily, I can run Maverick Render fine from within Rhino, so it’s not a total loss. Thanks for your help.
The A5000 is rated for up to 230W by itself.
So far the only suitable alternative I’ve been able to find is the SlimQ Gaming Laptop power charger rated at 500W (20V/25A), but it hasn’t been released yet, as it is still under development.
Oh the A5000 LAPTOP, it’s quite different, it’s only 150W.
