Rhino/Grasshopper forcing Computer Restart

Grasshopper
1

Lately, when running some grasshopper scripts, it shuts down and restarts my computer (once it even caused both rhino & gh files to revert to a much earlier state despite saving), and I don’t know why. The scripts aren’t egregiously heavy and my computer is pretty robust, but I’m not very computer savvy so I don’t know if it could be a hardware issue instead (though it seems restricted to rhino/gh). Anybody else having this problem or suggestions for how to determine cause?

Running
Rhino 7
Windows 10
Intel i9-9920x
X299 Designare motherboard
Corsair Dominator Platinum (8x16 GB) DDR-4 CL 16 Memory
Samsung 970 evo 2TB SSD
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11GB
Corsair HX 1000 Platinum

Thanks,

Brian B

Hi -

I don’t know if that is intentional, but that sounds like the behavior is specifically related to a few Grasshopper files. If that is the case, please post such file.
Apart from that, when providing your system information, please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.

hi wim, thanks for the response.

i mean, maybe, but since gh is integrated in rhino 7 i wouldn’t know where the issue is. but the scripts that have caused crashes aren’t always related, but i’ll try to provide one later. for now the system info is:

Hi -

Thanks for the system info. You have a few none-default Rhino plug-ins but since it’s a Grasshopper definition that causes the reboot, those might be fine.
We’ll need a Grasshopper definition that reproduces the crash.

I had such cases rendering wence my cpu/GPU was clogged with dust…
if that helps. Renewed PC is much sturdier and cleaner… No more crashes…

helped to find the cause…
