Serious issue: Breaks my graphics card. Gets disabled with code 43.

[mzso]

Hi!

So I tried upgrading the renderer to the newews two days ago (0.8.1.2230). It immediately broke my graphics card (Asus DUAL-RX580-O4G). It got disabled by windows with code 43. And no matter what I did I couldn't get it to work again. I had to refresh Windows from ISO to get the graphics card working again. Then I tried 0.8.3.2255, which came out in the meanwhile. It also instantly broke the graphics card. At least this time I created a system restore point.

I can't imagine why it happens, but it's appalling. Never had an issue like this with any directshow filter or such. I can play videos happily with madVR.

PS: I have been using 0.7.0.2126 before. (Probably, that's the package I have from before 0.8.1.2230) I had no problems with this.

I think you have a driver or video card problem.

@v0lt The driver didn't change, I've been using it since last year. For a while I also suspected a video card problem. But with a fresh installation of windows it worked. It only breaks when I start using MPC video renderer in the player.

A DirectShow filter can not break your GPU. Nor can any other user-mode application.

It is hardware failure, driver bug, or Windows update bug.

@clsid2 Well, it was rendered non-functional. And it seems neither of the above. No Windows or driver updates happened for a long time, and the GPU still functions. In any way, it was triggered by using MPC VR, whatever way it happened.

Take out the GPU. Clean the fans. Clean the dust from rest of computer. Put back the GPU and make sure it is properly seated in its bracket.

Run some GPU stress tests.

A broken GPU can work fine most of the time until the part that is broken gets utilized.

The driver didn't change, I've been using it since last year.

The driver should not break due to exposure to the client application.

You can view the debug log and send it to AMD. https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer/wiki/View-debug-log

@mzso In the past I had one pc that has various crashes in the graphic driver, but after a lot of time I have discovered that the only problem was that the power supply isn't working well when "stressed" so changing it fixed everything. I'm not sure if it can be related to you but it is still a possibility.
