Hi everyone,
I'm really struggling as my PC has been running extremely slow for my 3Ds Max software over the past four months. I'm working on multiple files, with the biggest one being 150mb. It's not just about rendering; it's about modifying textures and other elements, and the program keeps freezing. The same issue appears when using Sketchup too. All these applications are installed on an SSD drive. Occasionally, I also get notifications about Nvidia drivers crashing and then recovering. Anyone have any suggestions or solutions? Could it be that my hardware isn't compatible well together? Is there anything I can do to improve performance and avoid getting stuck every five minutes?
Here are my system details:
Windows 10 Pro 64bit
Zalman H1 Case
MSI X99A Gaming Pro Moderboard
Nvidia M5000 Quadro
Intel i7-6950X
64GB Hyperx DDR4
Samsung SSD 850 PRO 256GB Drive
2TB Hard Drive
Zalman GVM 850 Power Supply
Thanks in advance for your help.

Restart the process of installing the video card drivers. Ensure you obtain a fresh version from the website. During installation, look for an option to delete the previous driver before installing the new one.

Hi,
Thanks. I've already tried that. I even reinstalled Windows.
Any other suggestions?

Run a stress test to verify if CPU and GPU temperatures remain within acceptable ranges.

I'll attempt that; I believe your PC has successfully completed a stress test.
Are there any other suggestions you'd like to consider?

I'll ask a different question - what PC spec would you suggest for best results & performance in modeling & rendering with 3dsmax and vray?

I'd like to ask another question — what PC specifications would you recommend for optimal performance in modeling and rendering with 3dsmax and VRAY? Based on the details you shared, it seems you already have a solid setup for a rendering workstation. Assuming everything functions properly, all components should work well together. You might want to check if your motherboard's BIOS is up to date, as this CPU was released after the X99 boards were introduced. Also, verify that the BIOS settings are correct; sometimes enabling XMP for RAM manually can help stability. If you're not overclocking, consider reverting to default settings and testing. Just let me know if you need further guidance.
