GPU crashing
GPU crashing
When my child attempts to export a video in Blender, the program terminates abruptly. It functions properly on another user's machine. Stress testing revealed the GPU would fail after several minutes. Removing the GPU from a friend's setup caused similar crashes on their system, suggesting it's not a hardware issue. Swapping the hard drive and RAM didn't alter the outcome. Power supply appears stable during testing, so we didn't suspect a PSU failure. It was advised to replace the motherboard and install DDR5 RAM simultaneously, but the problem persists. I'm uncertain whether to prioritize purchasing a new power supply or focusing on the CPU, given it passed the stress test. GPU GeForce 4070TI

MSI offers several Z790 chipset motherboards. Could you share the model of your board? Also, which BIOS version are you running for it?
What is the type of RAM installed on your system?
You might attempt to uninstall all GPU drivers (Intel, AMD, Nvidia) using DDU in Safe Mode, then install the newest driver from Nvidia's support site. Open the installer, right-click and select Run as Administrator.
It's an ATX LGA 1700 DDR5 motherboard. I need to confirm with him about the BIOS version he mentioned they updated, and they've already tried removing the drivers and reinstalling. The RAM is Vengeance 2x16 at 6400 MHz.
He is using a specific version of Blender, which is currently 3.6.1. He mentioned that running the older version improves plugin compatibility and performance. He also noted that features like Eevee Next and ray tracing are now included in Blender 4.0. Additionally, he asked if his son has all the necessary plugins installed.
