HELP!! Alarm sounding when Rendering in V12 Pro

Denicio wrote on 11/16/2014, 10:07 AM
Guys I am a LOOOONG time Vegas user. In all my years I have never experienced this problem.

During editing I get the occasional beep from my computer. A few times when scrubbing the program crashes. So I am saving early and often. But NOW when I start to render a multi camera shoot after about 60 seconds my built in computer alarm chirps a few times then it starts to sound off with no stops. Just the whole time its rendering.

According to CoreTemp my temps are ranging 65-72C but nothing higher than 74C.
According to the task manager all my cores are working during rendering (working their arse off, mind you).

I've got a gigabyte UD5H Motherboard with an Intel quad core CPU. The computer is less than a year old and built with some of the latest guts.

I've tried digging around in prefs to see what possible things were lurking there. I notice in the VIDEO tap the GPU acceleration choosing my video card. Is this normal? The only other option there is off. I also see that the max number of rendering threads is 16.

What am I missing? Any thoughts as to what could be causing my computer alarm to be sounding during render?

HELP!!!

Dennis

To me it sounds like unstable power supply either from your wall outlet or your PC's power supply.

Is there a build up of dust bunnies around the fan area that is causing the machine to run a little hot?

No dust bunnies. I keep my computer pretty clean. I have my computer on a monster power conditioner so I can see what kind of power I am getting.

Any other thoughts?

It could still be your PSU.

My power supply in my computer is one of those massive Kingwin supplies.

When I work in audio in Cubase (main use for this computer) at super high track counts and heavy VSTi loads I don't have this issue, seems to be isolated to Vegas.

Old Smoke, how can I test to see if its my PSU?

This is the PSU I have.

Well, the link is fine but doesn't really help much. A) we don't know what else you have in your system, there are no system specs and B) even the best PSU can fail.
Also "gigabyte UD5H Motherboard" doesn't really mean anything; is it a 87, 77, 97 chipset?

Well, to fast forward to the last hour. I had a tech buddy unbeknownst to me tweak a setting in my bios to sound the alarm at certain temps (60C). He suggested raising the temp to 80C to see what happened. The alarm no longer sounds.
I am now looking into a better cooling system for my CPU.

Thanks all for helping!

Well, sometimes it's just as simple as that.

I would try and keep the CPU temps below 70C, even at load. What kind of CPU and cooling do you have at the moment?

In BIOS you should be able to lower the cpu voltage by 10% and the clock speed by about 5% This will reduce the heat from the cpu by about 20%.
This will help whilst you sort out a new cooler.

Save your current BIOS settings first so you have a fall back position.

I've done this on a couple of machines to drop the temperature whilst running a long render.

The above solution works well but my next pc will be water cooled..
