Blender still causes a bluescreen when it runs out of VRAM

[kode54]

https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Complex-Blender-scene-crashes-with-bluescreen/td-p/1442149 This topic would not let me reply to it, so I am starting a new one. I installed the new drivers. Same bluescreen error, except this time, my monitors powered off completely for the duration of the memory dump and did not power on again until the system rebooted. Clearly Microsoft Edge does not function on this web site, because I can't use the Browse button for posting attachments, either. I can't drag attachments onto the page either, so I will upload all attachments to my personal storage. https://f.losno.co/intel_report_20230105.txt I have also compressed and uploaded the memory dump from the bluescreen, but would feel safer emailing or DMing that to someone at Intel directly.

Yeah, sorry about that. I will still accept forum support. I simply found out the hard way that the forum scripts don't work too well with my Microsoft Edge configuration, but they work just fine with my Mozilla Firefox setup. I'd be happy to continue on the forum if that's okay.

Regarding this issue, I have swapped the A750 for an A770, and the scene renders just fine now. I found this out the hard way as well, that scene pushes my VRAM usage up to 14GB, so clearly it's a very VRAM heavy scene. But still, it would be nice if the out of memory event caused by Blender would simply fail gracefully instead of causing a driver exception or worse that leads to a blue screen error.

I'll continue any further feedback in the other topic, since that seems to be open still. Feel free to close this duplicate.
