BSOD every time I open a project in D5 Render

D5 Render Version: 3.0.1
RTX 3080
Driver Version: 595.79

Every time I open a project in D5, I automatically get a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). I have already tried cleaning up temporary files, resetting the Nvidia Control Panel settings, and performing a clean driver installation using DDU, but nothing works

Hi @arq.aguilar.o

Can you please confirm if this issue occurs to a:

  • Specific file
  • Or it is also evident to all of your other D5 Files (even empty ones)
  • Were there any error codes that appeared every time a BSOD happens? * Any error code (e.g., IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL) from Windows

We may also need you to send the following images/information:

Possible workaround and solution:

  • Update your BIOS to its latest version

Hi @Clov! No, it’s not just one file, it happens with every file I open. At first, I’d get a BSOD only once in a while while working on a project, but now, as soon as I open a file, the blue screen pops up within 5 seconds :disappointed:

Before using DDU, Windows was giving me this error

After applying DDU, disabling windowed game optimizations, and capping the FPS at 60, I’m getting this one



Hi @arq.aguilar.o

Based on your setup (RTX 3080, 32GB RAM, Ryzen 7 5700G) and the CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED error occurring immediately upon opening D5 (even with an empty file), this suggests a system-level issue, most likely related to GPU drivers or a hardware conflict.

Please try the following:

  1. Clean reinstall GPU drivers (most important)
  • Use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to completely remove your current NVIDIA drivers (preferably in Safe Mode) - Since you have done this you may reinstall a stable version of your drivers.
  • Reinstall a stable driver version (not necessarily the latest try 1–2 versions older, or 566 version)

  1. Disable integrated graphics (important for Ryzen 7 5700G)

Your CPU has built-in graphics, which can conflict with your RTX 3080.


  1. Repair Windows system files
  • The error code suggests possible system file corruption.
  • Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:

sfc /scannow

Then:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth


  • If your system also randomly restarts under load, your PSU might be a factor. The RTX 3080 can have high power spikes, so ensure your PSU is sufficient and reliable.

Hi again @Clov!

  1. I’ve already done a clean driver reinstallation using DDU (twice), and it didn’t solve the issue. :disappointed:
  2. I also have integrated graphics disabled.
  3. I’ve also repaired the Windows image and even ran a disk check.

My PSU is a Corsair RM850x - 850W - Gold
