Daz Studio crashes when starting Iray Test Render

I'm thinking there's something wrong with my configuration, which is:

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1
Intel Core i5-4460 processor
16GB of DDR3 Ram

3 Nvidia cards:
GeForce GT 740 SC 4GB DDR3 (main card)
GeForce GT 740 4GB DDR5
GeForce GTX 960 SC 4GB DD5

Just built it and it works fine, until I launch Daz Studio 4.8 and try to render the SickleYield test file from the forums to see how fast it will render.

Daz Studio sees all the cores inside the rig, there is no SLI or Crossfire configured, just extra cards for more CUDA power. It will start this render and then Daz will crash. Nothing in the render log out of the ordinary.

Has anyone run into this sort of problem before?

    I did, but with a single, much smaller card. Back then, it crashed because I had a setting activated that did collide with the card's driver.

    What render settings are you using? Did you check all the cards? Have you activated OptiX?
    Also, are your card drivers up to date, and not conflicting with each other?

    All drivers for the video cards are up to date as far as I know. I did an update last night to them but I do remember I didn't do another update after I put the last card in. I had OptiX activated and the render settings were just at default. Just made sure that it rendered with GPU instead of CPU and that's it.

    If you try each card on its own, does it crash as well?

    I will do that test the moment I get home from work. Didn't try to isolate it like that. Thanks. I will post results.

    So apparently I need to run Windows updates. Everything works fine now. Renders that scene in 5 mins.

    So Windows was the culprit?
    Glad to hear that it's working now. :-)

    It would appear. I did seperate tests on each card, including the main 740 one. The two 740s rendered the scene in about 15 min apiece, the 960 did it in 6 mins. However, if I included all three, it rendered in 5 mins....the 960 was obviously doing the heavy work.
