DS 4.9 crashed after about 9 hours. Is the render floating around if I haven't reopened it?

So, I have an iRAY render with a mirror that looked onto a highly reflective piece of glass, which I suspect was driving iRAY nuts, because before I put that mirror in place, the render completed in about 30 minutes or less. Anyway, I ALMOST asked it to stop after I got home from work, but it was around 93% and looked amazing, so I figured why not let it complete. When I got back from dinner, it had crashed. Is there a temporary copy of that render that I can find on my computer some place? This is on my windows computer, which I'm pretty much ignorant about (I'm a mac person, and only begrudgingly got a windows computer for rendering...) If it exists, does anyone know where I can find it? I really would have to have wasted so many hours of that computers life.

    Found it! C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3d\Studio4\Temp\render

    PHEW!

    I don't think I've ever had DS crash, except when I was trying to use a product that had whatever was causing them trouble with iRAY back in 4.8.

    There has been an issue with Nvidia GC drivers and DS crashing. It happened to me and others, there is a thread about it somewhere here. The latest update seems to have fixed it for me.

    Yeah when I have a cash I go straight to the Temp file to retrieve the render.

    OK. I did the update. I used to be a windows tech nut, but I got tired of messing with that stuff and switched to mac (only to be forced back to windows for a machine with an nvidia card...grumble grumble), so I probably am suffering through silly stuff unnecessarily, but my nVidia driver update played lots of advertisements! How nice of them to spam me to fix their bugs, lol.

    Thanks for the tip, Szark! I had noticed that there was an update, but after installing the one that had been reported as really bad and shuffling to install the beta version that was supposed to fix that, I ignored the last one thinking it was wisest to give them a week or two to beta test them on the rest of the world first;) I guess that isn't always the best approach.

    One of the first things I did was move that temp folder to a faster, emptier drive and kept the path/filename short and simple.
