Hey everyone, I hope you’re all doing well.

​First, I want to apologize for not having the update ready on time. My PC has been acting up since February, and it’s making development nearly impossible right now.

​Whenever I try to perform a GPU-heavy task—like rendering a scene—the GPU shuts down and my monitor immediately goes into "Power Saving Mode." I’ve spent the last month trying to track down the cause. I’ve tested the GPU in different slots, had my hardware checked by the shop, and even had an electrician look at the wiring in my room.

​I’ve even tried replacing my old VGA-to-HDMI adapter with a proper DisplayPort cable and used an air blower to keep everything spotless, but the issue persists (ignore the dust in this pic though). I’ve been constantly reseating the GPU (and even made a DIY sag bracket out of an ointment box and tape!) and resetting the CMOS battery just to keep things running. It’s a frustrating process, as even a single render can trigger a crash. I’m actually reseating the card again as I write this from my phone.

​Have any of you dealt with weird hardware glitches or "ghosts in the machine" like this before? It’s been a massive headache trying to pinpoint the culprit.

​I’m doing everything I can to solve this so I can get back to work as soon as possible. Thank you so much for sticking with me while I figure this out!
