Post diagnosis.

Well, after the Next Limit guys checked out the PC, another check render with Rayscaper. Slowly getting to grips with this but much to learn still.

I 'borrowed the Thea benchmark tool to analise my set up:-

I get the feeling that the final render score is not that good, no idea if/where bottlenecks are though.

Try running Cinebench to get a value you can compare with other devices

Ta, Rich. I downloaded the Thea render "Detailed Interior" scene to test and frankly the textures vanish once added to a surface. I think I must be on some seriously goo/bad acid drops, probably the green/lime ones.......

That error is completely weird because a 3080 has 10GB of VRAM
Your machine is the most delicate device I've encountered. I'd never shop wherever you got that again. Unless you like to feel punished?
It has enough grunt to render relatively fast. Not blazing fast but definitely not hours and hours for straight forward interior scenes.
I don't think the issue is you. I think the device might be suffering from little gremlins or there some software trying mange things when you should just be able work away.

The pc shut down just after re running that test. Will not boot at all, shows the chillblast splash screen and freezes.
Luckily enough the old pc which also would not boot, did.
Ordered asda bits so did A job.
No rendering until chillblast get their fingers out.

Attached the monitor to the onboard graphics outlet and the pc booted without issues. For me this suyggests a graphic card issue, any other idea's?
