Rc capture shuts down computer suddenly
What happens is that when starting reconstruction(after successfull alignment) computer shuts down immediately.
I render many animations on the GPU and use it extensively in my work, so I don't suspect it's my computers fault. Also, the shutdown happens immediately after running the operation, so I don't suspect overheat....
so far I wasn't able to gather any more info, since I don't know where to look for any log files regarding this...
The computation should be very easy for RC, since it is only a 20-camera rig, the scans are a single shot always.
I currently don't have an active license, but I tried to use the demo on a second machine I bought for the computations, since I want to buy license as soon as I've got things working in my rig.
the machine is a 6core Xeon + nvidia 980 Ti.

thanks for your replies guys.
Chris, you were right, it was a power supply issue - i have a PSU with capacity of 825W, which should be more than enought for the machine which basically has only 1processor, 2 hdds and the 250w gpu. The problem was probably that I converted 2 6-pin connectors to 8pins, now I left one and switched the other one 8pin which draws the power from 2 sata power connectors. Probably, the GPU has some meters on the 6-pin connectors, so even if there's no danger of overloading it, it switches off. The PSU has a connector for second CPU, it's a dell workstation, so probably that was done to reserve power for this secondary CPU....
