I have just rendered the same avatar animation without the scene as image sequence of dancing and it rendered without any problem for over 600 frames.

So there is some issue with my scene itself, even though it is not using over 4.5GB of VRAM while rendering.

I am uploading screenshots of iclone visual settings, could any of these be causing the crash, because I am new to iclone, I might be overextending few settings.

What's in the scene?  Are you using any PopVideo?  

You may just have to start deleting things until you find something that it just doesn't like.

No Pop video yet.

I might have to try deleting stuff one by one and test. I am sending you PM with the link to the file.

It's not the scene -- it renders just fine for me (I can't render it with the avatar since I don't own it).

So it's your computer somewhere.

Ok I am cleaning my computer and removing all unwanted applications and then will try again.

You might also run diskcheck utilities -- something smelled fishy to me in the first place when you said the render corrupted your boot drive.  That really can't happen -- nothing iClone could do would ever do that.  However, if a disk has issues and iClone is trying to write to some bad sectors that might be an issue.

It could be as simple as you need a new boot drive (if it's older than a year or two that's the likely possibility -- disk drives will ALWAYS fail, it's only a matter of time).

Yes i just got this BSOD this time  Kernel Data Inpage Error. Computer restarted fine but I am going to check RAM and disk for bad sectors.

Windows keeps extensive event logs. You can access them using the Event Viewer.  No telling what you might find in there. ;)

Nope after 2 and a half hour of disk check and repairing it is still crashing.
I noticed something odd - Iclone is capped at 4.5 G of VRAM. It is using .2 GB of virtual memory instead of using additional vram from the GPU.

Maybe that is why the system is crashing and giving memory error, the first app to crash is the real illusion hub app. This time the rendering finished but once I closed iclone, every other app crashed giving memory error c0000000e and on restart, it went to recovery again.

How do I make sure that Iclone can use at least 7GB of VRAM instead of just 4.5GB?

I am rendering a very heavy scene in blender which is installed in the same drive and saving in the same folder and there are no crashes.
I believe the problem is with iclone in some way. Maybe the VRAM capping at 4.5 GB is the problem.
I am going to disable GI thus reduce VRAM and then try to render.
