one Node constantly crashes

Deadline

Hi,
on one of our workstations I get this error after the node starts on a job. All other nodes and workstations render the job fine. Even the other workstations with the exact same config.

Any hints what might cause this?

Hello Florian,

Can you share the launcher log, as it almost looks like the slave is getting a shutdown command.

+1 for the shutdown command being the culprit. Maybe Pulse is doing some Slave scheduling on this guy. That log might be helpful if applicable.
