    What other processes are running on your computer at the time of render? Are you networked and pulling any materials from a server versus your desktop/local machine?

    Maybe an extra light was added or the render settings slightly changed enough?

    That’s probably frustrating!

    Yes, well completely shutting down and restarting will point to that if it is the issue. Not just logging out or switching users, but shutting down.

    There are many temp-caches in an OS whether Windows or Mac that are not always available besides through command-line coding and even then not easily but shutting down wipes all temp caches completely.

    Maybe you had a software update for your video card?

    I’ve had something similar but restarting has fixed it in the past.
