Any tips on securing yourself from possible crash?

[kruszkush]

I got weird problem with my graphics card which gives blue screen, it is possible that card itself got hardware problem because nothing really worked here, but I don't want to get into that, let's assume it is physical thing and cannot be done right now.

I can get blue screen, it is very rare but just happened once while I was extracting one file, didn't lose much maybe 40 minutes as it was almost done. Saved nothing.

As I will be about to train it, is there any way to make it save every like 2 hours for example, is there any precauction setting I could apply? Any tips I might do? Thanks!

ps. Any tip for upside-down extraction? I get maybe like 5% of pictures upside-down or tilted 60 degrees

It does automatically save (by default) every 100 iterations and saves a backup snapshot every 25,000 iterations. You can freely change those to any numbers you want.

However, you should consider removing any factory applied overclock on your GPU as that is the cause for about 99% of crashes like you're seeing.
