iRay restart from iteration 1

Hi ! I got a problem with iRay rendering engine. With some scenes (not all) Iray restart from scratch after some time (randomly it seems).

Here's the log  :

It appears to happen when I do something else on my computer, like switching windows or tabs, but I can't find any consistency about it. Some scenes that are bigger (in term of memory usage) don't cause this. And I don't do anything too demanding anyway, it's like watching Youtube videos or listening to podcast, browsing internet etc ...

What can I do about it ? I only have one PC, some renders take a long long time, and doing nothing at all on my computer is problematic ^^

Here's my hardware :

i7 7700k

16 Go Ram

500 Go SSD

Nvidia GTX 970

 

Thanks !
