The computers are running in an infinite while loop and respond to the os.pullEventRaw method (one constant event is when a turtle moves that it sends it's location, rotation and fuel back to the manager and this forces the screen to be re-draw). They still work and the turtles keep doing what they need to do (and what the managers command them) but I just can't see any information on screen anymore.
Also the wireless routers on top of the managers appear in the off-state even though they're in use.
I do have a couple other mods installed but none that would interfere with ComputerCraft, all my installed mods are
CodeChickenCore-1.8-1.0.5.36-universal
ComputerCraft1.76
fastleafdecay-1.8-1.5
InventoryTweaks-1.59-176
ironchest-1.8-6.0.99.749-universal
MapWriter-1.8-2.2.11
NotEnoughItems-1.8-1.0.5.104-universal
And I'm running the recommended version of Forge for Minecraft 1.8 (1.8-forge1.8-11.14.4.1536) via the Minecraft Launcher, my Minecraft instance has 8Gb of RAM allocated and I'm using the default texture pack.
Also on a side bug, the turtles often appear in a different orientation then they really are if they've been standing still for a while, once I open a turtle it fixes itself though

Edit
I just restarted Minecraft instead of just closing and reloading the world and it appears to be working fine now, the bug may still pop up in the future though.
