Fatal error - 64-bit & 12 GB RAM

[patricks]

Boss had his Revit 2010 x64 crash a couple of times last night. This is on a brand new Dell Precision box w/ Win7 Professional x64, 12GB RAM, and a 512MB nVIDIA Quadro FX580 graphics card.

Seriously?

I would think this kind of stuff would have been remedied by now. Latest machines and systems, LOADS of RAM, latest drivers, etc. etc. and this kind of junk still happens. :roll:

Dose he have the quick access tool bar at the top or below the ribbon. If it's set to below, you'll crash constantly. Just a thought.

FWIW I've got the QAT below the ribbon on Windows 7 64 bit and Revit has been very stable for ages.

I don't customise the ribbon or the qat however - they are just as standard.

I should have mentioned that I'm running 32 bit on XP and RS2010 crashed constantly when the QAT bar was below the "Wack-o-Mole" Ribbon. Moved it to the top, no more problems. I believe others have had the same issue and I believe that Adesk has logged it as kind of a "Know" issue, but I could be wrong. I think there's a few other threads here that mention the same solution.

Okay, boss's machine was crashing when he tried to print to our Xerox machine, which did not have the proper 64-bit printer driver installed, which I added after he had already set up his machine. Printer was deleted and re-installed and it seems to work fine.

I have also had my QAT below the ribbon in 7 and x64 and it was fine, just took up more screen real estate than I liked on my 1280x1024 display.

Well, boss had another crash, and this time it seems to be because our server suddenly dropped all connections for some reason. He had a Revit file on the server (not workshared) open, and apparently when trying to save w/o being connected to the server, Revit just crashed.

Has anyone else experienced this if trying to save a file stored on a server if the connection was lost?
