			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Hmmm.... I do a fair amount of rendering and something I've noticed is that the computer can get quite hot.  Especially on a laptop, the chance for the computer to lock up and shut down because of a heat related issue is pretty good if the computer is not well ventilated.  Make sure that all the fans are clear of obstructions and the comp is propped up to let air flow under the laptop.    Give that a try and let us know!

[quote=Stan the Lego Man]Toshiba Satellite L675 with Windows 7 (64 Bit)[/quote]Well there's your problem, you're running on a laptop.

With only 2 cores on an i3 and 4 GB ram, you're not going to get a faster performance.  As for it just crashing, maybe it's a hardware issue.  If you haven't already, give Toshiba a call.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I'm not sure if this works with rendering, but it works with gaming and other programs I use. It sorta makes it run "better", it's kinda hard to explain, but whenever i use it, the program runs better. go CTRL+ALT+DEL and select task manager. Select the applications tab, right click on the program you want to work and stuff, and go to process. right click on the file that it goes to, and go Set priority > high > ok. It seems to work in my case:
  In Visual Basic 2010, I'd click on a tab that would allow me to browse other files, but the program would crash/close; so I do what I explained above, and I now have the ability to browse through what I wanted to see. I've tried a couples times with and without it, and the outcome is the same.
   Though, I've never had my entire computer crash, so I can't be sure on this one. Good luck!
