It used to bluescreen when the software crashed, but after a BIOS update it became more stable. Unfortunately, the software still crashes so frequently that I cannot effectively do my job on this computer. What I have tried:</P><UL><LI>Updating BIOS to latest version (stopped the blue screening and reduced crashes, but did not eliminate them)</LI><LI>Updating Windows (no discernible difference)</LI><LI>Running Memtest86 (passed!)</LI><LI>Running Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool (passed!)</LI><LI>Opening project in older version of Blender (3.6) (didn't make a difference)</LI><LI>Opening project on another computer (very laggy, but no software closure)</LI></UL><P>At this point, I am wondering if I can tune settings in my BIOS to improve stability.
