Crash - NX 3.0.2.3 MP5A / Sun Ultra 60
(OP)
It doesn't matter what I do, but NX (version in topic) consistently crashes.
Today, 2 times. Both while in the sketch function. Sometimes it can be while closing down a part, switching between drafting and modeling modes. Anything, nothing makes any sense.
It's a Ultra 60, about 400mhz, not quite 2 gigs of ram (ancient technology, I know). SunOS 5.8 generic_108528-09 sun4u spac SUNW,Ultra-60 (uname -a response).
Where I work they would rather the managers get new laptops each year then spend a few thousand on the designers to get new machines.
As for upgrading, the boss doesn't want to upgrade because we wouldn't be compliant with General Motors version.
Any suggestions or ideas?

A few of the errors would be bus errors, modeler errors, Bad size for allocation request in storage manager, memory access violations. Then it has progressed to just out right crashing. I see the usually pop ups, but they don't stick around long enough for me to read them. The crash resembles kill -9. You hear a beep, then the next second it's gone.
As far as anything being installed or upgraded, nope. Same since December. The OS hasn't been updated either.
We pretty much work on our own files. We get a few customer files but those are more for reference. All existing and brand new files.
Here is a syslog file

But I hardly work in shaded mode. It crashes in the middle of sketch, no model there at all.
I know if I select a component off in the assembly tree while in sketch, it will crash. But not kill the session, it just gives me an error and backs up on the undo tree. Now if I just blank the component with ctrl-b, no problems.
Anyways, I will definitely not work in shaded mode to avoid that. Thank you.

Everytime you try to do an extrusion or even revolved section, the instant you click on a line, NX crashes. Doesn't even report anything in the syslog file in /var/tmp.
Strange, very strange. Now to get this all rolled back to Mp5 will be fun, or possibly call GTAC not sure which way it'll go.

I don't know if this is the solution to your problem or not. We had simular problems and the fix was a new driver for the spaceball. Evedently, the space ball has been creating a number of problems lately.
Just a thought,
