The only time I have seen this is when the file got corrupted from the source.

Updating to a later SP may help.
Is your all your physical RAM being recognised?

All RAM is being recongnised.
Each time when I try to open a large file, it takes for ever to open or the computer freezes.

What are your VM settings?
Are you having problems with larger native SW files, (non STP or IGS) ?

Are you opening the STP/IGS files locally or over a network?

Does Hyper-threading hurt my performance?
RE: SW cant Convert stp and igs files.
You will need to boot into the BIOS to "de-activate/activate" it.

Maybe someone else with SW05-SP0 will try to open it for comparison. I will try with SW06-SP4.1.
Also can you get the same file in Parasolid format. You might have better luck with that.

When you try to open/convert the STEP file does SolidWorks crash? If I remember correctly when I was on SP0.0, I had a problem when I try to open a STEP file that SolidWorks would always crash. I had our VAR come in and there was bug with SP0.0. They sent the file to SolidWorks and it was fixed in SP1.0 or SP2.0 as I recall. Hope this helps.

2) if you are running out of RAM then you need more RAM.
3) You need to set your VM to 1500 for both Min and Max.
4) SP0.0 was the first SP out... the only way you are going to be able to tell if its the SP or not is to test it on a machine that is using a later SP. if it opens there then its a SP issue and you will have to upgrade... The one advantage you have here is that if there is a bug in the SP that is keeping you from doing your work. Your VAR has to give you the SP that fixes the issue for you. However since SW07 is now out, they may not have too... because I think that only works if you find it with the latest or the version previous. SW05 is 3 versions ago and is not supported anymore by your VAR or by SW, because its time to upgrade.
Good luck!
