SW 2007 SP4.0 Causes Computer Crash
(OP)
I just upgraded from SW 2007 SP2.1 to SP4.0 and my computer immediately started crashing. Using SolidWorks caused it to crash in a few seconds. Using other programs even caused it to crash in a few minutes.
Tech support recommended a complete unistall including all registry references. This didn't help. It still crashes no matter what program I use.
Everything worked well when I had SP2.1

Was the AV disabled during install?
How did you do the complete uninstall and registry clean?

The uninstall was performed through "Add & Remove Prgrams". I just went through and removed each package (i.e. SW, Cosmos, Edrawings, etc.).

FYI,
This is the third time I've attempted to write this response before my computer crashes.
Thanks for the responses.

Is there anyway to PERMANENTLY turn off McAfee for the installation ?
RE: SW 2007 SP4.0 Causes Computer Crash
Just using the "Add/Remove Programs" from the control panel will not remove all related components.

Then reboot. Restarting McAffee after installation of SW should reset the registry entry.

I am running it on a Dell Optiplex GX620
4 Giggs ram
Quadro FX Video Card
Intel Pentium 4 3.00 GH CPU
Trust me this system is not fast by any means but is within the specs for the software but still crashes. I installed the new driver yesterday and I will see how it goes. this has been going on for over a year now and they still can't figure it out unless this video driver does it. If it wasn't for this hangup and the fact that it runs slow we would probably have more systems running Solidworks in the office.
RE: SW 2007 SP4.0 Causes Computer Crash
Is all your RAM known to be good?
What types of files cause the crash? (Parts, assys, drawings, small, large, complex, simple)
Are Sweeps or Helixes involved?
Did you uninstall and install the video drivers correctly?
Have you tried all the suggested remedies listed above?
Are you using XP Pro (x32) with SP2?
