try it again but wait a little while for unity to import the assets this time.

I’m not trying to have a shot at you but it seems that you may be a little impatient when loading assets.
Unity does lock up while loading assets briefly especially if your processor is slow, old or already working hard (Running Maya, photoshop ect…)
So try waiting a minute or two before writing it off as software error. (I find most of my problems with user error the rest of my problems are Vista)
If it is actually killing Unity completely and giving you the bug reporter then It is likely your processor is giving up and you should probably try shutting down some of your unused background processes from the task manager. or saving your work in Maya, Photoshop ect… and closing those processes before importing new assets.

also low RAM and pagefile could be causing a massive slowdown though since you are able to run Maya And photoshop i doubt this is the case.

and i have shut the pc own restart a few times and

as in
1…you waited for unity to load the assets for nine hours then you gave up and closed unity?

or

2…you gave up and closed unity then tried again 9 hours later?

I am almost positive I know the problem unity does not accept a maya scene file. (the standard file type when you click save) maybe its called maya binary file or something.

Anyhow you need to enable the FBX exporter script and export the file as a .fbx
