hi like the title says my computer keeps on crashing when i use unity for more or less 5 minutes. i was following this tutorial ( Getting Started With Unity ) and after i created the terrain my computer crashed and kept on crashing 5 minutes into unity. I’ve used unity a couple of years ago with the same computer without a problem. I am able to use udk and render complex scenes with blender’s cycles which i think is much heavier than unity. since it is a laptop at first i thought my computer was overheating but i’ve felt it get much hotter than it does with unity. maybe it’s a problem with windows 8 because when i used windows 7 it ran fine.
If anyone has any suggestion or fix please let me know. thank you
PS I am planning on buying a desktop to do these things but it would be nice if i could practice until i get it
I think we need more information here. You say Unity is 'crashing your computer' - can you describe the sequence of events, giving us any details that might be helpful? When you say 'Unity', do you mean the unity editor, or a compiled game? Is the editor in play mode, or not? What are you doing when it happens? Etc. BTW, you can check out the Unity log file to see what was happening before Unity (or a Unity game) crashed. That would be very helpful for us to see. http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/LogFiles.html
– Julien-Lyngewell i tried redownloading and reinstalling unity but it didnt change anything. what happens is this: i turn on unity editor and follow the tutorial after im done texturing (sometimes before i start texturing) the computer shuts down (like when you hold the power button to 'force' a shutdown) there isn't anything else to say about it. i would like to post the file but its out put is to big for me to copy and paste here and im not able to attach it...
