Short description of error

Please:

  • Give us your exact Blender, OS and GPU (including drivers) versions, as requested in the template!
  • Ensure both your OS and drivers are fully up-to-date (and use official GPU drivers, not those provided by windows or tablet/laptop maker).
  • Try to disable any running antivirus.
  • Ensure you have no python executable available in your %path% envvar.
  • Try to re-download and re-install Blender.
  • Try the latest build from our buildbot.
  • Try to start Blender in factory settings (--factory-startup commandline option) (this will ensure whether this is a userpref or addon issue or not).
  • Try to tweak your GPU driver settings (e.g. try different values between 'performance' and 'quality' if you have such slider, etc.).
  • Launch Blender from the command line with -d option and attach as text file here any error printed out in the console (do not paste it directly in comment).
  • Try to place this dll next to your blender.exe (software OGL, will be slow, but will show whether this is a driver issue or not).

for me is happpenig like this too.

my graphic memory is 256MB and 2gb of RAM.

Same problem. Blender work normal, but crash only with one project, other projects load normal.
Try all methods in this topic. Try append objects from old project to new project. It was success, except some objects. This objects crash belnder with "Error: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION"

How i can take "problem" objects from project?

@CHET (cheteron) please create a new bug report.

Also provide a small and simple .blend and/or other files to do so if needed. Try isolating the specific blend that crashes. Try an older release of blender and see if the file crashes there.
