Thank you for your response, I have uploaded the debug and system info but I am unable to locate the crash txt file - I tried manually searching for that file but the only .txt files in that location are the debug and system info - what I don't understand is that everything was working fine for a while yesterday then it suddenly started crashing for no obvious reason bar the memory being pushed to its max, thanks again Robert

I am a relatively new to Blender having come from Cinema 4D, was hoping to be able to switch to Blender but the constant crashing is non-productive and frustrating, I am trying to learn the software but it is somewhat impossible at this stage - I am using Cycles and have tried both CPU and GPU compute both with the same result
