3ds max keeps crashing for no particular reason...

Got a strange issue with 3ds max, i'm just creating a block mesh, and I have only just started it so it is not high poly at all. But afew afew minutes max seems to just crash with no error report.

So far it's happened which I try to cut between 2 verts, and move an edge slightly, I can't see a link between the 2 actions which would cause it to crash, i'm doing nothing complex at all.

Alianware m11x
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

Software: 3ds max 2014 64 bit (Student Edition)

Download and install service pack 3 if you haven't yet.

You should get older version of 3dsmax since i think that your system just cant handle 2014 version.

Maybe you shouldn't overclock your laptop CPU. If I were you I would run memtest86 and Prime95 and see if you have a hardware or a thermal problem. It would probably be a good idea to try and save up for a different computer.
