Dell M90 FX2500 and 2009 sp2.1

Hi

Is anyone else having 7~8 crashes daily using 2009 sp2.1? Most ofmy crashes relate to in-context modelling of sheet metal parts. I'mnot working in large assemblies (less than 250) and nothing is verycomplicated extruded cuts and edge flanges mainly.

I've only had one repeatable crash which I sent an RX for off to myVAR who in turn sent it to Solidworks, who said they could repeatthe crash in sp2 and they tried it in sp3 and it didn't show sothat will be the fix. (I'll believe it when I see it)

I've done all the normal VAR bug fixing stuff i.e. my graphicsdriver is correct, reinstalled the driver following a driveruninstall, tried it in software open gl mode, I'm running with outAV turned on.

Is anyone running a different graphics driver to that recommendedand having a stable experience?

Is there anything else I could try? Is it worth dropping a new harddrive in and fresh install of windows?

I'm fed up of worrying it's all going to fall apart with the nextcommand.

I know its a few years old but I'm guess there are loads of M90'sout there running 2009?

(As a side note my M90 wouldn't turn on about four months ago andDell ended up replacing the processor, motherboard, graphics cardand RAM to fix the problem all under warranty.)

Thanks
