Here is a good one for all you SolidWorks and computersleuths. I have SolidWorks open with 75k memory allocated accordingto Task Manager with no other programs open. If I click anything inthe SolidWorks menu bar (File, Edit, View, etc...) my computerfreezes, hard drive runs crazy like an out of control gerbil wheeland then stops...all is back to normal...3+ minutes later.
With Task Manager open, I noticed my SW memory use drop to 5k andthen slowly build back up to 75k. My memory use (or PF below CPUuse) in TM doesn't drop one bit. In some cases it actually goes upfrom 1.1GB to 1.20GB. During this 'freeze' time my virus detection(rtvscan.exe) ramps up double the size (this may be typical) untilwhatever is happening in the background stops.
Now this is a random problem and I haven't found what triggers thesequence of events. I have had my fair share of anomalies but thisone has me and the IT guy baffled. We've tried turning things on,off, changing the memory allocation size, removing software,add-ins, even went as far as reloading SW.
Just wanted to throw out the problem to see if anyone else cameacross the same thing or if they would share some insight of thingsI could try.
Specs: IBM IntelliStation M Pro, XP Pro x64 SP2, Intel 2.4GB DuoCore , 2GB Ram, 150GB hard drive with ample room (41GB), NVidia1500 with latest drivers, SW2008 SP5.0.
Thanks,
