I'm running maya 6.0. This problem started not to long ago but it seems whenever i start making a low poly model after awhile the farther along i get it start bogging down and freezing up. Eventually it gets to the point i can no longer work on the model becuase of performance issues. When i open the model Maya crashes.

This is very frusterating and i was wondering if anyone could give me a few pointers on why this may be happening.

Thanks in advance.
