Hi there.

I’ve been using a student version of Maya 2012 64bit for a few weeks now, havn’t had any problems with it all. Until yesterday. I can start it, use it for like 2-5 minutes then my screen goes totally grey and my computer locks up, it doesnt restart itself, and it isnt a blue/black screen.
The only resort is to restart the computer by the reset button.

I have a pretty good PC, as I study game development, and myself play a lot games. I have no problems at all with other applications and 3D applications. As I said, i game a lot, and I can do so non-stop without any problems.
No problem with the GPU-temp either, it’s about 30 degrees c in idle, and in working with Maya about 35-40, otherwise in full load in games, its about 70.

I would really like some help here, so any answers would be useful. I have the latest drivers for my gpu, temps are fine and so on.
