Did you run the mentalray diagnostics?

This is what I get in the render diagnostics.

MENTAL RAY RENDER DIAGNOSTICS:
// 0 warning
I'm not sure what any of this means really. I installed Maya 2014 to see if that would fix it, but it didn't.
Can somebody please help me clarify what the diagnostics say? Thanks.
P.S. I don't understand how it can be geometry problems. When I delete ALL of the geometry and objects from the scene completely, Mental Ray still crashes the program.
