Have you tried switching off final gather all together and then rendering and seeing if it crashes?

yeh I just did that. it renders about half the image (tho its all dark, might be because its only lit with the HDR?) and then stops. I still get the mental ray out of memory warning and it stops

hey did a full AO render of the current set up. some things to change on the mixer are the weird edges that i mentioned before, the dials on the right need to be spread out a bit more and some basic detail like screws etc
