      I have been working on a file for a few days and sometime yesterday it started crashing.
      (Running 8.0.16846 on Windows 7 x64 - ususally pretty stable).

      As I worked, it would consistently crash (w/ bugsplat) every 5-10 minutes (it would rarely make it to the 10 min autosave mark).

      Bugsplats could happen with any operation - from closing a group, to scaling or moving a group.

      This is what I have already tried:
      -Clean, fix errors, and purge model.
      -Copy paste into new file.
      -Cut paste work done in the last few hours into a separate file (in case something there was corrupt and causing the problem).

      None of these things helped, which caused me to think it could be caused by one of the two plugins I installed yesterday: Vray 1.6 beta, and the update for the Plugin Store.

      I removed these two plugins by restoring my plugin folder from a backup, and I have now been working for about about 45min with no crashes.

      I guess my next step is to install the two plugins one at a time, and see which one is causing the problem.

      Have you guys had problems with any of the two mentioned plugins?

        V-Ray is known to cause stability issues.

        I keep it disabled (Window > Preferences > Extensions) until I need to render.
        I wrote a utility to let me quickly start VfS from a toolbar button when I need it for that session only: http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/v-ray-tools%C2%B2

          Thanks TT.
          I will install the Plugin Store again to just to be 100% sure it's Vray.

          And about V-Ray Tools, that's how I usually launch vray πŸ˜‰ , but yesterday I installed the latest vray beta 1.6.

            The beta is rather unstable.
            Probably the cause.

              If you download the latest version of V-Ray Tools from EW it will support the 1.6 beta.

                I moved everything back to the model and restored all my plugins except VRAY beta - the crashing stopped.
                Thanks for the suggestions.
                Case closed 😍

                  So far, RoundCorner seems the be the biggest crasher for me with VR 1.6. I just work with it disabled until they find the bug that's causing it. They are working on it feverishly.
