Thanks, I'll try renaming my User folder. I have already stripped out
unnecesary plugins, but there are a few that I still need to use that
must be kept locally to my User directory.
I'll see what renaming does.

Hi
Support hasn't seen any trend in "general instability" cases for 2012.SAP.
I would suspect something specific to your situation.
That post is more about a startup crash.
Here's an intro to Process Monitor:
http://xsisupport.wordpress.com/2011/04/19/process-monitor-101/
You can try running Process Monitor to see what's going on.
Often I use it to look for conflicts (wrong DLLs, other apps, ...)
Do you get a chance to send a CER report?
Did runonce.bat report any errors?
Try renaming your User folder, so that you are running with the default
preferences and settings, and with no extra plugins or workgroups.
(User folder = C:\Users\blairs\Autodesk\Softimage_2013)
If you install anything in the Factory install folder (C:\Program
Files\Autodesk\Softimage2013), remove it.
There was a similar thread awhile ago:

Hi Adrian,
I had some similar issues a about a month ago. In my case this is what solved it. Turn
OFF "Threaded Optimization" in the Nvidia control panel (assuming you're using
Nvidia cards). This seemed to be causing all sorts of UI related crashes, especially
with render region and the rendertree.
Of course I have no idea if this is the same issue for you but it's worth a try.
Cheers - Len

how's everyone getting on with 2012 SAP?
just lately we seem to have hit a wall of crashes and scene corruption, and im
not sure whether this is caused by our new server, changed working practice or
general ropeyness in the software....
artists will be working on scenes, that seem fine, then out of the blue, when,
for example, opening a ppg, or a rendertree soft will hang, or just plain
disappear!
once this has happened the scene becomes practically unusable.... some respite
after blowing away the local user folder, but generally crippling to workflow
this is all on win7x64, wondering whether it's a windows update related
issue.....
driving me insane!

Thank you Xavier, I'll take a look at these.

I don't know what you've tried so far except runonce and the user's Autodesk
folder reset, but I would also suggest to remove all external
addons/plugins/workgroup (not provided with Soft), and see if you experience
the same crash. If you don't, then you know your problem lies somewhere in
there. Having a virgin Autodesk directory would be a good thing too, I've seen
crashes with custom UI Layout sometimes, even if they were not in use.
You could also try any equivalent of strace (linux) on windows ... I think
there's one. Might tell you at which point it's crashing.
