I'm not sure if someone has posted this or not. If so, I apologize.

I'm having a problem with Sl freezing completely. I THINK I have it narrowed down to when someone with prim heavy attachments is close to me. I could be completely wrong, but this seems to be the problem.

I've cleared the cache, both from "Prefs" and manually, and it seems to help for a while, but then will freeze again later.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

According to the NVIDIA site, I'm up to date with drivers (again, I could be wrong), so...

Any help?

Moved to Technical Issues.

Are you still having this, Mickey? Does it happen in any specific areas, or all over--particularly with someone with a lot of primmy attachments near you as you noticed? When did it start happening?

Also, if you would like, press CTRL-ALT-D to enable DEBUG menu (next to HELP at the top) and then select DEBUG menu > FAST TIMERS. You'll see a lot of colored bars. Check what the biggest numbers are on the left, or post a screenshot here when things get very slow for you, if at all possible.

You can always contact Support too.

Your crash log indicates a 5700 Go (notebook) graphics card. nVidia's drivers don't typically work on notebook chipsets. It's likely nVidia said that they did not have a newer driver available for your hardware, which is technically correct (they don't offer one at all).

The log indicates that all of your drivers are out of date; the Geforce driver is from 2004 and the other motherboard drivers are even older. I'd highly suggest visiting the website for your notebook manufacturer and getting the latest drivers they offer for your computer.
