Maya 2012 Trial x64 bit constant crashing
For the last 27 days or so, I have been trying out Maya 2012. It is a great program but the only problem I have with it is that ever since day 1 the program has been crashing constantly. At first I thought it was me because I was completely new with it so I gave it the benefit of the doubt. It came to the point where Maya would crash 4-5 times (not exaggerating) during a 2-3 hour session. The reasons were not consistent, once would be because I apply an Insert Edge Loop, another time would be creating new polygon. Sometimes it would be considerably reasonable reason like me messing around with offset, which was fair enough.
It is now day 27-28 and it is still happening, so I thought I might look around for some fixes as I am very much interested in buying this program, but clearly I do not want to get it if it can't even sustain a 15 minutes without crashing.
