Jeff, We have had the same issue with Pro/E, on both Unix and Intel platforms, WF2.0, previous versions and also WF4.0. We will be working and with no warning, we will get dropped out of Pro. I just got a new computer (M6400, had a M65) and was kicked out today when going to create a tiff image. It is not consistent, as I went back in and it was okay doing the exact same thing. Just save often and report problems to PTC is the best thing, but hard to reproduce sometimes especially this. Dennis

If other drivers dont help it may be a faulty memory bar. I once had one.

Thanks for your input we have tried various drivers without success. This memory bar you speak of. Is that what you plug the ram or graphics card into? if you bar went out did it crash with other programs?

It was computer memory (RAM). I ran a stresstest for some time and by pulling out the other bar I was able to identify the culprit.
