SolidWorks Render crashes 9 out of 10 times

Can anyone here help me out? I posted in the CAD subforum, but it seems those guys aren't very hardware oriented.

Could it be video card related ? try different or newer drivers

As far as I know rendering doesnt use the gpu at all. While rendering all cores and threads are at 100% load though.

you'll have to enable openGL render for CUDA I think for it to use you gpu.

Anyone else have any ideas as to why this is happening? I currently have to finish modeling at home and take my files to school to render them there. Pc is very solid otherwise. What could cause these crashes?

So after turning off my xmp and running the memory at what the board recognizes it, which is 1333 at under 1.5v my renders no longer crash... I would love to be able to run my memory at its rated speeds but dont know whats causing the instability...
