Using windows 32 build 265a, I tried the latest from builder [blender.org](http://blender.org) (buildbot) but as soon as I click on dynamic topology blender instantly vanishes. like an on off switch.Just was curious if any one else had the same?:spin:

What are your system specs?  
Maybe you dont have enough vram or ram for your computer to handle dyntopo.
