Hi I have been trying to get my head around blender for quite a while now and finally coming to the point where i can get into the nitty gritty of animation and Blender keeps crashing.
I have had to buy a new nvidia Geforce GT610 graphics card, a whole new PC thats running windows 7 with a quad core processor, 8GB of ram and 1TB HD. I assumed this would be more than adequate to complete my little project for my grandson. I am using Blender 2.72 but have even tried to upgrade it to 2.74 using blender cycles to improve the look but everytimme i try and go into render mode to take a look at my progress it crashes saying the openGL driver stopped working error 3.
Can anyone please please help. My grandsons gonna be about 18 by the time i get my first animation to him and hes only five now. LOL Am i missing something inthe settings or doing something really wrong? I have even been in contact with the people who made the Graphics card and am still waiting for a response.
Again please please help. I dont want to really get into my project just to lose it all in a crash.
Many thanks
Woody
