I am a Rhino 7 user, and I am experiencing extremely frequent crashes whenever I work with D5 Render open. The shutdowns occur even when I am not performing any complex or heavy tasks.
I am certain that this is not a hardware specification issue, as my CPU, RAM, and Graphics Card utilization all remain under 30% when the crashes happen.
Could you please explain why this is happening and how I can resolve this issue? Thank you.
How about when you don’t have D5 open? If you still get crashes with D5 not running, then how about when the D5 installation is entirely removed? If it still crashes, then perhaps the Rhino installation should be repaired or removed and reinstalled. This process will clearly discern whether the issue resides with Rhino, D5 or the D5 integration with Rhino..
Run SystemInfo in Rhino and post the results.

I would now suggest that you first make the Nviidia RTX 3060 your primary OpenGL card after updating its driver to the latest from Nvidia and switching your monitor to the Nvidia. It probably wouldn’t hurt to check whether the Intel driver is the latest available for that card as well.
If the problem still persists you could then start the diagnostics suggested in my first post.
Another thought is whether a D5 installation somehow conflicts with a V-ray installation.
