(apologies for bad english)
I’ve been having this problem lateley where Rhino 8 freezes and so does my whole laptop, having to restart it completley and start everything over again. It happens because of many things: it happens whenever i apply a material to an object, it happens whenever i turn on the sun option, it happens when i change the display mode to raytraced.
Its weird because this didnt really happen when i first started using rhino, everything used to run smoothly up unitl a few days ago. My pc isnt great but i wasnt having this issues before!
here is the systeminfo:
