Rhino 8 freezes entire computer when editing materials

Hi all,

I just wanted to ask you if you could help me with an issue. I’ve used rhino for 5 years now and never had this probleme before but recently when touching the materials on the layers rhino becomes almost unusable and after some time freezes the entire computer having to restart it.

I saw a guy with kind of similar problem and you told him to switch to his CPU and when I do so at least my computer doens’t freezes but rhino closes.

So if you guys have some other tip Thank you very much !

I saw you needed the “systeme info” data so i copied them here :
