About 15 minutes ago I added all the render elements to vray, just to remind myself what some of them looked like and hit render. The machine dies, mouse moves extremely lagged (about a 5 minute lag, literally) and I can't do much with it but force it to close down by holding in the power button.
It's stuck on "preparing global light manager".
I'm guessing it's vray, but I suppose it could be something else, though this only happened when I used the render elements. I'm using windows xp x64 and max 2008 x64. Memory shouldn't be a problem.
Does anyone else ever experience this? I'm going to leave my machine overnight and see if it recovers, the scene is basic, hardly anything to it so I'm totally stumped.
