Maya 2015 constant crash

[andreas]

I have Maya 2015 service pack 2 installed at work and it crashes about 6 times a day. The other people at my work are also experiencing the same problem. I have a PC 2.60 GHZ, 16 GB RAM, and and NVIDIA QUADRO k5000.

It sometimes crashes when I'm not even using maya, or even when i'm not using my computer. I am not pushing my RAM limit. 

The only pattern I noticed is that it crashes more when I'm suing projection but that is not always the case.

Not much info to go on here...

Can you post the crashlog?

Most of the time I get an dmp file that I can't read, but when it's a txt it's often:

Exception code: C0000005: ACCESS_VIOLATION - illegal read at address 0x00000013
Fault address: 558504FA in C:\Windows\system32\nvoglv64.DLL
0001:00A7F4FA Logical offset (see .map file for location)

or

Exception code: C0000005: ACCESS_VIOLATION - illegal read at address 0x00000030
Fault address: E64C4C3D in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2015\bin\FOUNDATION.dll
0001:000B3C3D Logical offset (see .map file for location)

Some other ones are:

Exception code: C0000005: ACCESS_VIOLATION - illegal read at address 0xFFFFFFFF
Fault address: E3F34446 in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2015\bin\DependEngine.dll

I have the same problem. The crashes happen at different times, doing different things. I haven't been able to determine exactly what specific action causes the crash. This morning, for example, I opened a file, added a camera and while I was looking at an ASCII file in another window, it crashed.

I am attaching some of my .dmp files and a couple of log files (it doesn't always create a log file)

nvoglv64.DLL is a video driver related file...

What driver version are you running?

File version: 9.18.13.3165

I had updated my drivers before but I guess it the most recent ones did the job. Hasn't crashed for 2 days now. Thank you!
