Hey Kalit,
Such issues are always a huge headache unless you have Maya debug version and you are a C++ programmer with enough debugging knowledge. Still you could isolate the cause of the problem if you try the following:
such problems are either caused by:
1- hardware issues
2- software issues
3- user misuse of the application
First start with reproducing the problem on other computers. not just another computer, try multiple computers:
- if the problem doesn't occur then your computer is the problem
- if the problem occurs then it's a maya bug or a misuse of maya. for example creating a 100 million copies of a sphere is not a normal practice, in such a case you should use instancing.
- if it's a maya bug then there is nothing you could do
If it's a problem with your computer then you could try the following:
1- drivers not up to date, so update them
2- up to date drivers are causing the problem because they are not compatible with Maya, so sometimes you have to downgrade to an earlier version of the drivers
3- RAM errors, test ram for errors
4- Hard Disk problems, bad sectors , corrupted file system ........... check hard disk for problems
5- Graphics card problems, check the graphics card RAM for errors. check the GPU for errors and overheating.....
6- do you have any installed software which is interfering with Maya? for example firewall, antivirus, malware scanners, some 3D resources hogging application, a GPU or CPU overclocking utilities......
7- A friend kept complaining to me about his computer becoming very slow only a few days after reinstalling windows!! after testing the hard disk with a bootable kaspersky CD, i found a virus in one of the programs, when i told him about it he told me that he always installs that program immediately after installing a new windows!!! don't assume that the software you have is not corrupted or is safe unless you are a 100% sure. for example make sure to verify the checksum of all the software you use on your computer. if you cannot verify the checksum for an application install then you should NOT be using it because it could be corrupted or contain a virus.
8- any connected peripherals which are not compatible with Maya, even a wacome tablet could cause a problem. so disconnect all peripherals which are not necessary for operating the computer.
i hope that helps 🙂
