Keeps crashing on new laptop
So, after funeral of my previous 9 y.o. laptop, I bought a new one.


But SFM still frikin' crashing without any reason or error messages when on my previous laptop it runs great, stable, ok and etc.

On my new laptop it's just randomly crashes after several minutes and crashes 100% after choosing poster rendering path, but when I didn't choosed any path, when I just clicked "Export",it just rendering a poster without any problem.And ofcourse it crashes after few secs.

I loaded default SFM's map "black_void", I can load any models, set up lights and cameras, but after 1 minute or less it just crashes. I didn't make any supernatural sessions on new laptop, but my old laptop can handle with my heavy sessions with high-poly models, lot of lights with or w/o volumetrics, a lotta particle and etc without crashing, with low FPS of course.

But any other programs (like Substance Painter what my old laptop can't handle) and games runs fine.

Can new OS cause crashing? Because on my old laptop runs on Win 7, when new one on Win 10. I don't have any ideas. Wasted on fixing this problem about 4 hours.


Current laptop: Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 4600H with Radeon Graphics 3.00 GHz
RAM: 8 GB
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1605 4GB; AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics

Old laptop: Acer Aspire 5560-4333G32Mnbb
Processor: AMD A4-3300M APU 1.9-2.5 GHz 2 core
RAM: 3 GB
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6480G

If nobody don't have any ideas, well, I guess I need to start fully learn Blender, not only for TF2 modding anymore or back to GMod (atleast I still have some scenebuilding and posing skills XD).
