Hey guys.

I'm brand new to VFX and just started learning Houdini on the weekend. So far, the only thing that's really been holding me back (apart from trying to figure out where all the tools are), is the consistent crashing that I'm experiencing.

I can't seem to make it past page 66 of the Foundation course [www.sidefx.com] - I've built it from the ground up twice. From what I've noticed, it tends to occur when I'm scrubbing after editing the X/Y handles in the animation editor, or adding Motion FX (Noise).

I don't think it's my computer specs as it's: i7 6700K, GTX 1070 OC, 16gb RAM, Evo 1TB SSD. nVidia driver is v397.31 (released 25th April 2018).

Would really appreciate any feedback. I've also posted this on Reddit here [www.reddit.com].

Thanks all!
