Hi I have been experiencing random computer freezes while in UE 4.1.1 . There is no prompt that appears showing if there is a conflict as with other users. I’ve attached DX Diag log as well as the log from the Project. This appears to happen either in a empty level with no code or with some objects already built.

Hello,
Would you be able to provide any steps you were doing when it crashed, were you in the level editor, working with Blueprints, etc. Also, any other logs you may have at the time of the crash you could provide?
Thanks,

I was in the level editor and I was placing Box and re sizing them via the x,y and, z parameters. I also added materials to the boxes which formed the floor of the level I was trying to build. The crashes happen randomly in terms of the last few things I did before the computer freezes. Sometime it happens when I’m moving my mouse cursor over another panel in the editor or when I place a box in the editor.
I also tried version 4.0 and 4.1.1 and both resulted in a computer within 15 minutes.
Also, when you computer freezes are you getting a Crash Reporter prompt or is your system completely locking up? If you are getting a Crash Reporter prompt, would you be able to post the log from it so that I may get a better understanding of what may be causing it?
Thanks,

My system completely locks up and I have to do a cold .
Did you check if you computer overheats? Some overheat protections freezes computer insted of turning it off
I’ll check that out and see also if there is any dust that are on any part of the motherboard. Also, I will download 4.2 to see if there are any changes. Personally I don’t think it could be overheating since the level I built is just 4 blocks…so it cannot be anything GPU or CPU intensive.
Hello,
Thank you for your report. We were not able to investigate this on the engine version you reported, but there have been many version changes to UE4 since this question was first posted.

I am actually experiencing this on 4.9.1 /
Hi ,
This post was made last year in a much older version of the engine. As such, many functions and features within the editor have changed. Please make a new post with the information specific to the freeze you are currently experiencing and we will address it there. I am closing this post as outdated.
