I have switched/upgraded motherboard, CPU and RAM. Now DS crashes immediately after i push the icon to launch it.

Any ideas?

(All other programs runs as before the upgrade).

    What CPU is that?

    Could it be related to the issue from this post? https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/6874141/#Comment_6874141

    Can your current PSU handle the newer hardware?

    Leana: Thank you for the tip. Tested it. Didn't work as intended.

    JVRenderer: I honestly haven't considered that. Could it be the reason? I can run every other program including Photoshop and graphics heavy games.

    Every other program, photoshop and/or graphics heavy games do not strain the system like DS

    I'm not sure how much I need but it is a 750W PSU.

    not all hardware are created equal. Some CPUs can go up to 240W under load, GPU upward 350W. Non rated PSU on a good day only get 86% of it's claimed power output. Gold Rated and up can do 90% and up.  Older PSU degrades overtime, especially when the electronics parts are caked with tar (smoker) grime and dust.  I'm not saying that your PSU is bad, but everytime you upgrade to newer hardware, it's best to check all ohter hardware components in your system. A good cleaning is also recommended.

    Did you read and check what @Leana suggested? It's very much related.

    I have tested it before. DS crashed.

    Then I rested, but I also restarted the computer. That did it!
    DS runs again!

    Thanks a lot Leana, PerttiA and everyone else who tipped!
