If you experience problems, there may some hardware problem.
Tips
- If your video card is integrated => usually, these cards don't get a good performance for rendering purposes. Anyway, I'd suggest that you update the video card driver
- Large files need more Ram memory, so close any other application, browser, etc..
Try these steps
1 - Update all your drivers.
2 - Test a small file (1,000 Kb or less, for example) => try to render and see if it crashes.
More tips => always, the best option is the rational use of resources.
1 - Develop the constructive aspects of house first, (walls, roof, floors, doors, windows, etc.) and add the furniture at the end.
2 - Develop the topography with a low quality definition.
3 - To use fewer resources, use the Render Options: hide the unnecessary elements and reduce the quality. These options can be changed later.
4 - Working in Clear View mode increases the speed.
5 - If you are working in the interior of the house, deactivate the topography.
6 - If you are working in the exterior of the house, deactivate the interior furniture and interior lights.
