My Power BI usually crash in loading data phase

Hi, all,

I usually get the local data(simple dowloaded excel or csv files) into Power BI with my personal laptop.

However, my PBI usually crashed during the Load Data Phase.

It will stop with the text block "Evaluating" or "Connecting with data". I am sure my files are so small(only few KBs).

 

Sometimes it works, but it will crash next time.... and then I would reboot the PBI desktop again, and it works in loading data...

and crashed on loading data again, so I have to reboot again...

 

There are several times I have re-installed the PBI desktop.

Is there any clue I could find the root cause or reason why this situation happened?

 

Thank you.

I found I install my Power BI in my D Drive. Therefore it cause the unsteady status for my PBI Desktop.

I just re-install it in the Desk C and it works better...

Hope it is the root cause for this issue.

Thank you all~
