Advocate IVPowerBI Desktop Crashes
Akahn My guess is that they'll have you go into options and enable tracing, have you crash the desktop and send them the trace file to see why it is doing it. Or you could just do that.
Also go into the Power Bi settings and increase the amount of Virtual memory it can use as well.
I had to do both, as our IT department wouldn't let me increase the memory, but let me put in an external SSD, which was set as virtual use only.
hopefully that helps.
May I ask what you have your POWERBI virtual memory set to?
Computer has only 8GB memory (work computer), when Power BI is open, constantly using 15.7 gb. The only way I could get Power Bi to work without crashing, was to give it full access to a large Virtual Memory when I did this it worked. However as it was constatnly using the standard harddrive using up disk space constantly, so I gave it a full dedicated 250gig on a dedicated SSD in reserve.
- IT department installed 64 bit PBI. No crashes since.

Installed 64 bit, but then I could not import data from our ERP using ODBC connection as it is 32 bit. Our whole IT architecture is 32 bit.
