Why does my blender crash when I open a file? So I have an i5 8th gen mobile processor, a nvidia mx110, and 8gb of ram. I know the specs are laughable, but I used to be able to run blender without any problems a few days ago. Now when ever I launch a file that previously worked flawlessly my blender crashes. I've noticed it happens when loading the material textures in the material preview mode (not render mode, sorry I don't know the proper terms.) When I launch a file I can see the basic shape with no textures but when I see the &quot;shaders compilation&quot; loading in the bottom right of the screen it always crashes and says blender isn't responding.
Additional information is that I'm using the latest version of blender and I also have the latest drivers for my laptop. Please someone help me I'm really new to blender, but it's something I really want to get the hang of.
I think I can answer your question because the same thing happened to me when I was a beginner(I had intel i5 3rd gen with 12gb ram and integrated graphics). This can happen due to any of the following reasons:

If you were in material preview mode during last save. It happens because sometimes evee(renderer for material preview mode) can run out of processing power or memory if you have a heavy blender file(or materials).
Blender file is too heavy for your computer.

You can fix this by doing the following:

Make sure you are in solid mode or cycles rendering mode during your last save.
