I need to buy some small cloth to put over the laptop's screen for when i leave something rendering all night, like last night.

"Just close the laptop screen mang"

I already tried to do that and also activating the auto turn the screen off, and several times i've opened the screen only to find a crashed Blender... not sure what's causing it but it never happens when the screen is open AND turned on.

@hideki closing it, causes some sort of hibernation mode or similar usually.
Just turning off screen should be fine.

@matrixsasuke i disabled both suspension and hibernation in the windows settings so in theory nothing of that should happen, just the screen should turn off and nothing more.

@hideki > windows
i think i might have discovered the problem

@matrixsasuke lel ye, i've tried several times to use linux but it has never worked very well with the laptop graphics card, either because the laptop it's old or because the chipset is AMD, i always end up going back to W7

@hideki i have a new linux laptop for blender with a ton of RAM that works like a breeze (intel graphics card)
@hideki i use simulation mostly tho, so you may have different requirements

@matrixsasuke i think simulation uses more CPU and memory ye, graphics card is more for when rendering.
