Why 300 dpi? Are you rendering for print? It's unnecessary otherwise and won't make the slightest difference to your render quality. It will, however, eat RAM like PacMan with munchies. That aside, P5 will hang if you throw too much at it. How complex is your scene, for starters. Even one figure with hair, clothing and a couple of Props will make P5 choke if you try hard enough. Example, I couldn't render V2 with a StefyZZ texture, Catsuit with texture, Mask-Da's Les Paul Guitar and a wall and ground prop. That is to say, the render stopped at approx 90%. I was, howvever, trying to render at 3000 x 4000, which is pretty damn big. Reducing the render to a less insane size did the trick. A workaround, if you absolutely must render at your chosen settings, is to render in sections then stitch it back together in Photoshop. A lot of people advocate saving in TIF format because it gives you an alpha channel which makes sticking it back together a lot easier. Personally, I prefer PNG because the alpha channel is already transparent when the image is loaded in Photoshop.
