I posted my scene to the Cornucopia Venice contest.  It's not very much - I think under 500,000 polygons.  My system recources are between 76% and 82% when it crashes, so it not an out of memory type problem.

I don't see a Default Startup Scene file - I use it the way it came - no changes to startup.  

When I tried to beta test Extream and also for Vue 5 Infinite, the installations were all "temporary".  They will not work after a certain time period.  Since this is a pre-release, it may be possible that one or more files were set with a experation date.  Possible, but I am just guessing.
