I would really really -love- to use IDL it is why I got Poser 8, but without fail my comp shuts down when I attempt to render any scene with it.  Quad core, 6 gigs of dual channel RAM and it wilts with even a test render with IDL, and yes, I strip the AO off all materials when I have tried it. 

Trying to figure out why this happens, I am pretty sure it is a hardware problem somwhere, but until I do the albinoize material with AO would be greatly appreciated.
