Thanks for your answer,

There is absolutely no error message when ANSYS crashes using the GUI, the log file ends with the memory allocation information with no accompanying error. Sometimes, some information from a first completed iteration is also written to the log file, and it just hangs for an hour or two before closing itself. When I start my job from a command line, I get the following on the console when it crashes, but I think it is only a generic message :

I will try to change the BIOS setting tomorrow and re-test, and I will come back with the results.
