Optimisation still running, CPU usage 0%

Hi all,

I have been running an optimisation on a mountain bike frame with multiple load cases. A few times (not necessarily the frame model) when running optimisation with a small element size for multiple load cases,  I have encountered an issue with the program. The Memory (ram) is fully utilised, almost 100% from the processes running, though the processes are not being processed by the CPU, this is causing hard faults to occur. I have left an optimisation run for 17.5 hours, only to not be completed (I know this task may take longer), I terminated due to nothing being processed. This fault may be arising from terminating other runs if they start in parallel. I have attached pictures of my resource monitor for the issue and a good run. In a normal run the CPU fluctuates from around 13 to 100% averaging 40% on some processes.

Computer Specs:

CPU: Intel I7 3610QM  2.3Ghz w turbo

Memory:  8Gb DDR3

Graphics: 2Gb NVidia GT630M

OS: Windows 7 x64 Home Prem.
