Octane Crashes on a Dell Precision M6300

I just downloaded a demo version of Octane.

I installed Octane demo on my laptop, a Dell Precision M6300 with a Quadro FX3600M. The CUDA drivers are correctly installed.
Octane starts and I'm able to import obj files or open demo scenes, but if I click on the scene node, Octane crashes, disappearing without warning messages.
I'm on Windows 7 Professional 64bit and all the drivers and software is 64bit

Can anyone help me?

Try the example scenes that came with the demo (separate download).
Because of the limited video memory, I reduce my textures to 10-33 percent to get them to fit in memory space.

Big Hint!
Once the object is loaded click 4x4 subsample quickly, this will reduce the immediate bang, if the object has too many textures you will run out of ram.

See this has a lot of textures

as tugpsx said, try the demo suite scenes, and install the latest drivers for your OS and card from the main nvidia site first...

Thanks to all!

I had these problems also after updating the NVidia driver and also using the demo scene (spaceships).
This is a Laptop I'm using as a test machine... so, I decided to format it. Octane now works well, also with my obj files.

Sorry for this confusion (and for my english :) )
