A little more detail?

Hello
What's your concern?
Can you elaborate? The software crashes during which operation?

Like my colleagues she is or the description of the crash
This is the first time I've heard a crash for a drawing
So yes explanations it's a part or assemblies created via solidworks
or it's an import that hasn't been converted correctly
@+
I MADE A DRAWING FROM AN ASSEMBLY. THE DRAWING WAS CREATED.
I TRY TO OPEN THE DRAWING BUT SOLIDWORKS CRASHES.
MESSAGE: SOLIDWORKS HAS ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO CLOSE.
I DID ANOTHER DRAWING UNDER ANOTHER NUMBER FROM THE ASSEMBLY, SAME RESULT.
I'VE ALREADY TURNED OFF MY PC.
Thank you, I'll write in lowercase
Turn off your pc and restart
and try again
Hello
Just for the record in case you don't know but writing in capital letters means that you are screaming, that you are angry.

Is the assembly complex?
And by changing the background?
Maybe it's the background plan that's the problem or even the drawing template.
Have you tried with Solidworks' standard templates and basemaps?
The drawing crash was a bit of our daily lot, today, a little less.
We manage complex packages. I'm talking about more than 1000 parts named excluding screws.
We manage the simplest mechanically welded elements and up to 1000 pieces in bulk.
As soon as we start the drawings, we are confronted with multiple problems:
- Long regeneration
- Long backup
- Crashing
Having tried to improve the speed and stability of SW, you have to restrict the use of many functions and tell yourself that it is better to remove and redo than to try to modify.
For 3D it is:
- Not having surface elements
- Use complex commercial parts to limit the number of lines in a drawing (such as supplier entries or engine fins)
- Create a single lightweight configuration. If it is necessary to create different positions, it is best to create a new assembly.
-...
For the drawing, it is:
- Do not make a plan with several sheets
- Limit detail views
- Do not create a view from a section, detail, or interrupted view
- Check that each sketch line belonging to a view is also constrained to the same view
- ...
It is indeed a lot of work upstream, a lot of rigor, the training of the teams in the working method so as not to be slowed down by too many crashes.

I completely agree with j.mary
On mechanically welded parts, you must indeed follow his recommendations.
However, for a professional software, I find that having the need to do so feels more like free software.
It's only my opinion but I find it completely unacceptable.
The big companies are probably not affected (no or little welded construction because it is subcontracted) but I think that a multitude of small structures like mine are too affected. I feel alone, with solidworks!
If others share my opinion, perhaps we can act together?
For my part, I still use the 2017 SP5 version and I'm no longer under contract, if anyone has other solutions... (I'm thinking of TEKLA?)
