Why does SolidWorks crash when quoting an electrical route? (SLDW 2016 SP5.0)

Hi all 

As my question indicates, I am confronted with ultra regular crashes of SolidWorks 2016 SP5, as soon as I want to quote an electrical route. I've been using the tool for 2 months, (I used to do this under CATIA V5) and as soon as the first coaxes were drawn, crashes appeared, often after a quote, when SolidWorks reroutes my cable.

We had put it down to my old HP Z400, as best I could, I had managed to route the 40 cables that made up my project.

In the meantime we got an HP Z240, very efficient (still more than my old WorkStation), and quite simply, a crash appears EVERY TIME I want to dimension a route in the sketch!!
Yesterday, I was able to wire about ten Coaxes, without dimensioning them except for the lengths of the routing hook segments (via the left window present when creating a routing), but today it becomes problematic not to be able to dimension, unless you route in a 3D sketch aiming "by eye" to avoid clashes between cables, I have no other solution and it will eventually become problematic for the realization of my projects...

So I'm turning to you and your experience of the software to help me with tests or procedures to be carried out in order to debug this problem =)

PS: My graphics card drivers are up to date, downloaded via the SolidWorks website.

Thank you in advance for your interest in my problem.

Cdlt,

Hello, the Dagnostic Rx does not indicate anything particular or alarming, see images:




Edit: 

FYI, I still managed to crash SolidWorks in Safe Mode (!!)  by reproducing what usually leads me to crashes...

Your drivers are probably not the right ones because we don't talk about version 10.18 at any time on the site.
