Rviz Version 1.9.34 Crashes

When I run turtlebotrvizlaunchers view_navigation.launch. Rviz hangs up and the display of the Computer starts blinking. It crashes every time when Slam/autonomous navigation of turtle bot is launched.

What version of ROS, what version of OS (presumably Linux)? Most of my rviz crashes are due to graphics drivers; What is your hardware configuration, including what type of video card are you using?

Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS Precise. ROS groovy. I have Intel Quad Core Workstation. Graphic Card is ATI Radeon HD 46000.

And what drivers do you use for your ATI 46000? The open source ones, or the ones from AMD?

Open source Ubuntu installed them automatically

Have you tried the AMD binary drivers? RViz is a OpenGL application which can put quite a load on your GPU.

Yes but still the same errors. I installed new driver libraries but still same issue.
