Haha, I had this too, it does indeed crash randomly even with not interacted
with.
It's crashing even more often running on bootcamp on curent-gen IMacs, but I
guess that's mostly due to gfx-card drivers.
I'm currently teaching a class of 5 once in a week on the basics of CG on
3dsmax (because the school decided to use that, not because I wanted to) and
it's crashing on them at least twice in 4 hours (and we do really basic stuff
on super-lightweight scenes). Safe always, safe often...
..because this is the only 3d app that can crash without using it. Seriously.
On the weekend I had a short freelance job with Max. That piece of shit crashed
about 5 times in an hour, ate up 3 gigabytes of memory with a realtime
motorbike model and it's realtime shader. The final stab was when I was viewing
the references in XnView, and suddenly Max crashed in the background.
Shame on Autodesk, they are shipping faulty products, charging you for getting
bugfixes, misleading you, and cheat on you. F.ck them. Thanks God modo and
zbrush are very far from that huge, disgusting entity....
