Re: Photoshop CS6 suddenly quits

OK, to start with, you haven't applied any of the Photoshop updates. 

 

You are way behind. Your info shows you are on version 13.0, but you should be on 13.0.6.

 

Your machine specs are not that great, sorry. 4 GB of RAM is Adobe's stated, overly optimistic minimum requirement. More realistic is a minimum of 8 GB of RAM, I have 16 GB, some users have 32 GB and even 64 GB of RAM.

 

I have no idea why you get a report of "Video Card Memory: 497 MB".  That's an odd number.  The optimistic minimum requirement as per Adobe is 512 MB.  My video card has 1 GB. Cards with 2 GB of VRAM are common these days.

 

Finally, your scratch file space is woefully inadequate, in my opinion, especially since it's on your boot or start-up drive. See below:

The rule of thumb I follow to figure out scratch space says to figure on 50 to 100 times the size of your largest file ever multiplied by the number of files you have open.  I have seen the scratch file exceed 800 GB once, an admittedly rare occurrence, but it often exceeds 200 GB when stitching large panoramas and the like.

 

As an example—and stressing that I'm aware that others have even more scratch space than I do—I keep two dedicated, physically separate hard drives as my primary and secondary Photoshop scratch disks and a lot of GB free on my boot drive for the OS.  I also have 16 GB of RAM installed.

 

Additionally, if you only have a single HD, i.e. your boot drive, you'd need it to be large enough to accommodate both the swap files of the OS as well as Photoshop's scratch.
