System Information
Operating system and graphics card
- > Windows 7 / Gigabyte GTX 560ti

Blender Version
Broken: (example: 2.69.7 4b206af, see splash screen)
- >2.70 hash#: 19e627c
Worked: (optional)
- > with non particle animations

Short description of error
- >1) After adjusting Particle settings,and pressing alt-A , Blender populated all available memory (6 gigs) and crashed system. (memory leak?)
- >2) Now memory crashes (jumps to %96+) and file does not load

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on a (as simple as possible) attached .blend file with minimum amount of steps
- >1) Attempt to open blend file (Memory may crash)
- > 2) If file does load press alt+A to play animation (includes particle system, turbulence, and wind afterwards.

Notes: I did scale the domain (in edit mode I think?)

The file can be found here on dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/s/iy61j5j08dvfe63/Fog%20Bank%20Animatio.zip

I could not uplaod it due to file size restrictions and i can not open the file to make it smaller. it is 9.24MB in a .zip file and 40.2MB uncompressed

Thank you for taking a look.

Ran the test. Took about an hour to complete all 60 frames. It didn't crash. Maximum mem usage was 2.6 GB (of 8 GB). (final physics cache on disk is 2.9 GB).

A bit perplexed about why it is crashing my system. But at least I know that the problem is most likely my set up.

Again thank you for testing the file and letting me know. It is very much appreciated.

Yes, works here as well… Probably some memory issue on your hardware?
