My problem today is this error I'm getting upon opening the drawing after having multiple FATAL ERRORS and then the program just crashes again. I checked the Autodesk Forums and the problem is all these temp files are created every time a drawing is opened and if it's not closed "properly" the temp folder gets overwhelmed with these files and they have to be manually deleted. The other option is uninstalling and reinstalling Civil3D. I've been deleting files for 2 hours now. We'll see how much longer it takes.
Do you have any large XREFs? Depending on the fatal error this may be the problem. I've had something similar with aerial photos and drawings where there is a lot of line work (i.e. parcels lines for the entire tri-county area). Civil3D can't handle panning when the images and/or XREFs are that large. You may try unloading them and working with them turned off so the computer doesn't have to render the frame every time you pan or modify the drawing.
