D is disk overload. Maybe something else such as a backup program is using the disk at the same time, or you're running out of space, or... Press shift+/ (?) and all will be revealed.

Shift+/ brings up the help window in the lower left corner of Live and describes anything that you mouse over.

Doing shift and / brings up the info box yes, but nothing happens when it crashes..
no info at all apart from what the D means..

-OS
-cpu
-disk type and speed (HD’s or ssd)

Usual stuff you should post when having a pc issue so others know what your pc is like...
