Make sure you have a working video card driver for your graphics card.
When fixing a problem with your video card, make sure it’s more than just the wrong driver.
If you have an AMD or Nvidia card, ensure you have the latest version of their drivers installed on your computer. If you need to know what driver’s performance is installed on your system, go into Control Panel > System and Security > Hardware (Start Menu). Then click Device Manager in the left pane of Windows Explorer—this will open up a window where your hardware is displayed. Look for “Vista” in this list; if there is no entry here (or if it says Windows Vista), then go ahead and click “Properties” under Device Manager’s title bar at the top-center of the display window before proceeding further into this article!
Update all the drivers for your video card and other hardware.
The first thing to do is update all the drivers for your video card and other hardware. When installing new software, make sure that your hardware is also updated.
The next step is ensuring you have the latest version of all these drivers installed on your computer. You can find them by searching for them online or by looking in the Control Panel under System and Security > Hardware tab > Device Manager window that pops up when you press Windows+X keys together (or click on Start button > Control Panel).
Check if your video card driver is listed in compatible graphics cards.
To check if your video card driver is listed in the list of compatible graphics cards:
- Open up, Device Manager. If you don’t see it, go to Start > Control Panel > Setup and Security > System and Settings > Hardware and Sound (or similar).
- Select “View devices by connection” under the heading “Display adapters.”
- Scroll down until you find your GPU(s) (graphics processing units).
- Click on them once they’re highlighted in green or red; if they’re not listed, contact their manufacturer or Microsoft Support for assistance updating drivers.
Download and install the newest driver from your video card makers’ site.
Restart your computer.
Restart your computer.
Restarting your computer is an excellent way to fix video drivers’ problems, whether causing you to crash.
Try updating your video drivers again.
If you still need to update your video drivers, it’s time to do so. Check for updates by going to the device manager and clicking “Update Driver Software.” This will show you all the drivers installed on your computer. Make sure that all versions of the same driver are up-to-date with each other, and check for new versions with different features or names.
See if the problem still occurs with a different video card driver.
