Answer 2

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Kindly follow the steps provided below to resolve your issue.

Method 1: Run Memory Diagnostic Tool.

Press Windows key or click on Start Menu and type Memory Diagnostic.

Select Windows Memory Diagnostics and click on Restart now and check for problems.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

Method 2: Safe mode

Try booting your PC in safe mode. Refer to the article on how to Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10

Safe mode starts Windows in a basic state, using a limited set of files and drivers. If a problem doesn't happen in safe mode, this means that default settings and basic device drivers aren't causing the issue. Observing Windows in safe mode enables you to narrow down the source of a problem and can help you troubleshoot problems on your PC.

Method 3: Clean boot

Try booting your PC in clean boot. Refer to the article on How to perform a clean boot in Windows

Note: Clean Boot starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program. Also, you may not be able to use some programs in clean boot.

If performing a clean boot fixes the issue then, please refer to the section How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot to check which program is causing the issue.

Note: Please refer the section Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting to boot the computer in to normal mode after troubleshooting.

Step 5: Reinstall Graphics driver

Press Windows + X key and select Device Manager from the context menu.

Spot and expand the Display adapters.

Right click on the NVidia driver and select “Uninstall”

Check the box beside “Delete the driver software for this device”

Then download and install the latest version of the driver again from NVidia website.
