Blender Crashes

Hello! In Steam blender [v4.0] when it crashes when say loading a complex model, complex lighting, etc… Instead of crashing like most other programs where it hangs for a little and closes, Blender will crash the entire display driver. Freezing every thing. What do I do?

Welcome :tada:

…well you might do not wnt to heart this but if some program can crash a driver… then the driver has some issues… so you might check for a newer one… or even revert to an older…

Your graphic card producer support pages… or some computer hardware forum may help better…

(You know that blender can (maybe) tell you something more ? → See also Docs-Blender Manual: crash… and espcially the mentioned command line options…)

What is the size of the file you created.
What is the memory or model of your computer and GPU.

What you can guess from the situation is that it stops because it opens too many, or it opens up a complicated scene, or it seems to go beyond the memory available to the system.

You can simply check your CPU, GPU, and RAM usage in Task
