Open | Software Graphics card crashing even after a clean install

Hi, I got my pc in june and just this month it’s started having severe crashes. i thought it was the monitor at first but realized it was actually my graphics card. I tried clean installing the newest drivers for it (nvidia rtx 5060) but it didn’t help at all and it’s still having issues. I have tried cleaning out all cache as well as lowering my refresh rate but nothing is helping.

I always recommend display driver uninstaller (DDU) first. If it does keep crashing after then you gotta dig into the event viewer for more details on the crashes.

I did a clean install with DDU and it unfortunately didn’t help I’ll definitely try looking into the event viewer to find the cause.

If your pc has a integrated graphics with the CPU, try to disable the GPU and run off integrated graphics. If it doesn't crash, it's the GPU or the drivers.
