Updating the video drivers
Your display drivers may be obsolete or damaged. As we all know, Windows continues to update, and so video cards also respond to updates by implementing their own updates. If the new drivers aren’t stable, we’ll force your computer to install the default drivers first. If the default driver installation does not work, we will install the latest drivers after downloading them from the manufacturer’s website.
