I have had this problem for months now and I have searched everywhere and cannot find any information.

When I uses brushes in Photoshop my whole computer crashes. I think its only when I am zoomed in, but I’m not sure about that one, but it is definitely an issue with brushes.

At first I thought it was b/c I import all my brushes, but it even does it with stock brushes. It does not do it every time with stock ones, but if i use imported brushes, it almost will always do it. I can usually get away with using the brush a few times before it happens, but it eventually does, especially if I drag the brush, as opposed to just stamping it.

I have no clue why its doing this. I’ve reloaded my PS several times, I’ve even reloaded my computer and it still does it. No one else I know has this same problem.

Hi,
You are lucky you have an easily reproducible error. For purposes of diagnostics you might try disabling hardware acceleration for the display but if PS has ever worked reliably on this machine before then it is unlikely to help. If it helps then you will need to check with the vendor for an updated driver.

Troubleshoot
None

Good luck,
Ron
