Issue:
Hi, today I noticed that my computer screen freezes or hangs sometimes, usually when I use Autocad. This issue started occurring after the Windows update last Saturday. My PC is running on Windows 10. I have already tried several troubleshooting steps, but none of them have solved my problem. Will updating the NVIDIA GeForce 820M Graphics card driver help me with that? What do you think?
Cause:
There might be lots of reasons behind the graphics card driver problem. Usually it might be due to incomplete “Windows update” or “Device driver update”.
Solution:
