SW Crashes at any moment

Stefan Quinn Aug 9, 2018 11:21 AM

solid works crashes when any movement is made, starting a sketch, drawing a line, changing a view, anything... DWGs can be opened but not touched in any way, any advice is appreciated, computer has recent spec, all seems ok, unsure why this is happening.

Are you using an approved graphics card? See Why am I getting weird graphics issues?, and maybe What specs do I need for a new computer to use SolidWorks?

  Intel HD Graphics card 630 currently installed, brand new 1 day old, on my old computer, it used intel 620, which worked totally fine, no dramas from this Graphics card
