Your graphics card is quite old. This is probably what's causing the issue. Please try updating your GPU drivers to the latest version as this might help.

If this doesn't help, then you can try this and see if it helps:

  1. Select from the top of Blender Edit → Preferences and a new window will open
  2. In the preferences window, navigate to the Viewport tab.
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the Viewport tab, and in the Subdivision section disable GPU subdivision.
  4. Then do the same things you were doing before and see if Blender crashes.

I hope this helps.

I can confirm this is happening and the cause is the GPU Subdivision feature. At this point, GPU S is unusable for me as its crashes as soon as I try edit, or select components. As soon as I disable the feature, crash doesn't happen.

What happens if you update to the latest game ready driver? Does it fix the issue?

Also, when Blender crashes a crash log is produced. So if you open Blender, then add a sub-division surface modifier to an object and it crashes, then a crash log will be produced at C:/tmp/blender.crash.txt. Can you upload that file to us?

Unfortunately I dont have crash log so I can assume it was a hard crash. When looking at the Temp file I can see 5 different Blender folders and all are empty. I will check what happens when I install and try using Game drivers.

Hi, thanks for the report.
Your GPU has old Terascale 2 architecture. To run blender version 2.91 and later, you need GCN 1st gen and newer: https://www.blender.org/download/requirements/
Upgrading driver can sometimes resolve the problem.

@Igor (PolyMarvels) hi, can you make a fresh report for your issue?
