New computer, Rhino 8 crashes with simple commands

Brand new computer, after reviewing some forums, I ran SystemsInfo in Safe mode but don’t understand what’s causing the issue

Here is a guide to setup hybrid graphics, if it was going to the Intel for Primary GL that could cause the issue.

Soooo, you bought a laptop with hybrid graphics and rhino doesn't run right. READ THIS

Hybrid graphics laptops are more and more common if you buy a consumer grade machine. (I recommend buying a mobile workstation for professional modeling but these hybrid machines are quite prevalent in the consumer market, especially for students.) They tend to generate a TON of tech support here because of the way they are set up from the factory. Hybrid systems are built with 2 graphics processors. A low power graphics chip (typically Intel HD or UHD) and a high power graphics card. However…

all the nulls and NA’s tell me your driver is misbehaving.

I’d grab new drivers from nvidia and install them custom/advanced and choose clean install-

don’t just install new drivers with the basic install-
install them clean or you’ll just patch over whatever problem is already there.

That did the trick, many thanks
