Rhino has been crashing randomly between every 5 minutes and every 30 minutes. I have yet to start any intense rendering, just creating simple lines and planes and Rhino consistently crashes. If anybody knows why this is happening that would be very helpful.
If you could run the Rhino command _SystemInfo and paste here the results we can start diagnosing what the issue might be.

You need to update your GPU driver to the latest. The most recent driver is currently here NVIDIA Studio Driver | 551.23 | Windows 10 64-bit, Windows 11 | NVIDIA .
When you start the installation make sure you do a custom installation and from that check the clean installation box.
Let me know how that went.
also get your primary GPU switched over to your nvidia card.
(your current primary is set to the weak motherboard chip: Primary display: Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics (Intel) Memory: 1GB)
Good catch, missed that while being focused on the GPU driver so much

So far it seems to be working without issue, appreciate your help.

How do I change my primary GPU to the nvidia card? I’ve changed it in the control panel but it’s still saying in Rhino that my primary display is the intel graphics cars.
Check this topic for instructions: Soooo, you bought a laptop with hybrid graphics and rhino doesn't run right. READ THIS
