Help!

Post Body

I can't run Photoshop for more than a minute or two without my entire laptop freezing up. Can't do anything except hard restart it by holding down the power button. This has only been happening the past few weeks. Have uninstalled/reinstalled. Never experienced this issue before. Anyone else experiencing this or may be able to help?

*EDIT*

I have had a small success with the issue:

It seems when I disable one of my display drivers (Laptop has two: GeForce GTX 960M and an Intel(r) HD Graphics 530), it will allow me to use the previous version of Photoshop (Photoshop 2020) without causing my PC to freeze. I'm not exactly sure why this works though. I've updated the display drivers, but the only way I keep the whole PC from freezing up is to disable the Intel driver.

Any thoughts on why this works, or how I can fix the issue and keep both display drivers enabled would be appreciated!
