Minion crashes NVidia driver
 

Trying to run Minion, and it crashes my video driver, which restarts with some video artefacting. Not sure how to diagnose this issue.

Strange, Minion doesn't require much of any graphics power. Do you have other graphical programs running at the same time?

What you describe sounds more like your graphics card is getting too warm and its shutting down to save it self. Are you on a laptop or desktop? You may want to check to make sure your fans are clear of dust.

My laptop, a Lenovo IdeaPad Y570, does have a dedusting feature. I'll give that a try.
