(Steam Substance sampler version) New "update" crashes the ENTIRE PC

Hello,

I'm sorry to hear about your issue.

The primary cause of a BSOD is usually hardware failure or a driver issue. The current NVIDIA Studio driver version is 572.83.

If you experience a BSOD, please read the message displayed on the screen, as it should provide a hint about what is happening with your computer. Feel free to post the details here, and I will be happy to help.

Could you please share the Substance Sampler log file?

Another possible cause of a BSOD can be overheating during heavy processing if the hardware is dusty or overclocked.

I'm confident we will find the cause of your BSOD.

On my side, I have a similar configuration ready for testing. Currently, there is no BSOD on the Steam edition with NVIDIA Studio driver 572.83, but I will make any necessary changes to match your current drivers listed in the log file you provide.

Best regards,
Guillaume
