Every time I try to work on a photo Lightroom 8.1 and Lightroom Classic 14.1 crash. I´ve followed several steps: 

1. Reset preferences

2. Run as admin

3. Update GPU to High performance. 

 

but still its not working

Hi there, 

after reading the answers at other discussions in this forum (thank you!) I managed to solve this issue. I changed the GPU presets to "use GPU processor: OFF". 

 

Edit-> presets -> performance -> use graphic processor -> off

 

and it worked  🐵

"DirectX: NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M (23.21.13.9077)"

 

Install the latest driver (three months newer, but still from 2018):

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/132841/

 

That may help. But as dj_paige noted, your graphics process is very old and barely meets the minimum required amount of graphics memory (2 GB). 

 

Note that the AI commands (AI masking, Remove, Denoise, Lens Blur) inexplicably ignore the setting of Use Graphics Processor, so they may continue to run very, very slowly, working incorrectly, or crash your LR.

Please do the LR menu command Help > System Info and copy/paste the entire contents here so we can see exactly which versions of hardware and software LR thinks you're running and important LR options that are set.

You have a 12 year old GPU, I am not surprised that LrC crashes. You can try updating to the latest driver; but if that doesn't help you will likely need a new GPU that meets the LrC specifications.

Check the device manager for an active on-chip GPU. Deactivating it seems to have solved my constant crash problems. Don't now how it got active anyway.
