Photoshop freezing 100% of the computer when passing any brush/eraser

Question

Hey guys! How are you? I use photoshop on this pc for 3 years, but in these last two weeks, when I try to brush or erase in photoshop, it totally crashes, along with the entire operating system. I couldn't find the error, because I use other adobe programs like after effects, premiere and etc every day and I'm just having this problem with Photoshop. I've already looked at the video card drivers (I have a gtx 1050 ti). can anybody help me?

In addition to @c.pfaffenbichler post. Do you have installed the latest version of you graphic driver?

Do you have install the "Game Ready"- or the "Studio"- driver?

Please try the Studio Driver 516.59 from 29/6/2022.

I already use this version with a GTX 1050TI without any problems.

You can also try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps described here:

Preferences in Photoshop (adobe.com)

Please backup your settings before resetting the preferences. You can check:

Preferences in Photoshop (adobe.com)

Another try is to deactivating the "Native Canvas". Go to Preferences > Technology Previews... and check "Disable Native Canvas" - then restart Photoshop.
