Hi @KingwoodPhoto sorry to hear this. It seems this GPU is 8 years old? Have you tried to see if there is a driver update?

Try using the older GPU mode in tech preview and see if this works.

Enable Older GPU mode (pre-2016) setting

(Optional) For Windows users only:
Choose Edit > Preferences > Technology Previews

Enable Older GPU mode (pre-2016)

Quit and restart Photoshop for the change to take effect

This preferences forces Photoshop to fall back to an alternate rendering engine. While this is recommended for older GPUs, sometimes newer GPUs could become more stable with this option selected. 

Thanks,

Since posting there was another update that apparently figured that out for me and automatically applied that setting and now it works.

Thanks, that was apparently the issue and if I ever update and it turns it off again, I will hopefully remember to change that 🙂
