Photoshop CS6 crashing after motherboard replacement

After my desktop (Windows 10) motherboard and processor were replaced, InDesign CS6 still works fine, but (apart from a very annoying problem re-registering Acrobat, now fixed by Adobe with a more recent version) the other serious problem I am left with is that Photoshop CS6, while it opens, and I can create a new canvas, paste an image into it, crop it, move it etc, and even "merge visible" and SAVE the psd file, but when I try to PASTE A SECOND IMAGE ONTO THAT CANVAS (which sometimes works and sometimes crashes) and (if it hasn't crashed already) then CROP, it crashes, not just out of the file, but out of Photoshop.  It's as if I never turned the program on - except that I can open the saved psd file. 

I uninstalled Photoshop - there were two CS6 listed but the one that wasn't annotated (64X ?) was paled (grayed) out and I uninstalled both - then reinstalled it from a link Adobe sent me in 2021 (when I also had major problems getting parts of CS6 running after hardware replacements).

This unexpected and complete crash out of the program makes Photoshop extremely difficult and frustrating to work with.  

Any advice on how to fix this and/or information about why the possible reason for it crashing would be appreciated.  

The motherboard I believe is the same model as my old one.

    Thanks Jeff

    I see you've highlighted a "700 series" where I've now found the product listed.  Perhaps it seems obvious that I should have looked there, but I was confused by the GT.  

     

    This is what they show there - I'll have to assume that this is actually a driver, and then work out how to go about replacing the existing one with it (at present I have no idea) :

    GeForce Security Update Driver

     
    Version:474.30  WHQL
    Release Date:2023.3.30
    Operating System:Windows 10 64-bit, Windows 11
    Language:English (US)
    File Size:706.87 MB

    It's vital that you DO find out the version of the driver you are running before the update, don't just guess, get the exact number. It's entirely possible that the update will make things much worse, and you need to know where to go back to.

    Here's a screenshot of what to enter in the different fields to get the graphics driver for your GT 710.

    Then click on Start Search and you'll get the Driver Results of which you want the first one listed.

    Good luck finding what Series the GeForce GT 710 is in - and their so-called CRM architect has ensured that you cannot get anything without knowing that and where to to find it.  Putting the product name into a search is NOT possible.

    I would try an install of the latest Navidia drivers for your GT 710 card

    Driver Version: 474.30 - Release Date: Thu Mar 30, 2023

    I would if I could, but this company (like many others) has no clue how to design a Customer Relations Management (CRM) interface that works for ALL its customers, including non-experts and people NOT fixated on the intricate details of their graphics card.  There is no obvious category for the GeForce GT 710  card, either in their current list or their legacy list, and the closest to it is three items for Notebooks, which are not correct.

    I finally found, via non-working chat, a way of messaging them, and sent this:

    "Apparently my driver for GeForce GT 710 graphics card is defective or outdated, yet in your driver download page, it appears to be impossible to find the product, and I cannot find out what Series it belongs to, so I cannot find your driver.
    You also make it extremely difficult to obtain this information - it has taken a long and frustrating process to find this page."

    No further ahead at this juncture.

    Thanks for your continued attention and help - it is much appreciated.

    In that message to Asus, I continued:

    "Please email the driver for NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 for my system :
    Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 19045) (19041.vb_release.191206-1406)
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-10100 CPU @ 3.60GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.6GHz
    Memory: 16384MB RAM
    or if it's too large, please send the DIRECT LINK so I don't have to navigate through a system that's impossible to navigate though."

    For the record, so I can find it again, my reference number for follow up: #230612-000780 .

    Somethings up with your graphics card since photoshop cs6 doesn't see it.

     

    If you open dxdiag and go to the Display page, what does it say?

    Do you have a separate Graphics Card or are you using the motherboard onboard (intergrated GPU) graphics?

     

    If you have a separate graphics card, did you disable the onboard graphics in your computers bios?

    I would do a manual reset of the photoshop cs6 preferences by going to

    C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6

    and trashing the

    Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings folder

     

    If you have any custom Workspaces in the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings folder , remove

    those first so you can put them back after the reset.

    Another thing you want to do is from within photoshop cs6 go to Help>Updates and install any available updates.

    Thanks Jeff

    It han't fixed the issue.  I deleted that folder (no custom workspaces to worry about), and updated CS6, but there were no updates for the Photoshop module. 

    After all that was complete, I opened Photoshop CS6, opened the psd file I was trying to work on, cropped it successfully, saved it, opened a similar psd file that I needed to copy one part of the image from, copied that merged section, pasted it onto the first file, then realised the copied bit need Transform/Scaling, and as soon as I hit "Scale", Photoshop disappeared without trace as if it had never been opened.
