Hi In a modern operating system a crash in an application, such as Photoshop, cannot take down the entire system. However a driver called by the operating system can. You can get a clue as to which driver by looking for the crash in the Windows relaibity monitor (type relaibilty into the Windows search box). In the meantime, look at your drivers in particular your GPU driver.
Go to NVidia, download the latest Studio driver for your GPU. When installing choosed Advanced and then check clean install. This will ensure remnants of the old driver are overwritten. Don't install the GeForce Experience options they are not required for creative work and are tailored for games.
