Creating terrain completely crashed PC/Audio/Video drivers

[TwoCatsYelling]

Had what I'd call a pretty catastrophic crash with LW5 today.
This is out of the blue. LW5 has always worked fine when I've run it on Windows.. 10 or 11. 

Anyway...

Installed LW5 on a fresh Windows 11 install.
GPU drivers are up to date.
I was watching a YT video at the time, so there was sound, etc. (only saying this for what happened later)

Installed Leadwerks 5. It started up fine. Created and opened a project fine.
Creating brushes worked fine. 

Everything was fine, working as expected, until I tried to create 1024x1024 terrain.
Right as I noticed the terrain wasn't showing up in any of the views, the following happened, in rapid succession:
1. The LW5 editor froze up.
2. The audio from the YT video I was watching turned into a loud "buzzing" sound before audio died completely.
3. The entire system froze up.
4. Both of my monitors went black, with the power lights blinking, meaning no signal.

I cold-rebooted the PC, and only one monitor was working.
Took me about 30 minutes to figure out the graphics drivers were borked; I had to reinstall them to get both monitors working again.

I uninstalled LW5 immediately.
While I'd love to help further, I'm not going to try and recreate the problem lol. 

I've attached my DXDiag in case anything in there might help.
If there's anything else I can provide info-wise, etc, let me know. I just would not feel comfortable trying to recreate that issue. It was pretty crazy.

Might it be an AMD GPU related thing?
I have a NVidia 2070 Super I can try, though I'd rather not. The AMD is faster lol.

Card is a AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT.

I have a 6600, not much different. I think your drivers are probably not installed correctly? You can get the correct graphics driver for your card here:

I installed them through their Adrenaline software, same as I have before. 
I could try reinstalling them again?

[Josh]

I don't know anything about Adrenaline software. It's easy to select your card in that dialog and download the correct drivers for your card.

[TwoCatsYelling]

Adrenaline is AMD's version of GeForce Experience. All the same kind of functionality, etc.

I'll try just downloading the drivers and see if that makes a difference. Wish me luck lol.

Success!

I don't know if it was reinstalling just the drivers, or that crash was just a complete fluke...
But it's working. 
Good. I reinstalled Windows specifically to work with LW5 lol. Still gonna use the Linux version when it's ready, but I'm too impatient :p. Must use now!

Sorry for the scare!

Thanks, Josh.
