A typical error that can happen on Windows PCs is that in which the screen is nailed and the images freeze perhaps even with a black screen and with the mouse and keyboard that no longer respond. Usually, this situation indicates a problem with the video memory or the graphics driver and normally resolves itself automatically.
As I think it will have happened to everyone at least once, the freezing of the PC screen leads to a freeze and a subsequent turning off of the screen for a second, to then return reloaded and reset.
However, if there are sudden problems or freezes of the screen that do not resolve themselves, you need to know how to restore the graphics driver of the video card, which in Windows 10 can be performed quickly using a simple combination of keys .
If you want to restore and restart the video card driver in Windows 10 and also in Windows 8, you can press the keys of the Windows keyboard + CTRL + Shift + B together .
After pressing these keys you will see the screen flicker and turn black for a second, and then return to active in less than a second.
All programs remain open and no jobs will be lost.
This is the easiest method to restart the graphics driver without needing an administrator account and works well with the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel graphics drivers.
There is no guarantee that this will fix a system crash, however, if your computer crashed due to a problem with the graphics drivers, this link could fix it.
This shortcut can solve the blocks that occur when playing games, but it can also recover it from the blocks that occur while using the PC normally.

Obviously, if the video freeze problem occurs often, the graphics driver may be damaged.
You will then need to reinstall the video card driver or update it to the latest version.
Keep in mind that the old versions of the video drivers may not be compatible with the latest update of Windows 10 and, therefore, give many problems.
You can then uninstall the current video driver by opening the Device Management tool, looking for it in the Control Panel.
from Device Manager, find the Video Cards section and uninstall the one by right clicking on it and choosing Uninstall.
When the computer restarts, Windows should automatically install the required driver using the Windows Update system.
If this does not happen, I refer you to the guide to download and install updated AMD or NVIDIA video card drivers.
