GPU driver timeout fix
Some methods to fix GPU driver timeout/freeze.
Upgrade BIOS firmware if you can¶
Check the product support page and upgrade to the latest BIOS version. (My PN53 mini PC was saved by a BIOS upgrade)
Upgrade / Downgrade GPU drivers¶
For more stability, boot Windows in safe mode and run display driver uninstaller (DDU) to remove the existing GPU driver.
