GPU render was working prior to windows factory reset. I have re-installed graphic drivers and tried on many versions of blender.

Please open Blender's installation directory and double click on the blender_debug_log.cmd. This will start Blender in debug mode and create log files. Try to make Blender crash again. Once it crashes the Windows Explorer should open and show you up to two files, a debug log and the system information. Add them to your bug report by clicking on the upload button as shown in the screenshot below or via drag and drop. Please also upload the crash log located in C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\Temp\[project name].crash.txt (or simply type %TEMP% into the path bar of the Windows Explorer).

I clicked on blender_debug_log.cmd. It didn't start blender but directly opened windows explorer with the files.
Here are the files,

The system information are incomplete as if Blender crashed mid writing. Since this affects a wide range of Blender versions, that should definitely work on your system, please uninstall your graphics driver and do a clean installation of the most recent version. Additionally install pending OS updates. There may of course be something that broke in the OS after the reset, but that is outside of Blender and not something we can fix. You would have to look at the Windows Event Viewer in order to get more information why the crash happened.

I did a clean install of graphics driver of the recent version before and recently. Facing the same issue since 2 months. Must be windows problem. I'll check into it.

Thank you for your time.

@amitkr Where you able to resolve the issue outside of Blender?

Thanks for your concern but I haven't done anything else. Still facing the same issue. I didn't get time to format my pc. As soon as I do that I'll update here.

I have exactly the same problem, except I'm on Linux. When I open the Preferences -> System -> OpenCL, then Blender immediately crashes.

I get these messages in the console:

@pauanyu_blender Blender 3.0 removes OpenCL rendering support, can you try a 3.0 Alpha to test to see if you still get a crash trying to select GPU compute?

You can download 3.0 Alpha from https://builder.blender.org/download/daily/

@Blendify I tested 3.0 alpha and it no longer crashes (but OpenCL doesn't work either).

Does CUDA work?

Pauan commented

2021-10-21 19:45:11 +02:00

@Blendify No, because it's an AMD video card, so it doesn't support CUDA (or OptiX). That means there is no GPU rendering available for AMD cards until HIP is implemented.

Ah okay, the initial report says 960m which is a Nvidea GPU, support for HIP will likely come in Blender 3.1
