Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To be able to help you in a better way, please reply with the following details:

• May I know what you mean by "if a static shock anything on the same breaker as my pc it crashes"?
  
• What is the make and model of the motherboard and the GPU?

This issue could be due to outdated Graphics driver. I would suggest you to update the graphics driver and check if it helps. You can refer the article

Hi,

The problem could occur if the Windows is not Up-to-date or if the drivers are not compatible. Hence I suggest you to install Windows Updates first and then try installing the display drivers.

• On the search bar type Settings, Select Update & Recovery.
• This should bring up the Check for Updates window. Install updates.

Reinstall the graphics card drivers installed on the computer from manufacturer's website and check if that helps fix the issue.

Refer to the following steps to uninstall Display Device from the Device Manager:

• 
  Press Windows and X keys together.
  
• 
  Click on Device Manager.
  
• 
  Locate and Expand the Display Adapter.
  
• 
  Right-click on the Display Device.
  
• 
  Click on Uninstall.
  
• 
  Restart the PC and install the graphics card driver.
  

Hope this helps. Get back to us if the issue persists.
