Editor crashes with black screen, video drivers restart

I could just build the project and sit and wait for it to crash, so this happens just by having the editor running.

I’ve basically created every kind of project there is, the editor still crashes. I checked the performance on the pc while I have the editor running and not much ram is being used and CPU load peaks at 60% the most.

The only thing I noticed that the hard drive is being used at its fullest read/write while running the editor takes a lot longer on that drive I UE4.

I have tried other versions of UE4(4.0.2, 4.4.3, etc) the editor still crashes on windows 10. so far I’ve read that the latest version of windows 10 is causing many issues like the display driver resetting which is what is happening in this case.

you have an option so that when the editor loses access to the display device it should prompt before trying to acquire it again.
