System Information:
Operating system: Windows 10 Pro

Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M, intel(r) hd graphics 4000

Blender Version:
Broken: 4.2 (newest) July 1-20
Worked: 4.1 or 4.1.2, (I forgot)

Short Version of Error:
EEVEE: When in Eevee rendering, when I click material preview, blender crashes and in rendered view, but for some reason it works when I minimize the screen enough, it works but everything is SO SLOW
CYCLES: In Cycles rendering, when you click the material preview, it crashes but also works when minimized the window enough and is also SO VERY SLOW in material preview, but in rendered view it is surprisingly fast now, I like it but I still cannot go to material preview without complications.
BOTH: even in a simple project with just the default cube, the problem still happens the same way

REPLICATE STEPS:
EVEE:

Open Blender 4.2 (newest)
on any project, even just default cube one, open material preview in full-screen
it crashes
it works better if you minimize the the window before you go to material preview
its very very slow
go to render view
it crashes unless the window is minimized enough

CYCLES:

Open Blender 4.2 (newest)
on any project, even just default cube one, open material preview in full-screen
it crashes
it works better if you minimize the the window before you go to material preview
its very very slow
go to render view
it doesn't crash
it is much faster than Cycles in 4.1 version <---- I like

The file I put is is a screen recording of the issue

High Priority

Are you running blender with the integrated (intel hd 4000 you said) gpu? That might explain why material preview is so slow and even crashes.

Please use Help > Save System Info and upload the system info file, and also crash logs instructions here.

GT640M should be enough to run blender as it should support OpenGL 4.4 , could you try forcing blender to run in discrete graphics in your nvidia control panel and see if it works?

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same issue after updating to 4.2.
Never had a problem before.

@Branko-Pesich could you upload GPU debug logs as well?

@YimingWu Everything was solved after I updated my NVIDIA driver!

I figured out how to fix it on my windows PC, I updated my NVIDIA driver, Is there a way to update a Mac processor driver?
