Whenever I scrub through the timeline in Premiere Pro 2017, my PC crashes and restarts. One time it crashed, and I got a notification in the bottom right corner which said that the application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware.

I'm running Windows 10 Pro 64bit and I have an MSI GTX 1070.

Please help.

It could be the 1070 problem that has been around that micron memory makes the driver crash or unstable, even at stock speed. If you download GPU-Z and check if you have Samsung or Micron memory. you can download it here https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

If you got Micron i would suggest to update your bios on your gpu. you can find it on a site simmular to this https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/support/GeForce-GTX-1070-GAMING-X-8G.html#down-bios PS: i don't know wich model you have of MSI so you kinda have to find the right one.

If you got Samsung i have to google some more :p

I updated the GPU's BIOS which was indeed need of an update. I do have Micron memory. Still no change. Premiere pro still randomly crashes. I'm thinking this issue is so difficult to figure out that I may as well take it into a tech store to get it fixed at this point. Crazy.

Is there anything else that could be causing the problem? like a software conflict?

Could be a software conflict, i saw in the geforce forum post that somone had to disable windows defender and that fix it. Is it only in that program you experiance crashes or others aswell?

If there are nothing else that are crashing, i would probebly try to contact the support for the program. I dont think a tech store will be able to fix much tbh

check this post too https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/732750/geforce-700-600-series/application-has-been-blocked/5/ seems like some people have fix their issue, maybe you have the same situation in some cases.

Btw a new driver came yesterday after i posted.. so if you want to try that one too http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/111032/en-us

I have nothing more to come with right now
