Hi Tyler,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

Let me help you fixing the issue.

To understand the issue better, please provide us more information.

• 
  What is the make and model of the computer?
  
• 
  Have you installed the latest drivers available for Windows 10?
  

This happens most often when playing graphic intensive games or when playing high quality videos. It can also happen with any process that uses a large amount of graphic resources, such as when editing or creating videos.
Let’s try simple steps and check if this in resolving the issue. Follow the below steps provided.

Step 1.

I would suggest you to update the Display driver from Device Manager manually and check if this helps. Follow the below steps:

• 
  Press (Windows key + X) and click on “Device Manager”.
  
• 
  Expand “Display Adaptor”.
  
• 
  Right click on the driver device and select
  update.
  
• 
  Once update is done, restart the computer.
  

If the issue still persist, try the below step:

Step 2:

Go to the computer manufacturer’s website and search for the latest Windows 10 drivers available for all the devices on the computer and then install them by following the instructions given in the website. And let us know the statues.

Hope this helps. If you need further assistance with Windows, let us know and will be glad to help.

 

What will happen on Jan 20, 2016?


Strollin: I understand your suggestion, but that means I'll have to re-install all my sofftware etc. again. This is not an enticing thought at all.

LCDR: I tried the old activation code I used before - it is the same on you posted.

I tried the steps listed at the WinAero site. Last one failed because it said the server could not be located. But I did get the Jan 20, 2016 date back. So that's something.
