Photoshop, IGPU, GPU issues are common. Check settings and updates.
You're dealing with a tricky setup in Photoshop CS6. It sounds like you're experiencing issues when using both your dedicated GPU and the integrated GPU (IGPU). The crashes and errors happen specifically when the IGPU is enabled, suggesting a conflict between the two display drivers. Since turning off the second monitor resolves the problem, it implies that having both active at once causes instability. You might want to try forcing Photoshop to use only your dedicated GPU by adjusting settings or using system preferences, but you'll need to figure out how to disable the IGPU safely without disrupting your workflow. Let me know if you'd like more detailed steps!
To connect the two monitors, you must link them to the GPU via the integrated HDMI port. It doesn’t matter if you use the dedicated HDMI port or not—just ensure the correct connection is made.
The second display is linked to the IGPU for fast synchronization. The monitor attached to the dedicated GPU remains configured as the main one.
