Problem: COD crashes intermittently during boot (sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes up to an hour). On startup it displays "GPU device driver version (0.0.0) does not meet recommended (22.9.1) for running COD." Despite drivers being current. System freezes completely, producing a buzzing noise through headphones, then restarts after about 10 seconds.
Notes: BIOS does not appear on startup; it shows "input not supported" until Windows loads. This seems unrelated to the monitor issue, as BIOS works fine with other displays.
Resolution Attempted: Updated GPU drivers and Windows; installed chipset drivers; removed all GPU drivers via DDU, reinstalled latest versions. Drivers removal failed with only basic ones. RAM, storage, and device counts appear correct.
Advice: Consider checking GPU drivers, BIOS updates, and ensuring no background services conflict.
Resolving the issue by updating the BIOS appears to work, keep it saved just in case others face a similar situation.
