Resizing Renderview Crashes Max

Resizing the Arnold IPV/Renderview crashes 3Ds max instantly.
I´ve reinstalled 3Ds Max, Maxtoa, reset to factory settings etc.
Nothing works. It makes it impossible to work with.

See attached video.

I just updated to maxtoa 5.7.6.0, hoping it would be fixed, but it´s not.
3Ds Max 2025.3, Maxtoa 5.7.6.0. Clean install (no plugins etc), Windows 11.
Think it started with v2025.1 or .2

SOLVED: After doing various things, i fixed it by completely removing the graphics drivers (Nvidia) using DDU.
After reinstalling, it works again. *phew*

Resizing Render View in 3ds Max may crash due to outdated GPU drivers, corrupted preferences, or plugin conflicts. Update your graphics drivers, reset 3ds Max preferences, and disable third-party plugins to fix the issue.

I found the real issue a while back.
I have two graphics cards in my PC. RTX 2080 Ti and a RTX 4090.
If my monitor is connected to the 2080 TI, Arnold will crash when resizing the render view. Always.
Arnold ofc uses the RTX 4090 as does my whole system and only my monitor is using the 2080.
The 4090 lacks a USB-C port for my Cintiq. Thus i have opted to use the RTX 2080 Ti with my monitors when using the cintiq.

So now i have to keep switching the HDMI cable when using the Cintiq screen and if i´m using 3Ds max. Annoying. But at least i know the real cause.
