AutoCAD 2018 - White Graphic turn to Orangey Brown during 2D/3D

Can anyone help in curing a small graphics problem?

 

I work in 2D and 3D within the same drawing but for some reason when in paperspace all the white graphics turn to a orangey brown colour. The only way to correct it, is to turn the "graphicsconfig" hardware acceleration settings off then on again. This happens quite regularly on my machine. I've come across this a few times before but I can't remember why this happens or where to fix it.

 

If you can help, please contact me.

Thank

Andrew O'Harro

Hi,

>> The only way to correct it, is to turn the "graphicsconfig" hardware acceleration settings off

This is obviously a graphic card issue.  In most cases, turning OFF the hardware acceleration can fix this. so i suggest to keep it off or update your graphic card drivers. also you can find here >> Click << certified and recommended graphics hardware and drivers.

That graphics driver made my pc run slower in CAD so I've gone back to the actual Dell driver for NVidia M5000M recommended on there website.

It's no good just turning off the graphics accelerator as graphics are shocking.

Thanks for the input anyway - I'll live with the issue.
