- Did you try searching info about this issue on search engine? Please write **No** or any URL to this issue bellow

4. How did you get this error? Are there any steps to procedure it?

1. This Usually occurs when i am Browsing the web and i click on the 2nd monitor(i have a dual monitor setup).
2. As soon as i click on any of the application on the second screen while browsing the web, Parrot OS freezes, Also the ctrl+atl+f1 does'nt work aswell.
3. And the only way to get things working again is to have a reboot, which is getting annoying.

5. Error log or screenshot

** Insert error log and screenshot here**

6. If you have any idea or suggestion about this issue please tell us

** Your information **
i think this has to do with my graphics card (Its Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti ) and because of that i am getting the error. i have a feeling that the graphics card has something to do with the error.

If you are having suggestion for our OS, please write it bellow

Also if this problem cant be solved here, can you please maybe direct me somewhere or to someone who knows how to solve this, because this problem is really getting annoying for me. I have been thinking about changing from Parrot os to something else for a long time now.

Personally, never had an Nvidia.

There is a page on Nvidia in Parrot Docs: https://docs.parrotlinux.org/info/gpu-drivers/

Here is a recent Nvidia problem thread (with sucessful outcome). May provide insight: https://community.parrotsec.org/t/nvidia-graphics-card-issue/14880

Nvidias UNIX/Linux drivers page: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/

You may find helpful to search Google/DuckDuckGo for “Solved” threads containing your card name. Being that Parrot is based off of Debian, steps should be the same.

Up to you there. Being you have access to the same Linux kernel, switching distros won’t necessarily fix anything (unless it does the work for you). You can install same graphics drivers across distros.

Someone else with Nvidia may chime in with first hand experience. I suggest starting with the first link I pasted on getting proprietary drivers installed. And if all else fails you can try Nvidia’s forums as another resource.
