Short description of error
In any scene, low or high poly, as soon as I switch to texture paint mode blender crashes. While I am unable to attach a file at this time, this bug applies even to base blender start-up file, which also immediately crashes upon selecting texture paint mode. Could this be an issue with my CPU? I have reloaded factory settings and even installed earlier versions of blender, this problem remains consistent. Thank You.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  1. Open blender.
  2. Switch to texture paint mode.

@Heath Khan (Gwiley23),
Please always test with the latest release (2.76)

Its highly likely that this bug is specific to your hardware/driver configuration.
These kinds of display issues are often caused by OpenGL driver bugs.

While its possible a software error in Blender, its worth checking if this functions correctly...

  • After upgrading graphics card drivers.
  • On a different system (with different hardware/drivers).
  • Using a Software OpenGL renderer...

If this is a driver bug, or we can't link to this to an error in Blender's code, the report may be closed as a driver error,
so please help us determine whether this is a bug in Blender or not.
