Description

System Information
Operating system: Windows 10
Graphics card: ASUS R5 230 Series

Blender Version
Broken: 2.82a
Worked: unk

While drawing with grease pencil Blender hangs. I can draw several stokes before this happens. Work around is to force it to close and then reopen. Windows 10 event reports "The program blender.exe version 2.8.2.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed."

I've uninstalled/reinstalled Blender, I see this behavior on 2 different PCs.

Open a 2D file and start drawing something.

The AMD Radeon R5 230 doesn't fulfill the minimum requirements for running Blender 2.8x. It has the TeraScale 2 microarchitecture, but GCN first generation or later is required. This is most likely the cause of the problem, unless the second computer has hardware that fulfills the minimum requirements. Can you please report what hardware the other computer uses (e.g. through Help > Save System Info)?

The other PC has the same graphics card.

I upgraded to a GeForce 1030 video card and the system is very stable. Renders are much faster now!
