Update Your GPU Drivers

Graphics card drivers enable your hardware to run bleeding-edge game visuals. But they need constant updating as new gaming tech arrives. Outdated drivers often underpin playback crashes like error 224000.

To update:

Hardware acceleration uses your graphics card to process video, boosting performance. But can cause conflicts resulting in error 224000.
