Generally, your own system has been used for a long time, and you will have a magical intuition when you encounter some subtle problems. Don't ignore this intuition, which is good for solving problems.

If there is no graphics card replacement, it is difficult to determine whether the graphics card can work stably with a simple method, especially when there are problems in some specific working modes.

I suggest you change to another version of the graphics card driver to test it. If the problem persists, you can initially eliminate the problem caused by the graphics card driver.

Then I suggest you do some operations that take up a lot of memory resources, such as opening multiple different types of applications or simply running memory detection software to eliminate the possibility of memory failure;

Check the temperature of the graphics card chipset with the system detection software again. Generally, 3D operations will return errors, which is related to the high temperature of the graphics card.

Finally, if possible, I suggest you reinstall a bare-metal system and test it again.

If the problem cannot be solved after the above attempts, it is recommended to contact the dealer for after-sales support.

As for the fact that IE in VM often fails to start, it may be related to your memory itself, memory management program or VM virtual machine software itself, so you can only test it slowly.
