Keep getting a repeating Crash when changing texture filter mode

I get this crash report most times I try to change the texture filter mode to nearest. Any help would be super appreciated. I also get similar crashes when using the material editor. Overall UE4 is just very unstable on this computer but I’m not sure why.

Hello Sean,
I have seen this problem pop out in the past a few times. For most cases that I read about you just need to update your DirectX and Graphics Drivers. I see you have nVidia so I would say try that first, worked for me in the past.
You could have a look in here too. Check the 2nd comment under the post maybe this will work for you since you’re using laptop. I would backup my work right away in case the problem escalate to the point where your project stops working. You could also disable real-time updates when dealing with materials. It’s frustrating when everything keeps refreshing after you move a node, especially if you have an old PC (like me :P)
