LabVIEW Community Edition crashes on launch

[billko]

It might be your video card is messed up.  I've had a video card fail and take the CPU chip with it (but the video card still functioned well enough to kind of work in another computer.  This was, of course, before I realized that half of the video memory was missing.)  Maybe your failure caused something more subtle.

If you reinstalled the drivers and are still getting the same error, and no one else has any suggestions, I would say the next step is to contact NVIDIA.

Also, these driver updates typically have an option to do a fresh install (wiping all configurations) instead of just updating. Worth trying. Still, it does sound like a hardware problem. How about removing and reinserting the graphics card? Maybe there is a bad contact on one of the pins. Maybe the card is overheating. Are the fans spinning properly? Is the heat sink plugged up with dust?  Do you use any custom settings, such as aggressive overclocking?

Many modern processors contain pretty good graphics systems, so if you have also a graphics output from the motherboard, use that and temporarily remove the graphics card.

I uninstalled 2020 edition and installed LabVIEW 2017 and it is working fine. Do you still think it is the problem with hardware?

All we have to go off of is your photo of the event log, which did indicate that it was a problem with something called "NVIDIA Display Container LS service". You could try turning it off as apparently that is possible.

From some guy on some forum:

"nvsvc32.exe is the NVIDIA Display Driver Service.

Disable it, it doesn't need to run. I have had mine disabled for ages.

Disable the NVIDIA Display Driver Service...
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | OK |
Scroll down to and double click: NVIDIA Display Driver Service |
Under Startup type set to Disabled | Apply | Click the Stop button |
When it stops click OK | You may have to reboot"
