    It looks to me as if you need to update your graphics drivers.

    Visit your MB website or update directly from the AMD graphics website.

    My GPU is AMD Radeon HD 6670, a legacy GPU with a legacy software. Cannot update from the current version of the software as the website already mentioned it.

    What can I do to prevent it?

    It might be worth rolling back to an earlier driver as yours is an old card. Try one from 2015.
