Display driver stops responding but recovers every2 or 3 startups

Hi All
All the following started after my free download from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1
I get some flashes then a black screen for a second then computer is ok however I get the following message
" Display Driver stopped responding and has recovered.
   Display driver Intel Graphics display driver for Windows 8.R
   stopped responding and has recovered sucessfully "
The notice then fades away.
Every now and then ( at least 6 times now ) I get a notice from windows that offers to solve a problem with Intel Graphics driver, It tells me to click here to download the update from ASUTeK Computer Inc.
I down load the update as suggested and when finished get the following
                                 ERROR
This computer does not meet theRequirements for installing this software
Windows then asks me if this information was helpful and I check the NO box, in about 3 weeks I then get the identical message.
I am afraid the darn thing will not recover sometime and I will be left with a black screen forever ?
Can Anyone help ??

Post your full model number!!
You must follow the Toshiba upgrade instructions when upgrading from Windows 8 to 8.1, the instructions are here -http://support.toshiba.com/sscontent?contentId=4003162
If you do follow the instruction you will have issues, the only fix is to recovery to factory settings (refresh/reset) then start over.
These items must be un installed before updating and then re installed after updating to W 8.1, see picture:

Display driver stopped responding but recovered successfully?

I was searching on the internet and my pc froze up for a couple of minutes then a message popped up stating display driver stopped responding but recovered successfully.
What caused this to happen? Is it a bad driver? Is there a fix?
Thanks.

Hi @desert88
I saw your post regarding the display driver stopped working error message. This can be caused a number of things, too many programs or visual effects going on or the GPU taking more time then permitted to display graphics or you just might need a newer driver.
Let's look at reinstalling your graphics driver. For that I will need to know what your product number is.

HP Pavilion DV6-6077er Display driver stopped responding and has recovered

Hello!
I am using this laptop for 3rd year already. OS is Windows 7, every standard driver is downloaded from the official page and installed.
I have a problem, which sometimes occurs while using web browser, graphic-editing software and some games.
The screen starts flickering and then recovers with a message: "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered".
I am usind official AMD drivers from 2011.
Before I have tried to install unofficial drivers or drivers from AMD web site, but all of them had random BSODs and errors. Only the official driver works stable, but sometimes causes this error.
Is there any possible fix for it?

Hi Kakofonn,
At this point I would recommend doing either a System Restore to when it worked or if you don't use restore points do a full System Recovery. If you go this route make sure that you back up your information you don't want to lose. If you don't want to do that then I would recommend calling HP as they will be able to remotely login to your computer. You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 or start here if you live outside of North America.

Toshiba Satellite P500 "Display Driver stopped responding and has recovered."

I have a Toshiba Satellite P500/XEO PSPGSA - 1XE08L Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit) system. I’ve received the following random message Since I bought the computer back in 2011--- “Display Driver stopped responding and has recovered.” Since I have bought the computer I have returned it to Harvey Norman where I purchased it from for them to fix the issue. They have reformatted and whiped the computer a couple times aswell as going to the toshiba website and installing the latest drivers. I also have done the same steps as Harvey Norman.
The computer has been sent back to Toshiba also, It was overheating so Toshiba has put a new CPU into the computer to fix that issue and also the hard drive had a fault sector so Toshiba installed a new hard drive. When Toshiba had the laptop they tried to fix this issue with no result.
This issue is more annoying then anything because it happens often (a few times a day) and some of the time when the driver fails and the screen stays black, the only way you can fix this is a hard shut down by holding the off button.
I have looked at all the threads and have seen a lot of people having this problem. I have tried all the ideas and people's ways to fix this issue but nothing has worked.
This problem needs to be solved and I don't want to hear that I need to reformat my computer or restore it to factory settings like tech support have told me to do because both myself and Harvey Norman has done this and IT HASN'T Fixed the issue. This issue can't be good for the computer..
I am very dissapointed, after nearly 2 years of having this laptop the problem hasn't been fixed and Toshiba has no idea how to fix this issue. This laptop cost me over 2500 dollars and I have had more problems then I would have had with a 500 dollar computer.

No reply from Toshiba yet? Great customer service.
Anyways this is a snapshot of my screen going black and then coming back with a message popping up stating that the Display Driver has stopped responding and has recovered.
As you can see the window that I am in turns fully black after the driver recovers, I have to close the window and re open it. This happens many times a day.
I also am getting the display Driver crashing and the whole screen turns black and stays black, no matter what you do the screen stays black. I hit Cntrl + Alt + Del and nothing works making me shut it down by holding the on/off key
I do a lot of business on this computer and use it for all purposes. Due to this issue, every time the screen goes black and I have to hard restart the computer I lose all my work. Due to not knowing when this will happen I am having to lose a lot of work and start all over again.
This is ridiculous and Needs to be fixed. I am a Toshiba Customer and I have spent my money for the best of your products and I am very disappointed with the outcome. There has been no help, I have had nothing but issues and the customer service and support for your company is atrocious.
In future I will no longer be buying Toshiba and I know a lot of other people who have seen this issue and had the same problems with Toshiba support that they won't be using Toshiba either.

Prob. - ATI 4850: "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered"

Hey all!
I finally got my new iMac last week.
After installing BootCamp my graphics card driver always crashes just after starting Windows (Windows 7 Pro 64bit). I do not need to run any software but the screen shows some "glitches" => black screen => windows recovers and the message "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" appears.
The process reiterates.... just a few seconds later it happens again. Sometimes Windows crashes down completely.
I removed the driver to let Windows install it again. Nothing changend.
Does anybody know the problem and a way to fix it?
I was searching online for the mistakes and i do not know whether its a problem with Windows or the graphics driver.

I did a little bid of research:
I guess the problem is a problem known and there are a few solutions...
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/display/wddm_timeout.mspx
The solution might be to enter windows registry and change the time windows is starting to stop and restart the display driver:
Go to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers and add a new entry (DWord) "TdrDelay" with the number of seconds u want windows to restart the dislay driver. Standard seems to be 2 seconds. I found article giving advice that mentioned 4-8 seconds.
I will give it a try tonight.
Some other people mentioned that it is a problem with a combination of motherboard, cpu, graphics card and main memory. I think this cannot be a problem caused by the OS in generell. Otherwise more people would be confronted. Without a proper solution i will ask Apple for a new one or just send it back...
Others just deactivated Windows Aero and fixed it...

Satellite A500 - Display driver stopped responding

Hi,
3 weeks ago I bought brand new Toshiba A500. I post here because I didn't find any helpful solution.
Here is specification:
Processor: intel core i3 M330 2.13GHz
Graphic: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (1024 MB)
Hard drive: MJA2320BH G2 (320 GB, 5400 RPM, SATA-II)
RAM: 2X 2 GB DDR3-1066 DDR3 SDRAM (7-7-7-20 @ 533 MHz) (6-6-6-18 @ 457 MHz)
Audio: Realtek ALC272 @ Intel Ibex Peak PCH
System: Windows 7 64bit - directed from Toshiba
The issue is: at random situations, the screen is turn black for a couple of seconds, then the message is pop up saying "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered - display driver NVIDIA Kernel Mode Driver, Version 187.98 stopped responding and has successfully recovered." It happens several times per day.
Sometimes display driver can't be recovered and than system hangs and must be reset. Problem occur at first day after five minutes of using (when there wasn't install anything without OS).
Problem occurs always during normal working with applications (MS office, firefox, etc.). It's completely random - there in not two the same situations - so when I watch hd films in youtube on full screen it crashes several times, but when I restart OS and than play the same movie it works correctly.
Application causes this problem is called TDR (Time-out Detection and Recovery).
This application reset GPU when didn't get respond during 2 sec. But in Windows7 registry doesn't have entries controlled this application.
Since than I tried following solutions:
- BIOS update;
- System reinstall;
- Display driver update to version 197.16;
- Checking temperature on graphic card (when issue occurs temperature on graphic card didn't exceed 47deg, and processor 36deg);
- Java update (older version of Java can causes some device problems);
- Adobe update (same as Java);
- Turn off aero;
- Windows 7 updates;
- Turn off audio (realtek card);
None of them works.
The problem didn't occur during playing games (i.ex. Witcher). I can play 8 hours and nothing weird happens.
I notice also that problem occurs during opening some applications or entering new tasks (when energy demand rapidly increases).
I wondering that is some driver problem or I should return the laptop to the service.
I suspect that problem can be to big difference in voltage on graphic card but I can't verified that.
If somebody meet with this problem I will appreciate any help.

hi,
i had the same issue with my A500-1dn equipped with GT 230 M, getting the message ,,Display driver stopped responding,,. I updated the card graphic driver from nvidia.com 3 weeks ago and since that time it' s gone ( I hope forever).

Re: Satellite U500-PSU9ME - display driver stopped responding

Since I purchased the laptop I had a problem with the display driver.
The screen keeps blackout and comes back after a second with the massage display driver stopped responding and has recovered, I wish I can attach a screenshot. The laptop have nVidia card on it.
The dealer replaced it for me but even with the new one, it comes each day once or twice
This is my 1st Toshiba, I always heard they are good but now I am kind of confused!
Anyone had this problem and could solve it? Please help.
Note: i updated all drivers.

Why not? Driver stops responding only when cpu cooler runs on minimal rpm, seems to me, that fan rpm basically depend on cpu heat (_not_ gpu).
Very good solution, but I have a question: would you buy a server that works only when you disable lan card? would you buy a car which can turn only left?
No matter. Never the less, I'm satisfied with how the Intel i3 and Nvidia 310m works.
The thing i DO NOT like and which concerns manufacturer directly is keyboard. I don't know who designed flat buttons, but it's the worst keyboard I seen EVER. You can realize my disappointment, changing eeepc to u500 expecting better and getting THIS. They could at least have upgrade for keyboard replacement, the part that cost $50 spoils $1100, wonderful...
:( I imagined my fist toshiba as much happier thing...

SLI GTX 970 Nvlddmkm "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" Error

Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with driver crashes and was hoping someone on here would be able to help. The error I am getting is: Nvlddmkm "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered".
My PC specs are:
Windows 8.1 Pro
i7 4770k with Corsair H100i
2x 8GB HyperX RAM
Asus Maximus VII Ranger Mobo
2x MSI GTX 970's
750w Superflower Leadex PSU
I've noticed that the error usually happens while the cards are cooling down after playing a game, although it has been known to occasionally happen while gaming. I am have MSI Afterburner running and have noticed that the GPU usage spikes up to 100% then the power usage drops completely just before the crash.
This problem has persisted through 3 clean OS installs so I do not believe it is a driver issue.
My initial thoughts were that the PSU could be insufficient, but after some reading online my system really shouldn't draw anywhere near 750w. What do you think? I am not totally clued up on PSU's, so not sure if my wiring could also be causing the issue - here's a pic:
The cards use a single cable that joins both cards for both 8-pins, then two other power cables for the 6-pin. Would this be a problem?
It's also worth noting that the issue doesn't seem to occur when SLI is disabled. I never had any problems with the original card prior to adding a second card though so I do not think it needs RMA'ing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciate. Thanks in advance.

Quote from: Svet on 08-June-15, 17:36:36
oki remove the second card[your old one] and test the newest card only
I will try this tomorrow, thanks.
A bit more info, it crashes with SLI disabled. Just found out tonight for definite.
Here is a screenshot of what MSI Afterburner shows when it crashes.

Msi GT683R "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" error.

I bought a laptop before 6 months, installd windows 7 x64 and everything works fine. Suddenly, five days before I got this eror " Display driver stopped responding and has recovered ... "but the laptop operates normally, when not connected to the charger, the only difference is that the graphics card works only on P8 state 203/606/324. I've tried everything, install new windows, tried all the video drivers back 6 version, tried two different chargers, raised the voltage in the video card, flash the latest BIOS, flash latest EC driver, changed several types of RAM memory, installed win xp x64, all drivers are from MSI's website, tested temperatures (everything is fine, no overheating), blew video card out of the dust, new thermal paste, tried to change the regedit key (Microsoft recommend), the last windows update, etc, etc. I tried to OC video card with MSI Afterburner, but does not want to accept the clock (last nvidia driver version 314.07) ... On various forums I saw that a lot of people have a similar problem, but not the one topic has a problem with the charger. I tried all sorts of modifications to the 3D nvidia utility. Currently I run out of ideas, I thank you in advance for your help!!!

Hi "I have an MSI G683R and the problem started a month ago, but sometimes pc freezes, crashes or restarts, mainly for running games; temperature problems've never had as constantly monitoring GPU and CPU and never exceed 80 degrees, I have the latest drivers for all devices, besides that I have always been maintained by removing all traces of dust inside the pc.
I have tested the RAM, hard drive, CPU and passed without any problems, including stress testing the GPU and everything ok ", but as soon as the pc game freezes.
The funny thing is that this never happens while I play with the battery without direct current is connected, but it is annoying the fact the battery only play for an hour.
Please start your own topic/thread, and do not use someone elses. This is in the FAQ for the forums.

Display driver stopped responding and has recovered successfully

Hi everyone!
I  sometimes have recently been encountering this error 'Display driver stopped responding and has recovered successfully' .
This is the version of ATI RADEON Graphics adapter.
This problem is happening recently (let me say about five months ago)
I really don't know what may be causing this problem. However, I have created a virtual machine before about only 3 days with these settings:
Host machine has Windows 7 home premium (64Bit), and the mount of memory available is as follows:
Physical Memory
Memory Usage 34 %
Total Physical 5.95 GB
Available Physical 3.89 GB
Total Virtual 12 GB
Available Virtual 9.43 GB
Guest machine has Windows 7 home prmium 64bit, and the mount of memory available is as shown below, I really needed to this RAM memory size because the Windows 7 got very slow with less than this size.
Host machine has Graphic adapter with memory size of 6GB
guest machine hat his video adapter settings below, because I really needed to this video memory size.
But, as I said I have been facing this error for about five months before VM was created.  Thus, I don't think that the problem is related with VM's video display.
Also, sometime when visiting some sites containing video files needing Adobe Flash player, I was faced with that error and the browser got non-responding and then, it got closed.
It would be highly appreciated if you could help me with this.

Hi Cooperator ,
As I see , your catalyst is from 2011.You can use AMD Driver Autodetect Tool.The AMD Driver Autodetect Tool is designed to detect the model of the AMD graphics card and the version of the Microsoft® Windows operating system installed in your computer. If a new driver is available, the tool is designed to help you download it. After a successful download of the driver, the tool will provide you an option to install it.
Download page:
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/auto-detect-tool
After that ,open Catalyst control center, and set your programs to performance that you want to run.
It should solve your problem , this error comes when graphic card need more time that win register alow (about 2sec) , and with right drivers , it shoul fix it.
Wish you good luck and all the best!!!

Thanks a lot,
When I tried downloading the tool from that link you provided as circled in this screen shot below
After amddriverdownload_installer was downloaded, I run it, then another wndows showed me
Then after download completed,
this show me.
I found the tool cannot be downloaded due to incompatible hardware/software on my computer,
Although tool couldn not be downloaded, there are some files in this locatin after clicking install.
As aside, this window below showed me while downloading the tool, then I don't know what let it show me.
Is it OK or should I uninstall it if it were installed
Also, AMD Gaming evolved was installed without asking my permission.
It is installed as 'Raptr.exe' in this location 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Raptr'
Also, whenever my Windows 7 got started, this windows showed me, although I didn't set any account for this, there is accont longins as you see in this screen shot belw.
This raises another question which is what created this account shown above?

Satellite A500-1GH - display driver stopped responding and has successfully

My laptop is the A500-1GH and I bought it 2 days ago...
My problem is that for the fourth time the monitor went black and then recovered and I'm getting the message "display driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered". My graphics card is the Nvidia GeForce 330.
I would appreciate it if someone knows what should I do to fix this
Thank you in advance

Hi Guys,
I have experienced _*both*_ problems with my A500/O2J with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330m graphics card. Only purchased it Monday 15th February. Everything came factory installed except Office Professional 2007.
Set it up on Tuesday and it happened within 2 hours of set up, then again on the Wednesday. On the first 2 occurrances the display went black and recovered after a few seconds with a message along the lines of "graphic card driver has stopped responding and has successfully restored" then today (Friday 19/2) the screen went black and didn't come back on. I thought it had gone in to sleep mode but pressing the power button did nothing. After about 20 minutes I got the Blue Screen saying the system was shutting down to prevent unecessary damage and it then proceeded to restart.
I'm computer illiterate when it comes to this technical stuff and rang the place of purchase who told me to ring Toshiba (133 070). Of course being in the West they are closed so I will have to wait until Monday (1st day back at Uni).
Not off to a good start....so i hope this problem can be rectifed quickly and without too much fuss.
My computer specs are as follows;
A500/O2J
Intel Core i5 processor
Windows 7 Home premium (32 bit)
4GB memory
500Gb Sata storage
NVidia GeForce GT 330M graphics
Karmon/Kardon speakers
Everything came factory pre-installed except printer and Office Professional 2007 but both were installed after the problem occured the first time.

[W500 and Windows 7] ati display driver stopped responding and has recovered

Hi,
I installed Windows 7 64bit on my W500 (almost 3 weeks old). It installed a driver for the ATI display card from Windows Update. However, since yesterday, I regularly get a driver crash (I assume...).
It's happening when I'm scrolling in a webpage, suddenly the page hangs, the mouse and Windows itself hangs seconds later and after that, after 5 seconds, my screen goes black, the machine beeps and it's back. In the tray, I get an error: ati display driver stopped responding and has recovered.
In the details of the driver, the following can be seen:
Driver Date: 28/04/2009
Driver Version: 8.612.0.0
The card is recognized as a 3650.
Am I doing something wrong here? Can I test with another driver (I tried installing the Windows Vista 64bit, but it doesn't seem to be willing to install...)?
Thanks in advance,
gill

I have the exact same hardware and software (Win7 64) and I'm getting precisely the same symptoms, screen blanks out when I am scrolling a web page vertically using the trackpoint and the center blue trackpoint scroll button.
It's really annoying.
It also never happens when the laptop is in the dock, or when the integrated graphics are engaged, this only happens when the ATI chip is running and only since ATI released the new Windows 7 drivers.
Previously I'd ran this box on on Win7 64 but used the Vista 64 bit graphics drivers from ATI and didn't have the problem, but installation was a pain.

Far Cry 4 - Display driver stopped responding and has recovered

After several hours of play without driver crash i get today first driver crash in Far Cry 4.. Application stopped. Then i saw on events: Nvlddmkm Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. Its very random , sometimes i can play even 24 hours without driver crash and sometimes like today its crashed driver after 5 minutes of started game.
Its problem with driver or my its just my card? ( i am using stock Gtx 980 ). I am using the newest drivers. All other games runs without even single crash. I tested Unigine Heaven for 10 hours, without crash. I tested Metro Last Light for few hours without crash too.
Only Far Cry 4 sometimes crash after 5 minutes,but mostly often i can play 24 hours without driver crash.
Using 347.88 WHQL.
All my pc is stock, cpu is 4790k stock. GPU is on stock too.
From what i know,crashing display driver Nvlddmkm its always graphic card ( hardware ) failure? Rma graphic card?
TDR's are always happening because of "bad/broken" hardware?Or it can be software too?

Well add proper specs: >>Posting Guide<<

MSI GT70 0ND : Display driver stopped responding and has recovered

Hi,
I just bought a MSI GT70 0ND 1212xfr :
CPU : i7-3630QM
GPU : Nvidia GTX 675MX
RAM : 8 Go
HDD : 750 Go 7200 trs/min
OS : Windows 8.1 (installed by myself)
I tried several drivers but i always get this error message when the laptop has to switch on the GTX 675MX instead of the Intel HD4000 :
Quote
Display driver stopped responding and has recovered.
But finally the GTX 675MX is not enabled so i can't use my graphic card.

Already done and it didn't change anything but i found a temporary solution : i set the nvidia parameters to start my game with the GTX, the message still appears but next the game is running with the GTX. I didn't try with another game. I hope it will works too.
