External Drive Stops Responding

I have a Western Digital 500GB Studio Edition. The drive works fine with transferring small amounts of data (a few GBs), but when I try to use Time Machine to back my whole computer up (~70GB), at some point the drive stops responding. There is no pattern as to where when it stops working, it could be 17kb, it could be 69BG, but I have never been able to complete a backup.
What happens is that after a certian amount of time, the drive just stops responding. The "Ready light" is on, as if it is just waiting for me to use it, and Time Machine thinks it is still backing up, but its not. This also happens outside of Time Machine, if I just have the drive running for a while, the drive stops working. This is also accompanied by Finder freezing up until I unplug the drive. Sometimes (but not every time) I also have to unplug the drive from the outlet in order to get it to respond again.
This may be unrelated, but I am using Firewire 800, which, as I understand, should be able to transmit data at 800MB/s, but it is dramatically less than that. Again, the speed varies, but it is usually around just a few MB per second. I understand that this vary with the drive and computer, but I think that a year old drive/MBP should be able to transfer data close to 800MB/s.
I have a windows partition, and I experienced the same problems, especially when playing game stored on the drive. I recently got an eSATA ExpressCard, but unfortunately the drivers are only available for Windows. I haven't had any problems with the drive not responding since I have been using the ExpressCard, and data transfers have been very fast (again, not sure how fast, but games now run like they did on my internal hard drive).
I made sure my drivers were updated, I even installed the "WD Turbo Drivers". The Partition Map Scheme is GUID Partition Table. Under Energy Settings in System Preferences, I unchecked the box "Put the Hard Disk to sleep when possible".
I can't seem to find anyone else who has had this problem in the forums, or elsewhere. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You're probably right, that it's some problem with the drive. You might want to search this forum for similar posts, also see what Western Digital might have to say. I don't have any experience with WD, but some drives have sleep/inactivity settings that don't play well with TM.
But to be sure there isn't a TM problem, like a file it doesn't like, download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget from: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/timemachinebuddy.html. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window.
If you see something there that seems suspicious, copy and post the messages here (be sure to get them all, as sometimes they overflow the small window).

    FW800 has a theoretical limit of 800 mb/s - that's mega bits (not bytes). The firewire bridge chip and hard drive's ability to spool do not usually even come close to that theoretical limit.
    Still it sounds like your hard drive is not working. I'd get everything off it, reformat it and start over.
    The reality of the situation is your mybook is not designed for video editing. I guess they do back ups fine but not much else. Your best path would be to either a) get an external hard drive designed to be used for editig - Caldigit, granite digital, etc or, if your computer suppports them, populate your internal bays with sata drives and use those as media drives.
    Good luck.

  • Satallite P300 PSPC4A - atikmdag driver stopped responding

    hello all,
    I have this weird this with my laptop going on, maybe some of you heard of it. this is what happens first my screen flashes then, I see a warning at the lower right of the screen "Youre atikmdag driver stopped responding" then, it flashes again and it says you're atikmdag driver is successfully recovered.
    This happens a few times and the the screen stays black... then i need to hold the power button for 10 sec to turn it off.
    after this all it wont start normally, the screens stays black and need to reset a lot and only sometimes it starts normally.
    I really need help!!!
    Something i found myself:
    When i start it up and the screen is black i can see on a external monitor. i can only start it in save mode then
    Thanks in advance

    Everything is possible. The fact is that recovery image is tested and with factory settings everything should work well.
    Ive checked Toshiba Knowledge base and Toshiba has noticed this issue with old Satellite A210 and it was solved with latest BIOS and latest display driver.
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb/60/TSB8100R30000R01.htm
    Have you tried to read about it in different forums? This issue is nothing new and many desktop and laptop users report about this. Use Google and read a little bit about it.
    BTW: use advanced search on this forum and put *atikmdag* as searched therm. You will find many threads with the same theme.

  • "Display ATI Radeon Family driver stopped responding and has recovered"

    For the past few days my laptop Model HP G61-409CA has been displaying broken black and white horizontal lines and black, white, and coloured random squares on my screen. When it freezes the screen and mouse stops moving and the screen goes blank for about 5 seconds then comes back with the error (Display ATI Radeon Family driver stopped responding and has recovered) appears with a yellow triangle. Unfortunetly when i click on the triangle nothing opens up.
    Ive tried to download Catalyst Control Centre because when I researched many people spoke about not being able to find their control centre and that it had something to do with the displaying error on the screen. I cant seem to find the folder or the program on my computer, but when i tried to install something similar from http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/mobile?os=Windows%207%20-%2064#amd-catalyst-packages less than half way through the computer displayed a Blue screen and had to shut down. Also when i recovered my laptop the problem did not go away.
    My product number : WA964UA#ABC
    OS: Windows 7 for x64 based systems
    Please let me know what needs to be done ive tried updating all my drivers aswell!

    Hi Quesspee,
    Thank you for your query, I am happy to assist you!
    I grasp that a few days ago your  display started  showing broken black and white horizontal lines and black, white, and coloured random squares on your screen . When it freezes the screen and mouse stops moving and the screen goes blank for about 5 seconds then comes back with the error (Display ATI Radeon Family driver stopped responding and has recovered) appears with a yellow triangle. When you clicked on the triangle, nothing happened.
    You tried installing the Catalyst Control Center and approximately 1/2 through, you received a blue screen and your system  shut down.
    You tried doing a recovery but the issue remained.
    I suggest you test for hardware failures.  Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7)
    If this did not help to locate the issue, I suggest contacting HP support for further assistance.  They have the ability to remotely log onto your system, to  help locate and resolve issues.

  • 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...

  • Windows 8.1 Nvidia Windows Kernel Mode Driver Driver stopped responding and recovered?

    I have the newst version of the 15" MBP Retina with the Haswell chip and Nvidia GT 750m.  The problem I started having about 1 week ago is intermittent it seems, but involves the graphics driver when I'm in windows.
    The screen goes flashes to black for about 5 seconds then recovers and the display comes back up.  It just continues to do this every 10-15 seconds and the error messages displayed is "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered"  below that it says Display driver Nvidia Windows Kernel Mode Driver Vers.####### stopped responding and has successfully recoverd.
    What's crazy is the problem is not limited to any particular version of the driver!  I used system restore and went back a few weeks just to make sure, thinking it was just a conflict with a new update somewhere.  I have tried to install old versions of the 64-bit Geforce driver and it is irrelevant, the problem keeps cropping back up. I dont' know what to do, and can't even function in the Windows side hardly at all for very long.
    Please help
    Thanks
    Robert

    Hi Robert, 
    I dont know if this will help you, but yesterday when I logged into Win 8.1 on the same rMBP as you I got an update notice for a new driver for the NVIDIA graphics card.  
    This is the driver that I got the notice for. http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/73780/en-us
    You may want to download this and try installing it. 
    Good Luck

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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!!!

    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'

  • Satellite A500 - NVIDIA driver stopped responding and has recovered

    Hello.
    I have a TOSHIBA Satellite A500-1GP. I bought this laptop 1 mounth ago, and from 2 weeks before I start to have problem with it. The screen it goes black, like 2-3 seconds, after is appear this message " Nvidia driver stopped responding and has recovered" Is really start to stressing me. I install the laptop with all his original driver, and his original Windows 7. I didn't make any reinstall, or something else.
    The updates ar UP TO DATE, and I have no ideea what he should want from my life. Like this are all the new models ? Start to make problems from the begining ? I'm waiting some answers..
    Thanks..

    My config:
    - Toshiba Satellite A500-1GR
    - Process: Intel Core i5
    - RAM: 4096 Mo DDR3
    - Graphic card: nVidia GeForce GT 330M
    I had the same problem the graphic driver installed was the 258.96 Version. I kept it up-to-date using nVidia official web site... Afterwards, I believe I was wrong to do so.
    I did as you suggested.
    - I went to the [Toshiba Support Center|http://fr.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/SUPPORT_PORTAL/]
    - I downloaded and installed the 20/08/10 BIOS Update
    - I downloaded and installed the 08/06/10 Display Driver
    After that, I checked the version of the GeForce GT 330M driver, it's now 188.75.
    I have no problem since I did this in the beginning of this afternoon. What a relief !
    Thank for your Support!
    If I encounter the issue again, I will notify it in this thread, but I hope this issue is solved and that I won't need to!

  • 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.
