Graphic card stops working, then recovers

I recently installed the plug-in for Pixel Bender on CS5.
When I open a jpg, and choose OilPaint, with the check box for GPU, as soon as I hit the OilPaint filter, my graphics card stops working, the screen goes black for a few seconds, then comes back on. I get a message that the card stopped working, but recovered.
I surmise this is a graphics card issue, or memory, or both? I don't know for sure.
I'm using an HP PC with 6 Gb RAM, and the card is a Nvidia GeForce 9500GT. The drivers for this card are all up to date.
CS5's performance settings are: 2 scratch discs (not the boot drive) with nearly a terabyte free space on one, and about 250 Gb on the other. The program shows about 5.7 Gb of available RAM, and the preferred setting (maximum) is about 3.8 Gb. I've got it at 3.7 Gb.
When the card recovers, it takes several minutes before I can see the image in Photoshop again. Then, when I try the filter again, I uncheck the GPU box, click on the OilPaint filter, and get a window that says the process timed out, and gives me 2 options: try again or cancel. After about 6 or 7 try-agains, the image will have the filter applied. It takes another 5 or 6 tries to finish with "OK" and then the image shows up in the pane, in Photoshop.
My computer has a 350W power supply, so the GeForce 9500 GT is the biggest card I can use in it.
Is it a question of an inadequate graphics card? Or, not enough RAM?
I could install a new power supply for the PC, then get a different card, if that would solve the problem. But, since I'm not sure if this is what I need to do, could I please have some suggestions on my issue with this whole thing?
Thanks very much.

Thanks for those links. I missed them, because I just had Windows search for updated drivers, and when I told it to search online, it said that the drivers were up to date. So....well, I'm sorry I didn't check NVIDIA directly. I appreciate your help in this.
Anyway, I did install the updated drivers. I rebooted the machine, just to make sure (I checked the properties of the card, and it showed the updated driver listed).
I re-tried the OilPaint, and the card crashed, as before. It gave me this message:
"The NVIDIA OpenGL lost connection with the display driver and is unable to continue. The application must close." It then closed CS5 (Bridge remained open, though).
It said there was an Error code: 8.
Thanks again for assisting me on this. What would be the next step to resolve this?

Erazer X510 - AMD R9 290 4GB Graphics Card Stopped Working/Responding

Hi,
I recently bought a PC from amazon UK, Kindly see the link to view the PC details;
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-Erazer-Tower-Desktop-Bla...
The PC is a Lenovo Erazer X510
I had it shipped to Kenya and it arrived today. The PC seemed to work fine, I checked if the system recognized all the hardware and it did, including the AMD R9 290 Card (which it recognized). It booted well and was quite fast however it crashed about two times (The PC comes with an overclock button) and I believe it crashed after overclocking using the overclock button and I was barely maxing out the PC - I was only testing to see how Overclock works.
After the last crash, I realized the AMD Radeon graphics card stopped responding, the PC is working however the system no longer recognizes the card anymore.
Kindly advice on how to get the PC to recognize the graphics card again?
Regards,
Sam.

Hello, Unfortunately I have a very similar problem with a very similar machine (i7-4770k and R9 290)... https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-E-H-K-M-Q-and-ErazerX/LENOVO-Erazer-X510-crashes-and-restarts-in-game-from-day-1/td-p/2094705 The black screen and reboot happened in game though, never in idle state.I have sent back my machine around the 15th of May and have not received it back yet. The service center informed me that they would send it back unrepaired and I have complained here. No news since then. Good luck. JP

Flash Player causes Graphic card to crash then recover successfully on two identical systems.

Hello,
Ever since the latest update with Adobe Flash Player, I've been having problems with flash in general on my computer. My brother has the same exact computer and he also has this issue. I can uninstall Flash Player and the problem stops completely and the moment I install it again, the problem persists. I've looked just about everywhere and figured I'd post it on here for a solution.
The problem:
The graphic card crashes and then recovers successfully when using Flash Player in general (happens most of the time when listening to a playlist on youtube and when the webpage is loading/changing to the next song). It also causes blue squares to appear on my monitor in random places. Flash videos become disturted and appear as blocks of fuzzy colors representing what they should really be when in full screen watching the video.
Troubleshot to conclude it was Flash Player:
I did extensive research and troubleshooting on my end, the problem started when I updated flash player with the auto-updater. I bench-marked my computer with running multiple programs and games to the maximum effort my computer could handle without flash installed (needless to say, no problem occurred). I then installed flash according to specs and ran a youtube playlist alone on Internet Explorer, the problem did occur. I then tried it with FireFox and Google Chrome, the same problem occurred.
I had my brother reformat his computer and install everything according to spec (all of his drivers are up to date as well) and the problem persisted with his end so I haven't done that, since it'd be to no avail.
I have even uninstalled Flash Player using the uninstaller executable that's supposed to remove everything from Flash Player and tried to install the version that worked prior to the update and it's as if something from Flash isn't being removed because the problem happens with the old version too as well.
Our computer specs are as follows:
Manufacturer: CyberPower, Inc.
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
Memory(RAM): 3.00GB
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
Graphic Card: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series (Actual card is ATI Radeon 4850)
If I should post something else, let me know and I will. This problem is kind of annoying to be honest so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and assistance.

Hello,
Sadly this does not fix the problem on either computer. The video still comes in distorted while watching videos and the graphic card still crashes on song change while listening to a youtube playlist. The drivers are updated on both computers. As stated, this started happening when auto-updating to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player from the system tray icon. I can't even un-install flash and revert back to the version that worked before this update since it's as if something from Flash Player doesn't get uninstalled when using the uninstaller because the problem happens on all versions of Adobe Flash Player that I've tried. Thanks for your time and assistance.

HP 15-r033tx NVIDIA Graphics card sopped working after windows 7 encountered blue scree

It has been only five days since i purchased HP 15-r033tx laptop. NVIDIA 2gb graphics card stopped working when windos 7 OS encounterd blue screen. I re-intalled the OSand all drivers softwares and yet NVIDIA doesn't show up in control panel. What do i do?

Hi @Aashish_92
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you had a blue screen, and now the NVidia card is not working, after reinstalling your operating system.
I am happy to help with this. What method did you use to reinstall the operating system? Did you use system recovery?
After reinstalling the OS, did you make sure that all the system drivers were updated to the current ones from the HP support page for that notebook? HP 15-r033tx Notebook PC Drivers
You can try to use the system recovery manager to reload a factory installation.

Satellite A210-1AP - video card stopped working playing Call Of Duty 4

Hello,
I am having problems with my video card.
When I was playing call of duty 4 in 5 minutes my video card stops working and screen restart.
Then it says Your video card stopped working, and problem solved.
My video card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600.

> Then it says Your video card stopped working, and problem solved.
And? Is it working now?
Possibly the graphic driver hung and therefore you received this message.
Its also possible that the GPU temperature was too high and therefore the message appeared.
The COC 4 needs a lot of hardware resources and everything must run with full performance! Therefore there is higher heat dissipation and this can lead to graphic card issues.

If you can see an image on your screen then your graphics card (Intel HD Graphics 3000) integrated into your 13" machine is working just fine.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say that a video file isn't working... how exactly isn't it 'working' and what file format is it in?

Can't get dedicated graphics card to work.

I can not get the dedicated graphics card to work on my laptop. I spend my night installing and uninstalling drivers, wich none of them seem to work.
To check the card if its working, I dissabled Intel HD Graphics adapter and left the AMD, instead of getting the dedicated card to work I got "Microsoft Basic Display Driver".
Please help me....
EDIT: I only reinstalled AMD drivers, I didn't touched the intel ones since they work.

HI FXV,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you.
I understand you have already uninstalled and then downloaded and reinstalled the recommended driver to no avail.
Here is a link to a post by @Paul_Tikkanen that may also help. beta driver. This seems to have solved the issued for someone else.
Have you tried running the HP Support Assistant to aid with updates and resolving issues.
Have you tried Using Automated Troubleshooting (Windows 8) to assist with this difficulty.
You could also try Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8) to resolve issues.
That last thing I can suggest before referring to HP support is a recovery back to factory. Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
During the recovery process you will get a prompt to backup your personal files to prevent data loss, if you have not done one recently, I suggest you do one now.
Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 8).
If none of the above has resolved the issue then I suggest contacting HP support for assistance. They have the ability to remotely access your system to help locate and resolve issues.

After Software Update 2007-004 airport card stopped working after wakeup

Hi,
I have a powerbook G4 - DVI running 10.3.9. After I have installed Software Update 2007-003, when my computer goes to sleep and then wakes up, airport card stops working. I had to open the back of the computer, unplug and plug the airport card, then it starts working again. But next time the computer goes to sleep, it stops working again.
Does anyone have a similar problem? Any work arounds?
Thanks in advance.

5233 Memory card stopped working!

Hi,
I've had this phone for almost a year, it's good but there have been few problems.
I have an 8 GB memory card, which I had to reformat recently. Today I was downloaded a theme from nokia store. But suddenly my memory card stopped working. I re -inserted it but it doesn't show on phone.
56 MB of my phone memory and 6.5 GB of my external memory is free. I cant reformat cause memory card is not showing on phone.
Another problem that's appeared is that while typing, if move the cursor back it goes through each alphabet instead of each word.
3rd thing is wen I first posted here there was an option that allowed me to check response via email. Its not here anymore.
Please help all my data is on memory card.
Regards
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi mtank,
Thanks for your post.
If the memory card can't be read in the phone try your memory card in a cardreader connected to a PC to verify if the card is readable still. If it is copy all content to the PC and format the card. Then check the card in the phone and if it is accessible copy all content back to it from the PC. If you still can't read the card on the phone replace it with a new one. You can copy the original content to it from the PC first.
Hope this helps,

After Service, Airport card stops working randomly on macbook pro 17" early 2009

Hi,
So after the last time my computer was serviced, the airport card stops working randomly on moving the screen.
Upons restarting the computer, it sometimes says wi-fi hardware not installed. Then, if I move my machine around,
lift it up, turn it around, place it back on the table and restart it, it works again. I don't understand this.
And all this started happening the moment my warranty ran out. Extremely frustrating!!

It may be possible that one of the following may be the issue:
The internal AirPort Extreme card is not seated properly.
The internal Wi-Fi antenna connector is not seated properly in the AirPort Extreme card.
The internal AirPort Extreme card's connector is faulty or damaged.
The internal AirPort Extreme card is faulty.
To get an idea on how the Extreme card is installed, please check out the following iFixit article.

Premiere Pro CC slows down, then stops working, then won't work, then it won't quit

Premiere Pro CC slows down, then stops working, then won't work, then it won't quit. So I have to force quit every time.
It does not matter if I am working with HD or 4K - same thing happens.
This began happening about a week ago. Nothing really new has changed. I tried to repair permissions and check this from a new admin account because I know that is what Adobe thinks the answer to every problem is. But it did not change anything.
Mac 10.10.2

Used this tip from Adobe and it worked, all running quick and smooth again.
Hope it works for you too.
