Graphics driver incorrect/causing crash?

I recently installed a Radeon HD 5870 graphics card and every once in a while, as I'm working on the computer, the screen goes grey.
Sometimes it's static, sometimes it's just a plain grey field, and sometimes it's grey with a bunch of vertical lines.
I'm not really up on graphics hardware, but I'm wondering if I don't have the right graphics driver for the 5870.
I checked on the available drivers for this card and apparently they only go up to Tiger and I'm using 10.6.8.
Any ideas?

Run iStatPro or Temperature Monitor and see if there is a correlation.
2007 MacPro2,1 ? FBDIMMs and heat w/ 8-core (very few 3GHz 2008s out there)
The 5870 would be overkill in price/performance etc for pre-2008s.
Radeon 5870 5770 2006 Mac Pro
And there are issues sometimes not just with flashed versions. Really helps if you know enough to know what hardware. Like even Mac model etc.

Yep. I upgraded my bios recently to 1.56 and windows didn't come up anymore (except in safemode). It took a while before I find out it was my Matrox G550 driver which caused the problem. I also tried it with the latest Matrox driver, but no go .
Hi mozzer00 where did you find this bios i'm running on the 1.5x version and with this bios I don't get any display while booting or after that with my Parhelia.

T410s bluetooth driver update causing BSOD

A bluetooth driver update seems to be the cause of bluescreen crashes on my T410s running windows 7 64bit. this has happened with all bluetooth driver updates I attempted to install in the past year. a windows optional update installed a broadcom bluetooth driver which caused crashes. I unstalled the update and the system returned to normal. two lenovo updates had the same problem specifically: thinkpad bluetooth drivers 6.5.1.4500, and 6.2.1.3100.
for anyone having similar problems, I found that using the older 6.2.0.9421 bluetooth driver has resolved the issue.

If it's not broken, don't fix it.
Release notes mention anything that affects you? No? Skip it.

CS5.0.2 causing graphics driver crash

Updated to Premiere 5.0.2 and Media Encoder 5.0.1 - when I export (inside Premiere as well as sending to Media Encoder, Premiere/Media Encoder freezes up and I get a Windows message to say that the Graphics driver has crashed and it has successfully recovered. Reverted back to Premiere 5.0.1 and can successfully export without issues. Anyone experiencing similar problems? I have latest WHQL release Nvidia driver which has not given any hassles.

Does your error message look like this?

I have the same graphics card (GTS 250) and I have had some problem as well.
Here is a thread that I started when I found issue related to the GPU and large image files: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/673072?tstart=0
Here is another thread that I have been contributing to...the person that started the thread has the same graphic card as well: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3102758
I had mixed results from the update to 5.02, but the cons out weigh the pros when the hack is considered. So, I have since decided to wait until I can afford a supported card...hoping that will help. Below is what I posted on the last forum that I provided the link to. It illustrates my results with the update and different drivers. I would love to figure out how to make the GTS 250 reliable, please post any new findings that might be helpful. Thank you.

I have found problems with the Nvidia driver 258.? on my machine. While I did gain some marginal ability to work with larger images using the GPU, I started to get frequent OpenGL error messages and crashing in After Effects with the updated driver, so I have reverted back to version 197.? and all seems to be well again.
It makes me worry using the "hack" on video jobs. The hack is fun to play with to see how well the playback can be using the GPU, but I don't want to work on time sensitive material always wondering if something I add to the timeline will cause it to crash, or worse, corrupt a project file. For me, I don't think the benefits out weigh the downside of the "hack".
I have considered using the "hack" on video only projects, but I don't know if the problems will eventually turn up on long projects or not. Most of my most recent projects have been fairly short. I do realize that my large images that have causing the crashes are huge (approx. 4300 x 2800), but in software only mode they are not a problem at all...really smooth. If I had more time, I would fine the maximum image size that I could work with without causing my system to crash, but I don't have that much time to play with it. It seems that the smaller the image, the longer it takes to make it crash, but eventually, I can always make it crash. So, I wonder if any image size could be a problem, but it just takes longer for the crash to occur?
I really wish that someone with a supported card would try some large images and run it through some testing. Once I get a supported card, my large images will be my first test. If it crashes with a supported card, I'm not going to be real happy. Some have suggested the problem may be the amount of RAM on my GTS 250, but my card has 1GB, which is about how much many of the supported cards have.
I am wondering if the GTS 250 just doesn't have enough muscle to work with the images? Anyone with a supported card want to give it a go? The time would be greatly appreciated.

Power Map causes Intel HD Graphics Driver to crash or Blue Screen (BAD_POOL_HEADER)

Hello,
I have a user who is attempting to use Excel 2013's Power Map Add-in, however, he had this to say:
"I can regionally map counties without an issue, but the Zip Code mapping is
always giving me problems. It may be because there are so many zips in the
state."
He is using a Lenovo 440p laptop with Windows 7 Professional x64 and I have already updated his Intel HD graphics driver using the official driver tool from Intel, has well
as Lenovo's driver update software. Also, here are some screenshots below. Are there plans for a hotfix or can someone advise on a solution? Thank you.

same problem here, easily shows column, bubble or heat map but crashes every time when I choose region map. Trying to draw 64 countries and one single value column on a world map. any solutions?

Firefox 5 is causing my Intel graphics driver (it is up to date) to crash - never had a problem with Firefox 2, 3, or 4.

Having repeated intel graphics accelerator driver crashes - screen goes black and it recovers - get little error message screen as what happened. Happens frequently. I have done driver scans and everything is up to date. Did not have this problem with firefox 4

This is my problem too. I saw a post about a computer crash above. I found if I wait (various periods of time) the computer restores and firefox stays broken. Although being impatient, I would reboot the computer anyway.
I HAVE SWITCHED TO CHROME until this problem is resolved. You can import all your bookmarks and passwords and live happily ever after. When and If this problem is resolved, I may switch back (been loyal for years and years).. if it takes too long, I'll probably just stay with chrome as my new browser.
I have also seen a similar screen to the "BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH" that scared me, but it was a graphic driver crash warning (windows 7) nothing more. However I did pee myself a little.
For a while I thought my graphics card was overheating or something, but found the crashes coincided with firefox boot. That's when I discovered this thread. Thanks folks for posting.

Why does firefox 7 crashes the system if Quadro NVS 135M graphics driver is installed?

Why does firefox 7 crashes the system with a Quadro NVS 135M graphics cards installed?
It happens immediately after opening Firefox on a two screen system. You get a message saying the Graphics Driver stopped responding, but that it managed to recover, but after a while the system freezes completely. You can't even CTRL+ALT+DEL.

I get this too on with my nVidia GTX460 card. In my case the screen goes black. It happens once every few days, and for a while I could not figure out why. I was forcing a shutdown to get the screen back.
But I put the computer to sleep and woke it up, since that restarts the video, and this let me see what was wrong. The only error message is it reports that Firefox hung. There is nothing else in the Event logs.
I'm running Windows 7 with all the updates from Windows Update, and my video driver is 285.62, but his also happened with the 260.26 driver.
I imagine this is happening a lot, but people aren't able to isolate the cause.
I'm looking for a fix, not a bypass.

AMD 6490M driver is outdated, crashing and causing blue screen

I have hp pavilion dv6-6120se windows 7 64-bit with switchable graphics card 1GB intel 3000 and 1GB AMD radeon 6490M. The AMD graphics card driver is keep crashing and casing blue screen. I got this error from action center saying "A problem with your video hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly"(LiveKernelEvent). The AMD graphics driver is outdated and i have never received any updates for it for 3 years. AMD said that i have to contact the notebook manufacturer for GPU driver updates because i have switchable GPU. I tried to update the driver from AMD but the updates wasn't working correctly.
thanks

Photoshop CS4 and graphic cards. Can cause crashing?

Since upgrading to CS4 I seem to have increased crashing.
Here are my system specs.
Mac 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
9 GB of Ram
250 GB internal dedicated scratch disc
NVDIA GeForce 7300 GT with 256 VRAM
After having endless techs look at my machine and upgrading everything. I am beginning to suspect the graphics card.
With OpenGL can a underperforming video card cause crashing in photoshop especially with massive file sizes ( multilayered CMYK poster sized files the can exceed 7 GB)?

Did you install the 11.0.1 update?
Is your OS up to date with patches?
Have you tried disabling OpenGL in preferences to avoid using the GPU/Graphics card?

X1 Carbon 3rd.gen Chrome crashes on Youtube videos after Intel HD Graphics Driver 10.18.14.42 update

Hi!
Chrome crashes at Youtube videos after Intel HD Graphics Driver 10.18.14.4206 update on Lenovo X1 Carbon 3rd.gen. Since the driver update yesterday, laptop starts suddenly to overheat enormously and become super-noisy as soon as I try to open a Youtube video , no matter on Youtube page, or a external provider with embded youtube video. Chrome becomes unresponsible and has to be terminated. Laptop continues to use fan at extreme level for abot 20 more seconds and then cools down. IE plays youtube videos without problem and all the other videos from Facebook i.e. are playing. Tried original and also Beta version of Chrome, which doesn't help.
Kind regards,Daniil

Hey guys, T450s user here. I think I found an even better workaround for this issue without having to disable hardware acceleration and lower the performance of Chrome as a whole. After long trial and error I found the that driver-related issue is generally narrowed-down to HTML5 acceleration for video playback. By installing the following Chrome Extension I was able to revert YouTube back to the old Flash-based YouTube player and now even 4K playback is absolutely stellar on my T450s running the latest .4222 driver directly from Intel's site! https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24964/Intel-Iris-Iris-Pro-and-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-8-1-64-bit This is of course by no means a fix of any kind but I think it is the best workaround that we have to this date without having to sacrifice performance in Chrome as a whole. Try it out guys! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-youtube-html5-pla/enmofgaijnbjpblfljopnpdogpldapoc?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog

I have the latest Intel Graphic Driver but sometimes, and quite randomly the driver crashes when I unsleep the tablet.
I happens about 50% of the times my tablet goes to sleep.
Detailed explanation:
The tablet goes to sleep. When I wake it either with the power button or with the front button it takes 5 seconds for the screen to go on and a ballon appears saying "Driver stopped responding and has recovered" for my "Intel Graphics Accelerator Driver for Windows 8" . And 1 out of 10 times it cannot recover: blue screen of death telling to look up igdkmd64.sys!
Does anybody know how to repair this?

T61p Graphics Driver crash on Resume from sleep, intermittent BSOD

I have a T61p type 6458-BS9 with S/N L3-xxxxx, built August 2008.BIOS version is 2.21
Every time the PC wakes up from sleep, I get a message that the graphics driver has "succesfully recovered" (i.e. it crashed). One out of every three times, the PC wakes up, but the screen stays black and I have to forcefully reboot the PC. At regular intervals, I also have a BSOD referring to the same NVidia driver.
The driver installed is the latest version on the website, 175.97 which dates back to June.
I don't play games, so the other "resolved" issue on this thread does not seem to apply.
Does anybody know how resolve this issue?

Hi,
I too have exactly the same problem with display corruption after waking from sleep (X200 7454-CTO - windows 7 X64). I have disabled the intel VT extensions in the BIOS but the problem still occurs.
I have now installed the latest display driver from intel's site (8.15.10.1986) to avoid using the Lenovo 1968 packaged driver. This means I have lost the on-screen brightness display functionality but I can live without that. I will let you know if I have more problems using this driver.
I assume this problem will get fixed at some point as presumabley those customers who ordered X200's with windows 7 preinstalled will be having the same problems?
Regards,
Martin

Graphics driver crashing on new MBPr 15" w/ discrete graphics.

I bought the 15" MBPr w/ discrete graphics card a few days ago and installed Windows 7 via boot camp. Everything was working initially but my graphics drivers began crashing repeatedly. I restarted my computer which stopped it for a while. In this time I did things from school work to play video games without any problems. The next day after starting it up again the drivers began crashing over and over again. Has anyone else had this issue? I tried updating the graphics driver but received an error saying the card i

I think we're all using Windows 7 x64. As you are an empolyee of HP, will you give us an overview of how HP is handling this problem (if they even are)?

Brushes panel causes graphics driver to fail to load

If I have the brushes panel open when I launch Photoshop openGL acceleration will fail to load, even with default brushes. Everything else the same, but with the brushes panel hidden it will load as normal.
My video card is a Nvidia 550 ti

I think maybe the subject of my thread is poorly worded. My graphics driver is fine in all cases. The only problem I'm having is that openGL acceleration, within Photoshop alone, fails to load if the brushes panel is visible when Photoshop starts up. I don't see how this could possibly be the fault of the driver. But what do I know?
I have zero other graphics driver issues whatsoever on my system and it befuddles me that Nvidia would be responsible for an edge-case issue that occurs within your software and your software alone.
It would be awesome if Adobe staff just thanked me for reporting the bug and looked into it rather than point a finger.

Graphics Switch causing crash and Customer service is not up to par.

I have been having an issue which I believe is to be when my Macbook Pro switches from its graphic card to the graphic driver. When it makes the switch it locks up at a black screen. I have tried setting my system preferences to always keep it on the graphic card and it worked for a while but soon it locked up again. I have driven to the nearest Apple store which is nearly two hours from my home and talked with an Apple Care person over the phone. I was told upon my second visit and over the phone that it was a hardware issue and that they would send it in to be repaired. I recieved a call the following day that they had only reinstalled the system software and wiped my laptop and that was their definition of "fix." I was told by the lady over the phone that it was a software glitch instead. I took her word for it and made the drive to get my laptop. I got it home and not even 10 minutes of using it, it locked up again, still doing the exact same thing. This has become very frustrating. I'm getting ready for college and having my laptop randomly lock up and having to reboot it is likely to be a massive nuisance. This issue has been going on for months and I've been waiting for a fix for a very long time and now I'm a couple weeks out of warranty and it's still not fixed. Needless to say I'm not happy.

I also just noticed that the promotion ends tomorrow, and VZW had no idea if it is going to be extended or not:
For a limited time, existing customers who are within 12 months of their upgrade eligibility date can trade in their old devices and use Verizon Edge to enjoy the benefits of a new 4G LTE device. This offer is available 7/1/14 - 9/30/14.
My concern is not with being able to upgrade right now, it is over miss-information that was provided to me on my first call. Being told that I was able to upgrade AND keep my current phones was quite an incentive.
1st call I was eligible to upgrade that day for Edge, and keep my phones - I decided to think about it over the weekend.
2nd call I am eligible to upgrade to Edge on 10/10, but have to turn in my current devices.
3rd call to clarify about the 9/30/14 promotion end date, they had no idea if it was still to be available - so I might not be able to upgrade at all on 10/10 to Edge.
