Graphics driver re-install​ed and still not working.

I have Windows 7, 64-bit. My graphics have been crashing, and I get the message that the display driver has recovered. This happens with both 360 photo views, Google Earth and various videos. I did the latest driver update. Chkdsk /r found no problems. HP Support Assistant found no problems. HP SupportSolutionsFramewro
I uninstalled the driver, and when I rebooted, my computer automatically re-installed it before I go to to the HP website and re-download the specific driver: AMD Radeon HD 6450.
Just now, not only did I get the message while watching a video that the display driver had recovered, the screen went black for the 1st time and automatically rebooted to the page asking if I wanted to start Windows normally. It also gave the message that Windows stopped working unexpectedly and had recovered.
What is my next step in problem-solving? My computer is no longer under warranty.

DUS21, welcome to the forum.
The first thing that I suggest is running your antivirus program to assure that there are no viruses.  If there are none, you should backup your personal data and do a System Recovery.  When a computer begins having problems, it is normally due to a glitch.  The best way to solve the problem is by doing a System Recovery.  This returns your computer to its original configuration.  It will run much faster after it is complete.  I do one at least once per year.  I like the feel of a new computer without problems.
