HPE 180T - Video driver stopped responding - the screen is pixilated and barely legible.

My HPE 180T core dumped and when it restarted the screen was pixilated and barely legible. I could make out a message "Video driver stopped working and has recovered".  I am not sure how to reinstall the driver (Windows 7 64-bit OS),  since it is very difficult to navigate through the screens given the poor display. Could this also be a hardware issue with the graphics card ; if so what is the basic graphics card compatible with this HP, so I can just get it operational again.

Hello Navy2035,
I found a document that troubleshoots the "Video driver stopped working and has recovered" error message. 
I realize it may be difficult to follow all of these steps if the screen is barely legible. From what the document says, it looks like it could be a memory issue.. "When system memory is running low and Windows is not able to allocate video memory, Windows closes and then restarts the program to avoid a failure." So I'm not sure that replacing the video card would help. 
If you do decide to replace a video card, these are the video cards listed on the product specifications page:
Radeon HD4650
Radeon HD5450 (1 GB)
Radeon HD5570 (1 GB)
GeForce GT220
AMD Radeon HD4850
nVidia GeForce GTX 260
I hope this helps!
Thanks,
Mike

    I have tried to charge it but it doens't start and when I tried to connect it with my computer it didn't work either.

    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.

    Screen goes black instantly.  Within seconds it boots back up and pop up says AMD Display Driver Stopped Responding.  This happens under all conditions, every day, usually when on the internet.  I tried to download an updated driver on your site and it detected my computer and printer but when I went to download updated driver software it said it did not detect my computer.
    Please give me exact steps to take.   Thank You!!

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • MSI GTX 570 (N570GTX-M2D12D5) - Display driver stopped responding

    Problem:
    Upon watching videos and playing games, artifacts begin to show and green blotches sometimes appear.  After a couple seconds the video slows down and crawls to a stop.  After another couple seconds the screen goes blank, then after 2-3 seconds the video comes back and I get a balloon notification, "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered"
    Attempted Fixes:
    -Updated Gigabyte Motherboard BIOS to the latest revision (F7, need to try F8a beta)
    -Updated Video Card BIOS to latest revision (KJ1)
    -Installed MSI's latest video card driver (285.62)
    -Installed NVIDIA's latest video card driver (285.62 WHQL)
    -Installed NVIDIA's latest beta video card driver (295.51 beta)
    -Removed all but essential hardware (booted using only CPU/Memory/Mainboard/SSD+HDD/Video Card)
    -Tested other graphics cards (9800GX2 worked fine, very similar power requirements as GTX 570)
    -Verified PSU's requirements Seasonic X650 650-Watt PSU (High-efficiency, 54A on +12V)
    --Minimum 550W or greater system power supply (with a minimum 12V current rating of 38A)
    -No overclocking
    -Increased northbridge voltage
    -Increased GPU voltage
    -RMA'd my first GPU, got my 2nd GPU and it too has the same problem.
    -Increased timeout per Microsoft's KB article:
    --http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2665946
    -Clean install of Windows 7 64-bit SP1
    I think it's incompatible with Gigabyte motherboards... I cannot find any other logical connection, even after updating both BIOS (Video & Mainboard)
    Should I RMA?  Can MSI refund me?  I'm sick of this problem and I'm not convinced an RMA will fix it.
    My specs:

    is the card OC edition, if yes have you tried to remove the factory OC?

    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

    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.

  • "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.

    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)
