Nvidia display driver has stopped responding and has recovered

Hello,
I'm fairly new to the boards. I recently purchased my first laptop, the t510. I have noticed on 2 occasions, about a month apart where the screen flickered and received the nvidia display driver message above. On the first occasion, I was running Google Earth. On the second occasion, I was playing a demo of a game. The power settings were on low in both instances. Is the problem that the video card was not receiving enough power or am I looking at imminent hardware failure. I have the 3 year depot warranty so I can certainly send it in for repair if necessary but I wanted to make sure it wasn't just a power setting. Any information you could provide would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Chad

You are not the only one with this problem scout929.
Its not the best idea to do a direct comparison with the W510 thread, since that model doesnt use the same graphic processor as the T510 - but its a guideline to the driver being faulty nevertheless. So I guess we just have to wait for a driver that works better...

I was getting this error from my new computer i had for 6 weeks. This is the second one laptop I bought that had that error from BEST BUY in FRESNO CALIFORNIA. After an amazing amount of research and looking into my machine they folks at the CLOVIS department decided it was hardware and not software. ...Now..
I went to the store in FRESNO and the nice gyt behind the counter could not help me because the policy on returns was 2 weeks. I stated it was hardware and not software. I asked for the manager and got this Chinese looking child about 18 years old come to me and said abruptly not our problem, took his bag, flung it over his shoulder and went home. I stood there wondering what am I going to do with this dead machine.
FRESNO GEEK SQUAD couldnt figure out what was wrong with it, they couldnt even hook it up to the internet so I could show them. Very annoyed I called my other branch in CLOVIS, there I was treated very nicely, they looked at it for about 2 hours trying to figure out what is wrong. they came to the conclusion that it was probably VISTA. They gave me credit against another machine.
I actually put another 500 bucks to get a better an another model machine.
I have acually spent well over 5000 dollars with Best buy in Fresno and I will not be going back for anything.
If anyone is getting that error then take it back in andd get a new machine.

So, did you send an error report and check the solutions center at the bottom of the taskbar for a sololution?
It says you need to update your driver from NVIDIA directly to overcome this issue.

If nVidia and Firefox won't play nice I'm going to have to drop Firefox.
I believe the problem actually is with nVidia, because installing GeForce 275.33 Driver and earlier WHQL drivers eliminates the problem.
But changing video cards costs money, whereas changing web browsers is free.
Hence my statement, "If nVidia and Firefox won't play nice I'm going to have to drop Firefox."
It is not fair, but it is reality.
nVidia is ignoring the issue, because it knows we can cheaply bypass their bugs by switching browsers. (With other people they've pointed fingers at power supplies, mother boards, you name it, anything to pass the buck.)
I am not interested in bypasses. I am only interested in actual fixes.
In other words no jumping through hoops with manual procedures, driver sweeper, unplugging to stop windows update, or stupid actions like deleting all my Windows Restore Checkpoints, etc. Except for deleting all my Windows Restore Checkpoints I've done all that.
That nVidia suggest this suggests to me that the bug is actually in their install or uninstall scripts. The problem with their bypass is it introduces race conditions so it does not work on my system or many other nVidia 400 and 500 series graphics cards.
I've tried all the WHQL nVidia drivers since 275.33 and they all have this problem. So does the latest beta (I seldom ever do betas any more, but I made an exception).
Do a vanilla clean install using the standard install script included with the old 275.33 nVidia drivers and the problem does not occur.
If this is not going to be fixed, if we're going to be left with just bypasses, my bypass will be to change web browsers.
+++ So, can Mozilla somehow please light a fire under nVidia's feet? +++
I really do not want to change browsers, but it is the cheapest solution by far.

There are some open bug reports on Nvidia's drivers. We can open a new bug (if you want to go that route, let me know the bug number and I will triage it), but all that Firefox can [usually] do is blacklist the driver so that HWA isn't run on that driver.
Your best bet (for now) is to disable HWA yourself and that should resolve the crashes

"Display driver igfx stopped responding and has since recovered"

I own a Satellite A205-S5000, and this morning it starts throwing fits. The screen turns black for a second or two, and then it displays an error message in the bottom right-hand corner reading, “display driver igfx stopped responding and has since recovered”. I’ve searched both Microsoft and Toshiba for an answer, and have yet to turn up a decent solution. The solutions I found said to update my drivers (the most recent driver updates on the Toshiba website that I didn’t recognize were for Windows 7, which I don’t have), or to change some of my graphic settings (which I don’t understand why a computer purchased in 2008 would be having a problem with now and not before). I also read somewhere that it could be from remnants of a virus, but I’ve ran Norton and not picked anything up, and I doubt Malware will either. So, is this something serious? Is it something I need to worry about? Any kind of solution would be appreciated.

Oddly, I ran Malware (and still didn't come up with anything), shut it down for the night and voilà! I haven't had it pop back up since. Still don't know what caused it to start in the first place, though. :<

Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered - Intel HD (Satelite P75-A7200)

I am trying to play minecraft on my Toshiba Satelite P75-A7200 running Windows 10 preview build 10130 . The game starts up ok and I can start playing it but then, anywhere from 10 seconds to 10 minutes later the Minecraft window locks up. It shows a "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered" error in the lower right of my laptop screen. The Java Platform SE binary process shows as not responding when I open task manager. I have tried updating drivers direct from Intel, The latest would not install onto Windows 10 (Not a valid OS), Changing the Windows TDR timeout in the registry to 8 (no effect), and simply deleting the display devices and file associated with them and allowing the system to add them back. I am out of ideas at this point. Please help.

When I first got my P750, right out of the box I was having the same type of issue you are describing here. Only mine had to do with playing a dvd in the Toshiba DVD player. Regardless, after many attempts to fix the issue, the following shows a method of how I was able to fix it. It may or may not work for you, all I can say is it worked for me.http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Video-Display/Display-driver-error/m-p/299816 My solution is down near the bottom of page 2 and basically it had to do with Nvidia and Intel driver compatibility. I hope this helps.

T61 problem. Display driver igfx has stopped responding and has successfully recovered + BSOD

T61 with Vista Business and intel GM965 video chips.
When playing World of Warcraft the game freezes periodically, the screen goes black and then, usually, it will get back to normal with the message about the display driver having stopped and recovered. Occasionally though it locks up and I get the BSOD and a reboot.
I tried using the latest drivers from Lenovo but it doesn't fix it. I tried uninstalling them and installed the Intel latest drivers as they were a newer release. Again, does not improve anything so I went back to the Lenovo ones for the time being.
I've set the game to the lowest spec video setting possible with lowest resolution possible etc but nothing seems to cure this problem.
Lenovo tech support told me something about timers being out and blamed it on Vista. I've asked for a more detailed, written response but, in the meantime I'd like to ask if anybody has been able to sort this problem out?
Looking online it seems that this is the single most common problem with laptops fitted with GM965 chipset so I'd have thought that between the BIOS and driver writers in Intel, Lenovo and Microsoft somebody could solve this or, at least tell everybody what it is and why it can't be solved so that people looking to play games on a laptop steer clear of this chipset.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I a have solution to a problem that plagues many players!
I too have been having a problem where about three mins after logging into
WoW the screen goes black for 4-5 seconds, and then continues to do so every
30 seconds or so.
Here are my system specs.
GTW GT5412
OS: Vista Home Premium 32-Bit
Processor: Intel Core 2 1.80Ghz
Ram: 2038MB
Video Card: Intel 82945G Express Chipset Family.
I read all over on the internet trying to fix it, and everyone said to
download the 02/04/07 drivers from intel.com but every time I would run the
installer it would tell me they weren't made for my computer.
Here is how I eventually got it to work.
Step 1:
Download the 02/04/07 drivers from Intel (Version # 15.1) Put them somewhere
you'll remember. (Desktop)
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Filt...eng&sType=prev
Step 2:
Go to [Start -> Control Panel -> Security -> Turn automatic updating on or
off (Under Windows Update) -> Select "Check for updates but let me choose
whether to download and install them.
Step 3:
Go to [Start -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Device Manager ->
Tell Vista to Continue -> Display Adapters -> Right-click and uninstall your
current drivers.
Step 4:
Restart your computer. When Vista opens you will get a message that it is
installing "VGA adapter drivers"
Step 5:
Run "winvista_151" (Driver installer you downloaded earlier)
It should work - and if it comes up with a "Unknown error" than just try
running the installer again.
It worked without a hitch for me, and for my girlfriend's computer too. Hope
it works for all you guys too!

Display Driver has stopped responding and has recovered. bsod if I use mercury hardware acceleration

Hi, I bought a cheap NVIDIA card to go alongside my GTX285 to allow me to use a third monitor for timeline playback. I've done this before with an ati card with no issues but needed to change to a single height card to get the extra slot back.
It installed it's drivers and then whenever I opened premiere CS6 it would immediately hang and blue screen. I removed the card and rolled back to old drivers but no change. NVIDIA support gave me beta drivers but no change either. They suggested that my card or motherboard was faulty. (Motherboard is a EVGA Sr2) Eventually I found I can edit normally if I turn off hardware acceleration for the mercury playback engine and leave it as software only. Not much use when my GPU supports CUDA.
Even now the display driver keeps giving me the "stopped responding" message with or without premiere open so I'm thinking there is some hardware issue somewhere. The Blue screen only occurs when I use mercury hardware acceleration.
I have ordered a GTX470 because I can't afford to spend hundreds on a 690 etc.
The current driver version is 306.97, error occurs in CS5 and CS6
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Michael.

The reason the ATI card worked was because that is completely 2 separate drivers. That makes it easier for the OS to sort out the device ID's although that can cause issues with some applications and the ram shadowing done by Win 7 compositing mode. However when you use 2 Nvidia GPU's, the drivers are essentially the same as far as what the OS see's but they have completely different support for things like Direct X. This often can cause major issues with drawing out on the screen. The other issue is the 2 cards may not have resource charts that are far enough apart to avoid resource issues. If you cant return the 470 card then you may want to try a 1GB 620 card for the 2nd video card and see if that will work. That will minimize the resource shadowing and hopefully run the 600 series card in the Direct X version the 400 series card will run.

GT 660 Display Driver has stopped responding and has now recovered

Hello,
The above is a rough interpretation of the message I got.
Things seemed normal and then the screen would go blank until I moved the mouse (at which point I would get the message). This happened twice and I headed over to this forum when it started happening again and again till I got the BSOD. I am using driver version 270.61 and am now downloading the latest drivers. Prior to this The laptop would freeze or give a red screen occasionally until I forced restart. I was told it could be a dusty GC, but is the display driver not responding problem related to the dusty GC? I haven't cleaned it because I simply don't have the time these days.
Thank you.

red screen occasionally
Meaning? If it's what I think it is: Screen turns red in total?
Then it looks to me your videocard is going bad or overheating.

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.

Toshiba Satellite P500 "Display Driver stopped responding and has recovered."

I have a Toshiba Satellite P500/XEO PSPGSA - 1XE08L Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit) system. I’ve received the following random message Since I bought the computer back in 2011--- “Display Driver stopped responding and has recovered.” Since I have bought the computer I have returned it to Harvey Norman where I purchased it from for them to fix the issue. They have reformatted and whiped the computer a couple times aswell as going to the toshiba website and installing the latest drivers. I also have done the same steps as Harvey Norman.
The computer has been sent back to Toshiba also, It was overheating so Toshiba has put a new CPU into the computer to fix that issue and also the hard drive had a fault sector so Toshiba installed a new hard drive. When Toshiba had the laptop they tried to fix this issue with no result.
This issue is more annoying then anything because it happens often (a few times a day) and some of the time when the driver fails and the screen stays black, the only way you can fix this is a hard shut down by holding the off button.
I have looked at all the threads and have seen a lot of people having this problem. I have tried all the ideas and people's ways to fix this issue but nothing has worked.
This problem needs to be solved and I don't want to hear that I need to reformat my computer or restore it to factory settings like tech support have told me to do because both myself and Harvey Norman has done this and IT HASN'T Fixed the issue. This issue can't be good for the computer..
I am very dissapointed, after nearly 2 years of having this laptop the problem hasn't been fixed and Toshiba has no idea how to fix this issue. This laptop cost me over 2500 dollars and I have had more problems then I would have had with a 500 dollar computer.

No reply from Toshiba yet? Great customer service.
Anyways this is a snapshot of my screen going black and then coming back with a message popping up stating that the Display Driver has stopped responding and has recovered.
As you can see the window that I am in turns fully black after the driver recovers, I have to close the window and re open it. This happens many times a day.
I also am getting the display Driver crashing and the whole screen turns black and stays black, no matter what you do the screen stays black. I hit Cntrl + Alt + Del and nothing works making me shut it down by holding the on/off key
I do a lot of business on this computer and use it for all purposes. Due to this issue, every time the screen goes black and I have to hard restart the computer I lose all my work. Due to not knowing when this will happen I am having to lose a lot of work and start all over again.
This is ridiculous and Needs to be fixed. I am a Toshiba Customer and I have spent my money for the best of your products and I am very disappointed with the outcome. There has been no help, I have had nothing but issues and the customer service and support for your company is atrocious.
In future I will no longer be buying Toshiba and I know a lot of other people who have seen this issue and had the same problems with Toshiba support that they won't be using Toshiba either.

Msi GT683R "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" error.

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. Currently I run out of ideas, I thank you in advance for your help!!!

Hi "I have an MSI G683R and the problem started a month ago, but sometimes pc freezes, crashes or restarts, mainly for running games; temperature problems've never had as constantly monitoring GPU and CPU and never exceed 80 degrees, I have the latest drivers for all devices, besides that I have always been maintained by removing all traces of dust inside the pc.
I have tested the RAM, hard drive, CPU and passed without any problems, including stress testing the GPU and everything ok ", but as soon as the pc game freezes.
The funny thing is that this never happens while I play with the battery without direct current is connected, but it is annoying the fact the battery only play for an hour.

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!

MSI GT70 0ND : Display driver stopped responding and has recovered

Hi,
I just bought a MSI GT70 0ND 1212xfr :
CPU : i7-3630QM
GPU : Nvidia GTX 675MX
RAM : 8 Go
HDD : 750 Go 7200 trs/min
OS : Windows 8.1 (installed by myself)
I tried several drivers but i always get this error message when the laptop has to switch on the GTX 675MX instead of the Intel HD4000 :
Quote
Display driver stopped responding and has recovered.
But finally the GTX 675MX is not enabled so i can't use my graphic card.

Already done and it didn't change anything but i found a temporary solution : i set the nvidia parameters to start my game with the GTX, the message still appears but next the game is running with the GTX. I didn't try with another game. I hope it will works too.
