Re: igfx driver crashes then responds but Satellite L series freezes

When playing media files or games igfx driver crashes then responds but notebook freezes

You mean your graphic card driver crashes and then your Satellite freezes without any response?
What notebook do you have and what OS did you install?
Did you try to update the graphic card driver?
If not -> do this!

Display driver has stopped responding but has recovered ....

I have just rebuilt my system which is now
Windows 7 (64 bit)
Photoshop CS4 11.0.1 (64 bit) ( open GL)disabled in preferences)
Core I7 950
graphics card Gianward nividia gtx 285
Photoshop is installed on OCZ vertex SSD
File info on Western digital caviar black
Mother board ASUS rampage gene
I print to 3 printers incuding an Epson 7900
I am not having any problems till it comes to printing my photos ..
When I print to any of the printers with "print preview " enabled I get the message "display driver has stopped responding but has recovered ...."
The Microsoft event ID = 4101
The screen goes black and remains so for a few seconds before it returns ...
Sometimes I am able to get the printer to go ahead and print... sometimes it wont and I have to start the whole print process again..
Needless to say this is irritating ..( by the way this happens with both of my Epson Printers ..the other is an 3880
I have just downloaded the latest drivers for both printers and the latest Nvidia drivers ... the problem remains
The ASUS probe indicates that all teperatures are within an acceptable range..
I would be most gratefull if some one could help with a solution ?

It really depends on what drivers windows uses by default for you. On older versions (vista, xp, etc) it would default to Standard VGA driver which is there only for compatibility purposes so it's barely using the video card but if i remember correctly win7 tends to use drivers from ati/nvidia's site for video cards (not the latest version but still a major step up from Standard VGA).
See if you can enable OpenGL drawing in Photoshop. If you can and you don't get any funky stuff (broken cursors for the brush tool and the like) then there shouldn't be any problem with using those drivers.

Hard drive crashed, files transferred BUT "files cannot be found"????

My hard drive crashed so I bought a new computer and used my actual i-pod to transfer my music files onto an updated version of I-tunes onto the new computer. All of the files showed up, but there are grey exclamation points next to almost all of the songs and a pop-up stating that "original files cannot be found". When I try to find them used edit/preferences/advanced I find where i-tunes has put a few of the files but the rest of them are missing??
I don't understand because I'm able to listen to the songs on my i-pod but I just can't "find them" when I use the actual computer. What happened??

Ejohan ,
Let me see if I've got this right,
1. You're using an unsupported "lite" version of a virus-prone OS, Windows ME to host iTunes.
2. You're not using any virus protection software.
3. You don't backup your system.
And you're mad at Apple because you lost your music? I hate to break this to you but it's your fault you lost your data not Apple's fault. You got exactly what you asked for based on your actions. You made the decision to cut corners and unfortunately you paid the price. Be an adult, admit it, make changes so that it doesn't happen again and move on the wiser for your experience.

Severe driver-crashes with N580GTX Lightning! [v3xx series]

Hello everyone!
i just registered here after a while of scouring the forum a bit. i'll try to present info about the issue in accordance with the posting guidelines as far as possible, as well as try to be concise in it.
my system-specs can be seen in my sig below. following is about the occurrence(s):
1. i got my system built in Aug./Sept. 2011, the GPU being bought at the same time. since then, i have played games a lot less (unjustifiably). in fact, very rarely in 2012. the last games i remember playing were BF3, skyrim, hard reset, & limbo, all at their respective default graphics-settings. the GPU has NEVER BEEN overclocked, nor MSI's applications been used at any point of time.
2. two months back, in november, i started noticing that the display-driver crashed intermittently. this was a never-seen-earlier issue for me, and it being far random & infrequent in nature, i neglected it as some random occurrence. the display-driver must've been from 3xx series then, but i can't say surely. i was till then using drivers downloaded from MSI's website after it used to notify me about the same. this was probably the 1st time i had downloaded drivers from nvidia's website though.
3. a little later, with time, nvidia started showing me updates about driver-releases every now & then, and i started downloading & installing all of them.
4. now, at the time i am writing, i had downloaded v310.70, and the crashes, with the passage of time within these 2 months, have gone from worse to berserk! i booted up my PC 2 days back after a gap of a week, and for a few hours it behaved normal, but after an overnight operation the next day, the driver showed it's true worth again! since then, in the past 2 days, the v310.70 driver is behaving madly, and the system kept restarting on this driver after continuous crashes! i was also notified about v310.90 being available for download, but i skipped that understandably.
5. today, i tried clean installation of earlier drivers as well, till v280.26, using 'driver fusion', but to no avail. the most 'stable' version seems to be v306.97, as it crashes only when:
- i boot up the PC. it then crashes 3-4 times continuously, and then everything's normal again.
- same behaviour when i put the PC off 'sleep' mode, though not consistent.
- when i watch a youtube video; crash occurs very randomly.
thankfully, with v306.97, the PC isn't restarting (yet!).
6. i was contemplating writing to MSI India for a probable fault with the card after such crashes & after going through nvidia forums (where nvidia hasn't bothered to respond properly), but then thought of 1st posting it here after going through this forum.
please note that i have NOT overclocked the GPU at any point of time ever, played games very less, games used to run flawlessly till sometime back (and i haven't played any after this issue showed up, but i know what could be the result of doing so).
S/N of the card is: 602-02SB11098062
am not able to test the card in any other PC, as i don't have one, and nor do i have friend(s) here close-by. also, should i update MSI Afterburner? i read in a thread that it solved the issue with one. nevertheless, i know i should, obviously
also, i keep my PC turned ON frequently over the nights (if that is of any help here).
Please let me know if any additional info is reqd., as well as what could be done. i don't have much idea about intricacies of the topic like changing voltages, BIOS flashing, etc., but you could just let me know what should be done & i have the searching-ability as well as Mr. Google to assist me too
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: so the system had its 1st restart now on v306.97 driver, after i started gtalk. a momentary hang, and zap! also, am using the DVI port on the card to connect it to the monitor, if that's of any use here.

I have this same problem and have been scouring forums for months on end to no avail. Previously using the older version of the drivers it would crash often when running intensive games such as BF3 and Hitman Absolution whereas since the recent update it crashes regularly with pretty much any game on high settings. By crash I mean lots of small green square shaped artifacts all over the screen then the machine reboots.
I have reported this problem to Scan computers where I purchased the card from and travelled 2 hours to get to their base only to have them test the card for 20 mins on BF3 and report that they found no issue with it. The problem I have is also that it could sometimes run for a couple of hours before having sudden spate of crashes so it wasn't really guaranteed to show a problem with the way they tested it.
Scan at least understood that I was frustrated and replaced all the mem sticks in my machine - this didnt help either as the problem persists and I am very very frustrated with the card - so much that I am thinking I might chuck it in the bin and buy a 680GTX from a different manufacturer because it costs me more to take time off travelling to Scan that it would do buying a new card (petrol and losing pay as I am self employed).
I have tried the following to resolve the issue;
1) Complete rebuild of machine - remove clean and reassemble all parts and reinstall OS from scratch more than once
2) Run with different driver versions - some are more flakey than others but all are unstable
3) Replace all the memory
4) Ran with memory in different slots
5) Changed mem timings from auto to XMP to manual etc
6) Ensured no area of the system was overclocked in bios
7) Running different versions of motherboard bios
8) ensured electricity supply wasnt at fault by changing the sockets used, 4 way gangs used, tried dedicated socket - I also moved house during this period and still get the same issue at the new house
9) Rewired the graphics card to different ports on the PSU in case those were at fault - all give the same result. PSU is also a 750w corsair pro series so has enough juice to run a single card that hasnt been overclocked in my opinion. I also dont have any other add-in cards that might be drawing power.
I notice that sometimes when it crashes to desktop and doesnt reboot the system it states that the driver stops responding and also that the graphics card can no longer be detected.
I had at one point thought this might be an overheating issue however sometimes I can boot up my machine from cold and there is white lines all across the screen in POST and upon booting into windows it goes into the default vga driver mode stating that the graphics card cannot be detected - the msi afterburner software also states that it cannot detect any compatible hardware.
If I then reboot my machine anything up to 10 times the graphics card then starts working and the white lines in POST dissapear and everything might run fine for a few hours. Having said that it actually used to sometimes crash in VLC player whilst watching a movie which is hardly what I would call intensive use.
All in all very frustrating and whilst I used to seriously rate MSI products this has left me feeling a bit cold because SCAN were not interested in the many screenshots i sent them or the video of the problem occurring - they eventually relented and said send in the card for testing which would equate to them having it for up to 2 weeks during which time i dont know if they will just test it with bf3 for 20 mins again and declare it perfectly fine.
Also I have to add, if I enable the on-board graphics chip on the motherboard and run with that then the system is completely stable which again points me back to the GPU being at fault.

hi...
this is my 1st post here..so i really have no idea whether or not my problem has been discussed and I am not sure either whether I am having the same problem as the author
lately but when I am trying to burn aD DVD, I keep getting error message in the middle of the process.
The burning process was terminated immediately and I was asked to insert a new dvd to retry.
But then, I received the same error. The weird thing is occasionaly that I was able to complete the process.
I am pretty sure that the problem is not because of the dvd I used because as I said, sometimes I was a able to finish it.
Unfortunately, I cannot recall what is the exact error message..but i hope this details help.

Computer hard drive crashed and rebuild but lost itunes library.

My computer crashed from a bad hard drive. After I put a new one in and rebuild the Vista OS I attempted to sync my Iphone.
Itunes prompted my device is already tie to another library and gave me a option to erase and startover.
Is it possible to push the content from the Iphone library back to the itunes desktop? Or do I have to restart from scratch.
From googling I learn it is important to backup *.itl and will do so from now on.

I just want to point out that it's important to back up C:\...\Music\iTunes\. This contains library data files as well as the music files themselves.
Is your music purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, look at this:

If not, we'll need to look at some third party options.

Graphic Driver has stopped responding but recovered ERROR

I have had this issue since I put windows 7 on my s12.
Graphic card driver stops working, usually when coming from sleep or the screen saver. Usually the screen goes black for a few seconds, Now its worse and never restores, the maching must be forced shutdown and restarted.
The most recent drivers are installed. I will have to take care of this before the warranty is up.
Any experience with this sort of thing for the s12?

I found a newer driver on the Intel website
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 for Windows 7 32 bit* (.zip) Installs graphics driver version 15.12.75.50.5.2117 (8.14.10.2117) for the integrated graphics controller of Intel® chipsets for Windows 7*.
if you look at the driver history the problem is a known bug since 15.12.75.50.1.1972 revision. I also suffer from small corruption at the top of the screen when first booting. I'm going give it a try and report back.
Link to info: Release Notes and here is the link to Intel Graphics Driver incase someone else wants give it a go.
Intel 3150 Windows 7 Driver 7 8.14.10.2117
Edit Mod : Correct the Links/Click above to work
Update:
I installed the new drivers and still have the same problem. It's an Intel known issue and will just have to wait for a fix. I does happen less often.

870A-G54 - Possible overheating caused by too much ram? Display driver crashes

Greetings, I have a 870A-G54. I've had multiple issues with several video cards prompting me with a "display driver has stopped responding and has recovered" error. Each video card having it's own unique fix. I've come to the conclusion that it's another piece of hardware in my system that is the root of the problem; and not the video cards. I've noticed that the CPU during "the crash" hits about 60c; usually when playing video games. After a reboot, I can play games for a couple more hours before getting the error again. I'm running 16gb of ram on Windows 7 ultimate. Yesterday I decided to remove 8gb of ram to see if the CPU got "hot" again (only leaving the sticks in bay 3 and 4 in). I had a 4 hour session of gaming and it didn't crash. Note, I have the latest bios installed and a Power Supply that shouldn't have issues powering the whole thing; 850w gold rated PSU. I'm currently running a 6950 video card, and all of the settings are stock; no over clocking in any way. I have a hardware monitor installed that shows with my 16gb of ram that my cpu idles at 41-43c. During a intense gaming session going up to 60c. Yesterday after removing the other 8gb (two sticks of 4gb), it never went above 50c. My CPU is well ventilated. I've contemplated water cooling the CPU if that would resolve the issue. But I'd hate to fork over more money to an already expensive system if I don't have to. I've also wondered if it's just a bad ram stick, or bad ram bay on the motherboard. :\
Any suggestions here would be appreciated! Thanks!

So, I conducted several tests over the last couple of days. Now, I understand that mismatching ram could (and probably is) potentially causing the overheat problem. But... I kind of started looking at fundamentals. I have to sets for DDR3. One pair is Patriot sector 5 ram, the other is a set of Dominator ram. Now, I've noticed that I've seem to always have this driver crash issue. But I had always thought it was the video card. Only until recently I started seeing/noticing that the cpu was getting very hot when the driver would crash. On Wednesday I removed the ram in slots 1 and 2 (the Dominator ram), and only ran with the ram in 3 and 4 (Patriot). It ran fine all night. I then ran some heat tests, with the same ram in bays 1 and 2. When the Patriot ram was in those two slots, it ran cooler. When the Dominator was in, it ran hotter. The Dominator's builtin heat-sinks pretty much rest right next the CPU's heatsink (and restrict air flow). It re-arranged the ram so the Dominators are in 3 and 4. And the Sector 5 are in 1 and 2. It worked all night yesterday, CPU didn't get any hotter that 48c while having multiple programs running. Looking at it now, the design of this MB is pretty bad, there should be a little more space between the CPU and the ram. In any case, I will follow up if it continues to crash due to heating issues. I know it's probably cheaper to get new ram, but I'm playing with the idea of just getting a better heat-sink for the CPU (WATER COOLED)!

T420 nvidia GPU driver crash

Hi all.
I have an annoing issue with my t420's gpu. Driver seems to crash very often when i use gpu-hungry apps. i get a message like this "nvidia kernel driver has stopped responding but was recovered'. Maybe anoyone has the same problem and solved it?
System is windows 8 64bit with the latest updates and video drivers.

Lock PCI/AGP to 66/33, that's the first thing.
2nd thing, get a better RAM.
3rd thing, get a better PSU.

After updating to Firefox5.1, Nvidia kernal mode driver frequently "not responding & crashed then recovered", along with crashing of the Firefox browser.

After updating to Firefox5.1, Nvidia kernal mode driver frequently "not responding & crashed then recovered", along with crashing of the Firefox browser.

I have the same problem. I just upgraded to Win 7, no problems. Then I upgraded to FF 4.0, and I kept getting Nvidia Video Card crashes. I always undo my last computer change/install when something like this happens, so I immediately uninstalled 4.0, and went back to my older version of Firefox. No problems ever since.

Palm Zire 31 sat idle for too long and then my hard drive crashed - I have recovered my palmOne files from the hard drive but don't know how to install to desktop?

Since this product is no longer supported by the manufacturer, I hope that someone out there will be able to help me find a way to get my calendar and contacts restored to the desktop. My handheld sat unused for a very long time, but my desktop calendar and contacts were current up until my hard drive crashed. I was able to recover the PalmOne files from the crashed hard drive but all I can see are *.dat files. When I try to import or restore, the *.dat is not a supported file extension. HELP! I have the original installation CD. Thank you
Post relates to: Zire 31

.dat are the actual working files Palm Desktop is looking for - you can't import them.
Just create a user in Palm Desktop and copy the .dat files (that have more than 1k of data) over the existing address.dat and datebook.dat (or calendar.dat, I forget which existed on your device).

Satellite A660 - VGA driver crash wen streaming video

Satellite A660 - my computer gets stuck and the VGA driver crashes and then recovers when I am watching Youtube or any other streaming site. I think there is a issue with VGA drivers. I have Windows 7 64 bit. Rarely, windows get totally frozen and needs to be cold booted.
Any ideas friends?

Hey,
Yes, sometimes I read about such issues here in forum but the solution is quite simply: Update the display driver!
You can download newest drivers for your notebook on official Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
But before you install the newest version I would recommend removing the old one first and restart your notebook. Then you install the newest one.
I hope it works :)

My hard drive crashed on my apple computer recently. I have a new one, but it won't sync with apple tv1, and I want to retrieve my photos from teh appletv1. It appears in devices now, but won't let me go any further with it. Help

The hard drive crashed on my apple computer and I lost a lot of photos. I want to recover them from my apple tv1, but the computer won't seem to pair up with the apple tv. The Apple tv does appear in devices, but it won't let me go any further. The 'apply' button is a pale grey colour and you can't click on it. Help!!

there is no facility to recover your photos from the appletv.
the only way to link the appletv to your new "system" is to remove the existing itunes link and then link it to the new itunes - this will delete all content from the appletv though.

I consolidated my library to an external hard drive then the drive crashed. How can I restore it?

I consolidated my library to an external hard drive, a few days later the drive crashed. Everything still exists on the local computer in the old locations. How do I tell iTunes to use the old locations again? I don't need to redownload anything, I hadn't purchased anything between the consolidation and the crash.
Due to space contraints, the way it was stored before was not the iTunes default. Most things were in the default location, but the media folder location was on a separate hard drive.

Sort of. My media was on multiple hard drives, some local, and actually some networked, and then I conolidated it to a single external hard drive. Renaming drives and moving files sounds like a recipe for disaster.
When doing a consolidation, files are copied to a new location and the old ones are left untouched. Does iTunes create a backup database of the file locations before doing a consolidation? I could use the backup if that were the case, since everything still exists in the original locations.
I've recieved my replacement hard drive for the one that crashed and I may be able to copy everything back manually if I knew where it went. I looked inside the iTunes Music Library.xml to see if I could figure out the folder structure, but for some reason they all say they're located in the iTunes folder in My Documents. They're not, of course.
Would the Previous iTunes Library.itl be of any use, or is that for another purpose?
