W701ds Nvidia display driver crashes frequently

Hello, I have a W701ds with 16gb of ram running Win7 Pro 64bit. Using preinstalled OS. My display driver keeps crashing (about once an hour or so) with an error message that the display driver recovered from an error. The screen goes black for a few seconds and then returns. This generally happens when I am watching a video or working in Powerpoint, Adobe After Effects, etc. All drivers are up to date. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and do you have any recommendations as to how I can resolve this? Thanks all.

Been a couple months since the video card was replaced. Happy to say I am ROCK solid now!! Absolutely zero display crashes even running heavy applications!

Satellite Pro A100-080: NVidia display driver crashing during 3D Games

Hello,
i have some problems with the display driver since i've bought the notebook 9 month ago. I've tried to install every new driver published on the toshiba homepage but no driver is running stable on my system.
The problem is that my notebook is crashing with bluescreen during playing 3d games and my windows vista tells me its the display driver causing the crashes.
I had the previous version of the driver installed several month ago and i feel it was more stable than the current version. But unfortunately i've lost the files for that one, but i would prefer any functional driver for this notebook.

Hi,
below you will find a small list of games i've tried on my system.
Supreme Commander
Halflife 2 (including several mods)
World in Conflict Demo
Warhammer - Mark of Chaos
Warhammer - Dawn of War
X3
I've also tried to play the older games on compatibility mode, but this doesnt run. At least one of those games should run properly on my system, but none is running.

With hardware acceleration enabled, and with plenty of tabs open, using the Windows 7 taskbar preview option will almost always crashed the nVidia display driver.

Latest Firefox 4 beta 6.
nVidia GT240 1GB DDR3 with driver version 258.96.
Windows 7 Ultimate.
If I have plenty of tabs opened, in Firefox 4 beta 6 with hardware acceleration enabled, using the Windows 7 Taskbar preview feature (that will show all the tabs Firefox has loaded) will cause the Nvidia display driver to crash. When this happen, the GUI part of Firefox will be unusable and has to be killed via Task Manager.
This doesn't happen if hardware acceleration is disabled.

It is beta software and the older 4.0 b6 version may not work with all display drivers.

MSI 660 TI PE Display Driver crashes

First, here is my system.
i5-2500k Processor (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072) (Processor is overclocked to 4.3ghz, temp on it never goes over 45-50°C though)
MSI Geforce GTX 660TI PE Video card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127696)
Asus P8Z68-V Pro\Gen 3 Motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131790)
Corsair HX series HX650 Power Supply (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139012)
4x4GB of G.Skill Ram (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314)
When my old MSI P67A-GD55 Motherboard bricked a month ago, instead of waiting on RMA I went ahead and got the Asus board, at the same time I went ahead and upgraded my old Asus GTX 560TI card to the MSI GTX 660TI card. Since the upgrade, I am constantly getting display driver crashes "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." when playing games. Guild Wars 2 and Starcraft 2 are the only ones I've had time to try, but both consistently give driver crashes after awhile (sometimes as soon as 15-20 mins, sometimes takes several hours of gameplay).
Here is the list of things I've already tried:
-First, I tried the most recent Nvidia drivers. Still crashes.
-Second, I tried running driver sweeper, removing all old drivers and reinstalling. Still crashes.
-Third, I tried disabling TDR in the Win7 registry. Still crashes.
-Fourth, I really ramped up the auto fan speeds. So far it hasn't crashed while doing this, but I can't do it for too long because the fans get so loud that it annoys me greatly.
-Fifth, I thought it might be an old Motherboard driver conflict of some sort, so I completely formated my OS hard drive and reinstalled Windows 7. Still getting crashes.
-Sixth, I used driver sweeper again and rolled back to the last official MSI drivers (the ones from October). Still getting crashes.
I really don't think the card is overheating. The most recent crash happened tonight after playing Starcraft 2 for about 20 minutes, and the temperature of the card never got over 60°C. That's why even with the extremely ramped up fan speeds I tried, I think if I used them long enough, the driver would still crash.
The power supply is the same as what I used with the 560TI and it didn't have these issues. And from my understanding, the 560TI consumed more power than the 660TI.
At this point, I'm at my wits end. The only thing else I know to try is swapping out the old 560TI in with the new motherboard or waiting for my old motherboard to come back from RMA and trying the 660TI in it. Though that means rebuilding the case, uninstalling the new mobo drivers and installing the old mobo drivers and authenticating Windows. Doing all of that is going to kill most of a day and I really only want to do that if I absolutely have to.
I've had such limited time for troubleshooting the card, that I'm regrettably past the 30day limit on RMA replacements to Newegg. So unfortunately that means I'm looking at an RMA directly to MSI and that takes about a month. Before I do that, does anyone have any advice on something to try that might be the cuplrit or can help determine the culprit? I can't find any details in the Event Viewer as to what caused the driver crash. Just that it has stopped responding and has recovered. I wish it could tell me if there was a loss of power, or anything. Power Management Mode is set to prefer maximum performance btw.
Btw, as a brief description of what happens. The screen goes black, and then comes back and the game is running very slowly. There will also usually be a popup above the taskbar saying that the driver had crashed. I keep the MSI Afterburner info window open in my second monitor and Power usage never goes over 80%, GPU Usage is usually around 95-99%. Core Clock and Memory clock drop to about 324mhz (which is what it idles at) temporarily during the crash. GPU Usage of course dips to very low levels while the driver is crashing, as well.
Oh and in an added twist, I've run Kombuster several times. Burn-in test DirectX 11 1920x1600 8xMSAA as long as five hours, and the display driver has never crashed. I'll probably turn it on, and disable the computer's sleep and display off tonight and let it run for about 8-9 hours and see what happens. That's one thing that throws me off, if it's a hardware defect, wouldn't Kombuster cause it to crash?
edit-Here is a screenshot of the Afterburner monitor during a crash while playing Starcraft 2. The huge dip in the bars that I have the cursor over is when the crash occured.

Well with the Power% limited to 75%, I just had another crash in Starcraft 2. Temp was only at 56°C just before the crash.
Here is a shot of the Afterburner Hardware Monitor when it crashed:
Unfortunately I do not have another PC to test the card in. And I don't know anyone around here with a system that the card could work in.
If I swapped out the 660TI with my old 560TI and I do not get any crashes, wouldn't that indicate it's the 660TI's fault and I'd need to RMA since the 560TI is a more power hungry card?

When I have firefox open, it crashes at the same time as my display driver crashes (Crash signature: kernelbase.dll@0xb9bc)

The screen turns black (audio remains normal if I'm playing music) and then flickers back on. I get a message that says "Nvidia display driver stopped responding and has recovered successfully." This happened before and Firefox wouldn't always crash, but the last few days it happens several times a day and Firefox always crashes at the same time as the display driver.

No, they aren't working on the same files. All 3 employees are working on different files.
They are all on Dell Optiplex GX745 with 4 Gb of RAM.
The crashes are at different times, not all 3 crashing at the same time. Therefore, I don't believe network is the cause of the issues. Also, it didn't crash on CS5, but now it does on CS6.
What I'm looking for are possible settings within Illustrator CS6 that I can tweak to make it a more stable program.
Thanks

NVIDIA Diplay driver crashes in Premiere Pro CS5.5

I have been editing AVCHD video in the latest version of Premiere Pro CS5.5 for some time now and then suddenly about 3 weeks ago I started having problems where the NVIDIA display driver for my GTX 580 would crash and then recover but kick me out of Premiere Pro in the process. I had the Mercury Playback Hardware engine enabled. Chaging it to software render mode fixed the issue and ultimately rolling my video drivers back to a previous version seemed to eliminate the problem completely allowing me to enable hardware render mode again.
I turned off auto updates on my video card since then and last night the problem suddenly came back. This time software render mode crashes too. I can even have Premiere Pro open and not be doing anyhting and sometimes after a while it just randomly crashes. It happens with all my projects and never in the same place on the timeline.
I deleted all of the render files and recreated them and even imported the project into a new project. This did not fix it.
I tried reinstalling old and new drivers using the "clean install" feature. No good.
I edited the TDR settings in my registry increasing the delay time before it recovers as recommended by Microsoft when this issue occcurs and this did not resolve my issue.
I am really concerned now because from everyhting I have read it should be working in software render mode. Since it's not I am at a loss.
I have other programs that use CUDA hardware rendering and none of them have an issue. It just seems to be with Premiere.
I also checked the temperature of the video card and that's fine. No overheating issues with my MOBO either.
I read somewhere that it could even be caused by a drop in clock speed on the card so I downloaded a utility to overclock my card and that didn't resolve the issue either.
Any ideas? I'm in crunch time on a major project and I can't render, export or do anything without it crashing.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit, 12 GB of RAM, terabytes of hard drive space and an intel 6 core processor. My specs are well above the requirements. I have had this card since December and like I said, the issues just started a few weeks ago.
Thanks.

I am not at home so I haven't tried rolling back further but I can confirm the version drivers that I tried are 320.18 which was working for a while, 320.49 and 327.23.
For reference I have Premiere Pro CS5.5.2 and the latest Windows 7 64-bit updates installed.
The mobo is an ASUS P6T Deluxe.
When I reinstall the NVIDIA drivers I use the clean install option which completely removes the previous version before reinstalling. I found that I have to reinstall this is the best way since uninstalling from the control panel only adds the drivers back on a reboot.

Intel display driver crashes on S1 Yoga running 64-bit Windows 8.1

Whenever my machine comes out of suspend mode, the display driver crashes. It goes to a black screen for about 8 seconds then I get the error "display driver intel hd graphics drivers for windows 8 (r) stopped responding and has successfully recovered". The black screen is consistent but the error is occasional. I also got the error when performing a right click on the desktop to enter the display properties. I am running the most current driver for my graphics card and the most current BIOS version. After researching this problem online it appears that it is a known issue but the fixes I saw posted all included using an older driver from another manufacturer. Is there a better fix from Lenovo out there?

Hi @curtisa, @guigs2 and @rmcguigan,
Thanks for your responses.
I managed to get eWallet working correctly for 24 hours approx. by uninstalling Firefox, running CCleaner, deleting all Mozilla references on my system drive, scanned for virus using Win Defender, SuperAntiSpyware, and SpyHunter, (nothing reported) then again downloading and installing the current version of FF to "Program Files (x86)".
However next morning, it had failed again.
I checked the Windows event log and it shows an error with a Source of .NET Runtime. The application is eWallet.exe, Framework Version V4.0.30319, Exception Info SystemAccessViolationException.
I'm not sure what that all means, and would welcome any further suggestions.
Cheers
Steve

V570 Nvidia display driver problem

Hi,
I just bought a laptop Lenovo V570 with the serial nr.: 59-3157502y. When i try to instal the nvidia display driver i get the message: "This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware".
Please give a solution how to fix this problem. I had high expectations for this product....
Tks

In the drop down list you're picking Geforce 500 series, you should be picking Geforce 500M series (notebook)

Lenovo b560 can't install nvidia display driver

hello i've learned that lenovo b560 computers got 2 graphic cards one is intel hd graphics other is nvidia 310m but i can't install the nvidia driver it always gives the no compatible drivers found error :/

hi Frost1,
Welcome to the Forums.
The B560 with Intel+Nvidia graphics uses the Nvidia Optimus Technology to switch between the Intel GPU (for power saving) and the Nvidia GPU (for applications that requires more processing power).
If you have Windows 7, try the following:
1. Restart the machine and hit F8. On the menu, select "Disable driver signature enforcement".
- Sample image
2. Install these drivers then reboot:
1st: Intel Onboard Graphics Driver for Windows 7 (64-bit)
2nd: NVIDIA Display Driver for Windows 7 (64-bit)
If you still get the error, can you PM me your serial number or indicate your machine type (e.g., 0679-3JU) to check the PC specs.
Regards

Satellite P105 - Can't install nVidia display driver

I tried completing the download multiple times for the nVidia Display Driver 9.7.5.4.
The first times the setup would not complete citing "that this computer does not have the correct hardware.." , then the Windows message came up and said that "if this setup did not complete successfully click here blabla" and I did that.
Now when I run the setup it still stops in the same spot. But now it says that *"the setup can not be completed because this driver only runs on Windows Vista, and this is not Windows Vista." But the thing is I do have Windows Vista!*

Hi
> Current Display Driver: Mobile Intel(R) 945 GM Express ChipSet Family
And then you want to install an nVidia display driver?
LOL :D
I think you can not install an nVidia display driver because your notebook is equipped with a Intel chipset and graphic card.
You will never be able install nVidia display driver and so did get the message that you don’t have the correct hardware.
Intel graphic cards and nVidia graphic cards are different things so do not mix it!
Some P105 was equipped with nVidia cards and otheres with Intel card and it seems that you have an Intel card.

Satellite 2450-201: nVidia display driver

i have just downloaded the latest nvidia display driver for satellite 2450-201 from toshiba and now the display has gone worse the driver is 3.6.4.8. for nvidia gforce 420 go what shall i do i have tried rolling back it wont let me! and i dont have a sytem restore point either is there some settings in nvidia help!

Hi
Usually the original Toshiba driver should works properly and without any errors.
In you case I would recommend starting the OS in the safe mode and then to enter the device manager.
There you can select the Display adapters area and there you can uninstall the graphic driver.
Then download the right driver from the Toshiba page and install it again!!!

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

Look at this thread:

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...

NVidia Display Driver Service - with Radeon / Intem GMA T500?

The T500 has switchable Radeon / Intel integrated graphics.
On the T500, Services lists:
nVidia Display Driver Service
- Provides system and desktop level support to the NVIDIA display driver
Does the T500 use this Service for anything?

Kay! Took me forever, but I bloody found it ~ !

NVIDIA display driver on Satellite 2450-201

what shall i do!

Hi
Did you install the driver from the Toshiba page??
If not so visit the Toshiba driver page and download the right driver.
Its not recommended to use NOT Toshiba graphic card drivers.
Then I would recommend checking the display properties if the notebook screen was set as the primary monitor. Mark the display with the number 1 and check it the option Use this device as the primary monitor was enabled.
Furthermore check in the Advanced option in the nView tab if the nView mode was set to standard and that the option Make this the primary display was enabled for the notebook screen.

NVIDIA Display Driver Version 2.9.4.2

Windows Update for Windows 2000 is listing NVIDIA Display Driver Version 2.9.4.2 under Drivers.
Does anyone know about this version? I am not having any problems with the Nvidia drivers that I downloaded and installed so I have not installed this update.

It is the version that comes with windows and will automatically install if you have a card listed within the reference file.
I usually have to chase it down and delete all the references to that version as XP will continually load that driver without any intervention from the user.
Very frustrating
