Win 7 error message - Display driver stopped responding

Windows 7, 32bit, during normal use makes the sound of a USB device being detached and then the screen goes black.
After a few seconds the screen comes back again but the computer hardly responds to anything; then the screen goes black again. This error message is displayed: "display driver Intel Graphics Accelerator Drivers for Windows Vista(R) stopped responding and has been successfully recovered.
There is no option but to manually shut the computer down.
I updated the display driver and bios, but it still happens 3 to 4 times a day.

Hi
Youve got an preinstalled Win 7 on your notebook
But the error message means that:
>display driver Intel Graphics Accelerator Drivers for Windows Vista(R) stopped responding
Seems Vista graphic card driver is installed on Win 7 OS.
Maybe you should remove the Vista display driver and should install an Win 7 graphic driver.

Adobe CS 5.5 Photoshop error I get the message "display driver stopped responding".

I just purchased and installed Adobe CS 5.5. I launched Photoshop and when I tried to view an image photoshop crashed and I get the message "display driver stopped responding". I couldn't do anything after that. I have HP elitebook laptop, not sure if that makes a difference. Please advise and what I can do to fix the problem.

NVIDIA Display Driver Stopped Responding

I have a HP EliteBook 8540w WIN 7 x64 with a Quadro FX 880M card
Regularly my graphics card stops responding with the error message ,” Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 261.28 stopped responding and has successfully recovered”
This usually happens when I am scrolling ( usually with the wheel on my mouse ) in Adobe Acrobat X ( 10.0.1 ) or Mozilla Firefox 4 ( although I suspect the Flash plug-in there ) where Firefox will then crash ( Acrobat doesn't usually crash )
I have spent far too much time searching forums and updating drivers running Windows / HP updates etc and would like some real technical input. I do suspect Adobe ( I have contacted NVIDIA and HP also ) I would hope someone have access to what is actually going on here.

A friend of mine having the same model and setup also has the problem. I'm student Aerospace engineering at Delft University of Technology and this model is currently sold in the DUT's high end laptop. A lot of people have them and so I'm a little bit surprised that no-one has heard of the problem yet.

HP Pavilion DV6-6077er Display driver stopped responding and has recovered

Hello!
I am using this laptop for 3rd year already. OS is Windows 7, every standard driver is downloaded from the official page and installed.
I have a problem, which sometimes occurs while using web browser, graphic-editing software and some games.
The screen starts flickering and then recovers with a message: "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered".
I am usind official AMD drivers from 2011.
Before I have tried to install unofficial drivers or drivers from AMD web site, but all of them had random BSODs and errors. Only the official driver works stable, but sometimes causes this error.
Is there any possible fix for it?

Hi Kakofonn,
At this point I would recommend doing either a System Restore to when it worked or if you don't use restore points do a full System Recovery. If you go this route make sure that you back up your information you don't want to lose. If you don't want to do that then I would recommend calling HP as they will be able to remotely login to your computer. You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 or start here if you live outside of North America.

Satellite L500 - display driver stopped responding and has recovered

hi
i have a concern regarding an error in my pc ......
the error is "display driver stopped responding and has recovered"
i had been reinstelled the windows as well as search for apdated inter display driver
but i didnt work .....
i appreciate for any advice and instruction regarding this problem....
thank you very much

In most cases such error message is caused by graphic card driver.
Not quite sure why the graphic card driver stops responding but I think an simple GPU driver reinstallation should be helpful to sort out such issues.
In my case such message appeared in the past for one time. It happened while gaming.
I guess there was an problem between the driver and game or maybe the GPU temperature was too high however, it was an temporal issue.

Display driver stops responding but recovers every2 or 3 startups

Hi All
All the following started after my free download from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1
I get some flashes then a black screen for a second then computer is ok however I get the following message
" Display Driver stopped responding and has recovered.
   Display driver Intel Graphics display driver for Windows 8.R
   stopped responding and has recovered sucessfully "
The notice then fades away.
Every now and then ( at least 6 times now ) I get a notice from windows that offers to solve a problem with Intel Graphics driver, It tells me to click here to download the update from ASUTeK Computer Inc.
I down load the update as suggested and when finished get the following
                                 ERROR
This computer does not meet theRequirements for installing this software
Windows then asks me if this information was helpful and I check the NO box, in about 3 weeks I then get the identical message.
I am afraid the darn thing will not recover sometime and I will be left with a black screen forever ?
Can Anyone help ??

Post your full model number!!
You must follow the Toshiba upgrade instructions when upgrading from Windows 8 to 8.1, the instructions are here -http://support.toshiba.com/sscontent?contentId=4003162
If you do follow the instruction you will have issues, the only fix is to recovery to factory settings (refresh/reset) then start over.
These items must be un installed before updating and then re installed after updating to W 8.1, see picture:

Satellite A500 - Display driver stopped responding

Hi,
3 weeks ago I bought brand new Toshiba A500. I post here because I didn't find any helpful solution.
Here is specification:
Processor: intel core i3 M330 2.13GHz
Graphic: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (1024 MB)
Hard drive: MJA2320BH G2 (320 GB, 5400 RPM, SATA-II)
RAM: 2X 2 GB DDR3-1066 DDR3 SDRAM (7-7-7-20 @ 533 MHz) (6-6-6-18 @ 457 MHz)
Audio: Realtek ALC272 @ Intel Ibex Peak PCH
System: Windows 7 64bit - directed from Toshiba
The issue is: at random situations, the screen is turn black for a couple of seconds, then the message is pop up saying "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered - display driver NVIDIA Kernel Mode Driver, Version 187.98 stopped responding and has successfully recovered." It happens several times per day.
Sometimes display driver can't be recovered and than system hangs and must be reset. Problem occur at first day after five minutes of using (when there wasn't install anything without OS).
Problem occurs always during normal working with applications (MS office, firefox, etc.). It's completely random - there in not two the same situations - so when I watch hd films in youtube on full screen it crashes several times, but when I restart OS and than play the same movie it works correctly.
Application causes this problem is called TDR (Time-out Detection and Recovery).
This application reset GPU when didn't get respond during 2 sec. But in Windows7 registry doesn't have entries controlled this application.
Since than I tried following solutions:
- BIOS update;
- System reinstall;
- Display driver update to version 197.16;
- Checking temperature on graphic card (when issue occurs temperature on graphic card didn't exceed 47deg, and processor 36deg);
- Java update (older version of Java can causes some device problems);
- Adobe update (same as Java);
- Turn off aero;
- Windows 7 updates;
- Turn off audio (realtek card);
None of them works.
The problem didn't occur during playing games (i.ex. Witcher). I can play 8 hours and nothing weird happens.
I notice also that problem occurs during opening some applications or entering new tasks (when energy demand rapidly increases).
I wondering that is some driver problem or I should return the laptop to the service.
I suspect that problem can be to big difference in voltage on graphic card but I can't verified that.
If somebody meet with this problem I will appreciate any help.

hi,
i had the same issue with my A500-1dn equipped with GT 230 M, getting the message ,,Display driver stopped responding,,. I updated the card graphic driver from nvidia.com 3 weeks ago and since that time it' s gone ( I hope forever).

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.

[W500 and Windows 7] ati display driver stopped responding and has recovered

Hi,
I installed Windows 7 64bit on my W500 (almost 3 weeks old). It installed a driver for the ATI display card from Windows Update. However, since yesterday, I regularly get a driver crash (I assume...).
It's happening when I'm scrolling in a webpage, suddenly the page hangs, the mouse and Windows itself hangs seconds later and after that, after 5 seconds, my screen goes black, the machine beeps and it's back. In the tray, I get an error: ati display driver stopped responding and has recovered.
In the details of the driver, the following can be seen:
Driver Date: 28/04/2009
Driver Version: 8.612.0.0
The card is recognized as a 3650.
Am I doing something wrong here? Can I test with another driver (I tried installing the Windows Vista 64bit, but it doesn't seem to be willing to install...)?
Thanks in advance,
gill

I have the exact same hardware and software (Win7 64) and I'm getting precisely the same symptoms, screen blanks out when I am scrolling a web page vertically using the trackpoint and the center blue trackpoint scroll button.
It's really annoying.
It also never happens when the laptop is in the dock, or when the integrated graphics are engaged, this only happens when the ATI chip is running and only since ATI released the new Windows 7 drivers.
Previously I'd ran this box on on Win7 64 but used the Vista 64 bit graphics drivers from ATI and didn't have the problem, but installation was a pain.

Prob. - ATI 4850: "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered"

Hey all!
I finally got my new iMac last week.
After installing BootCamp my graphics card driver always crashes just after starting Windows (Windows 7 Pro 64bit). I do not need to run any software but the screen shows some "glitches" => black screen => windows recovers and the message "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" appears.
The process reiterates.... just a few seconds later it happens again. Sometimes Windows crashes down completely.
I removed the driver to let Windows install it again. Nothing changend.
Does anybody know the problem and a way to fix it?
I was searching online for the mistakes and i do not know whether its a problem with Windows or the graphics driver.

I did a little bid of research:
I guess the problem is a problem known and there are a few solutions...
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/display/wddm_timeout.mspx
The solution might be to enter windows registry and change the time windows is starting to stop and restart the display driver:
Go to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers and add a new entry (DWord) "TdrDelay" with the number of seconds u want windows to restart the dislay driver. Standard seems to be 2 seconds. I found article giving advice that mentioned 4-8 seconds.
I will give it a try tonight.
Some other people mentioned that it is a problem with a combination of motherboard, cpu, graphics card and main memory. I think this cannot be a problem caused by the OS in generell. Otherwise more people would be confronted. Without a proper solution i will ask Apple for a new one or just send it back...
Others just deactivated Windows Aero and fixed it...

GX740 computer - Display driver stopped responding and has recovered

GX740 computer - Display driver stopped responding and has recovered
hi,
As I told in the title I am experiencing this message: "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" only when I am playing games. The symptoms are a freeze of the screen (but I can still see pointer of the mouse moving) for 10 seconds, then the screen become black, and the game recover. Frequency of this depends of the game, but it can be really often.
To be more precise about the situation: I just sent my laptop to Rma services (for a totally different problem), they said that they updated the vBios of my graphic card.
before sending my laptop, I never experienced this kind of message before. Even if sometimes I used to have GSOD or BSOD screen on certain games.
Moreover, my Graphic drivers are up to date (using driver sweeper and ccleaner ), I tried several stuff to fix this problem, but nothing worked so far. (reinstalling system, try different ATI drivers, all of my drivers are up to date besides, try to set different options in windows, act on registry ... and other stuff).
So I do not know what causes that, maybe the new vBios is not compatible with something ? Ram memory issues ? power issues ?
According to what I read , it is quite a very common message, and it does not seem to be hardware related.
But we never know. Could you please help me on this, because I am running out of ideas to fix this issue.
Thank you for helping
Geoffrey

Svet,
Don't you think that the new bios from the 3D card bring some bugs that could be resolved by flashing the motherboard bios ?
Thanks

The latest vbios should be used with complect with latest EC version.

nevermind... I also contacted the custumer service, and since Friday no answer. Hopefully, here Svet tried to help greatly thx man.
Too bad, we could not fix it.
contact to repair person again and tell them that the notebook which is suppose to be repaired don't work properly..

Display driver stopped responding W510

On my W510 with Windows 7 x64, the screen will go suddenly blank for couple of seconds, then I get the message "Display driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered". My suspicion is that it happens most often when I am running a program that uses Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), but I am not sure. Is there any fix for this? It worries me that the system is going to lock up and lose data at some point.
There is a new NVIDIA display driver (http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook_winvista_win7_x64_197.16_whql.html) as of March 29, 2010. Does anyone know if this would fix it and if it is safe to use this with the W510?

Hi,
I have the exactly same problem on a W510 64bit with Windows 7. I have the latest drivers installed released by Lenovo on 15 June.
From my reading on this and other on-line forums this is a common problem with Lenovos, especially W500, W510.
I have been onto Lenovo Support (it is called "Support" because we are supporting them fix their faulty products ) and they say if you have the latest drivers then it is likely a hardware problem. Forums say the same thing: apparently there is an huge issue with quality of the system boards.
However, I checked my laptop directly at the NVIDIA web site and that scan says my drivers are out of date and should be replaced by an AutoCad driver instead. Curiously their AutoCad driver is dated May which is older than the release date of the driver Lenovo have released but there can be many reasons for this mismatch in dates.
So I don't know if this is a driver or hardware issue. Not do Lenovo Support.
I suggest you should log the problem with Lenovo Support and return the laptop for repair or, if they are really serious about customer service, a new replacement.
Sorry, I understand that this is a "head in hands" moment, but they have your money and you have their faulty product so what else can you do?

SLI GTX 970 Nvlddmkm "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" Error

Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with driver crashes and was hoping someone on here would be able to help. The error I am getting is: Nvlddmkm "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered".
My PC specs are:
Windows 8.1 Pro
i7 4770k with Corsair H100i
2x 8GB HyperX RAM
Asus Maximus VII Ranger Mobo
2x MSI GTX 970's
750w Superflower Leadex PSU
I've noticed that the error usually happens while the cards are cooling down after playing a game, although it has been known to occasionally happen while gaming. I am have MSI Afterburner running and have noticed that the GPU usage spikes up to 100% then the power usage drops completely just before the crash.
This problem has persisted through 3 clean OS installs so I do not believe it is a driver issue.
My initial thoughts were that the PSU could be insufficient, but after some reading online my system really shouldn't draw anywhere near 750w. What do you think? I am not totally clued up on PSU's, so not sure if my wiring could also be causing the issue - here's a pic:
The cards use a single cable that joins both cards for both 8-pins, then two other power cables for the 6-pin. Would this be a problem?
It's also worth noting that the issue doesn't seem to occur when SLI is disabled. I never had any problems with the original card prior to adding a second card though so I do not think it needs RMA'ing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciate. Thanks in advance.

Quote from: Svet on 08-June-15, 17:36:36
oki remove the second card[your old one] and test the newest card only
I will try this tomorrow, thanks.
A bit more info, it crashes with SLI disabled. Just found out tonight for definite.
Here is a screenshot of what MSI Afterburner shows when it crashes.

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.
