The last thing I will try is that 350 driver. now I cannot use most of my (Steam) games anymore !! Just went through all the steps and suggestions made in THIS THREAD and another one (which I cannot post because the forum software here won't let me). SAME problem started occurring after upgrading an NVidia driver. Uploaded Farm Simulator and some other games (like FarCry). it also made NO DIFFERENCE to the NVidia problem.Įxcept that it now occurred in other games as well, and sometimes when using my various photo softwaresįast forward to a NEW PC with 16 Gb of RAM and a GTX 760 Geforce card. Not only did I lose some of my data (my fault), and a lot of time.
So in the end I decided to upgrade to Windows 10.īIG mistake. I started having this problem on a Windows7 PC last year with Farm Simulator 15 (always worked well) and with a Geforce GTX 580 card in it. Also the Aero theme doesn't have any influence (at least not on my machine). Hope this helps.Īm having the same problem for over a year now. I came on here hoping to find out how many other people had had similar problems with Aero since GTA V was released, to see if it was just my PC or a common problem, so if this works for anyone, please let me know.
I do think newer nvidia drivers are less stable than they once were, but the majority of my crashing seems to have had directly to do with enabling Aero on the dekstop. You will probably see screen tearing in your favorite media player, but assuming your hardware is in good shape, I bet the rest of your problems magically disappear. Try disabling Aero (or whatever they are calling it in newer Windows versions) and see if it helps you. I disabled Aero the other night and all of my problems have vanished.
However I would still get random crashes and frequent "display driver has recovered" messages, especially when watching flash video on the web. I got around this problem by lowering the resolution I was gaming at (my 560 only has 1GB RAM). I did that and VLC worked fine but I would constantly get messages popping up during 3D games that asked me if I wanted to switch to a basic theme (and a checkbox that said "don't ask me again" but never worked). The only solution on the matter I could find that actually worked was to enable Aero. I could play video games all night sometimes, but other times they would freeze.Ī few months ago, I had had a problem with screen tearing and VLC media player. It had seemed like ever since the GTA V drivers came out, I'd get driver crashes left and right, and especially when watching youtube and flash videos (yes, I would get green screens also). I just came here to post about the very same problem.
I am trying to find the best driver to install so I would appreciate any light on this issue. I think there has been a major change in Nvidia drivers throughout last 2 years or so and I think its the cause of this error on many people's PCs. I am going to try going back to v350.12 and test it. Therefore I can only assume its related to the recent Nvidia 64bit drivers. I have also changed the TDRDelay key in the registry and even tried 60 value but it still happens. The strange thing is I have another Windows 7 32bit running on another partition with Nvidia driver v347.09 and it works fine with no "Display driver stopped responding" error message at all! So I think that rules out any hardware problem. I reinstalled flash and cleaned and updated the Nvidia driver a few times but still no joy. My PC runs fine and my GPU (GTX760) seems to handle this resolution with ease. It only happens when I am watching Youtube or Facebook flash HD videos in particular or just browsing photos or watching TV and browsing at same time! It does not happen when playing games at all. It started happening about 6 months ago when I bought a new 32" BENQ QHD monitor and the resolution increased to 2560x1440. I have been getting this annoying "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" message intermittently on my Windows 7 64bit and the screen switches off for 2 seconds or so.
