How I can fix the "Display Driver has stopped responding and has recovered"?
- by Vitor Rangel
I'm using a GeForce GTX 580, with Windows 7 64-bit. The driver version of the GTX is 301.42.
The problem happens after a few minutes, when I'm playing specifc games. It won't happen in all games - And I don't have any idea why these games doesn't work.
The games that doesn't work:
Battlefield 3, Civilization V, Sniper Elite V2.
The games that work:
Mass Effect 3, Crysis 2, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Skyrim, L.A. Noire.
As you can see, it's not a problem of "The games that demand more stop working".
I've tryed updating the driver of the graphics-card, the bios of the motherboard, even formated my computer (It was needing it) and instaled every driver in the last version possible.
This problem happens since I bought my graphics-card, 6 months ago.
After a few minutes, from 10 to 20, the pixels in the monitor become strange, with random colors and effects, like it was broken. Then, everything goes black, and the message appears "Display Driver has stopped responding and has recovered".
After that, I need to close the game and start again. I am not overclocking, and my temperature never goes higher than 70ºC.
