    Use this:

    Reboot the computer, repeatedly press F8 to access Advanced Boot Options. Select Safe Mode.
    When Safe Mode has loaded, Start > QuickSearch “Device Manager” or Start > Control Panel > View by: Large Icons > Device Manager.
    On Device Manager - Display Adapters > [select onboard GPU](This should be something like "NVIDIA GTX 580" or "AMD RADEON 6850") – right click > Uninstall. Do not select the option Delete the driver software for this device.
    Uninstall the GPU, and reboot the computer normally.
    On Windows, wait for the card to reinstall. When the card is reinstalled, you should receive the message “Device [GPU Name] has been successfully installed ”. When this notification appears, close it and install the new 301.42 driver.
    Reboot the computer ONCE MORE and the problem should be fixed.

    to install the drivers...
    or just get a replacement.

    I'm getting this error "Display driver has stopped working and was recovered" too...
    My computer has been running fine, but now, suddenly, I've started getting this error. You can get the system specs from my profile. I'm also having the GTX 580...

    Yup. Try uninstalling it/doing all the suggestions on the last page, or download the beta drivers

    Okay, I'll try by downloading beta drivers first. If they don't help, I'll try the uninstalling.

    Uh... Just one question before I do this. Is this safe? (uninstalling graphics card) 100% safe? Since I don't want to damage my computer and/or it's hardware.
