Graphics card driver has stopped responding and has recovered
I am running a GeForce 9500 GT on my Windows 7 64-bit machine. Everything was working perfectly until a few days ago when I had to forcefully restart my computer several times while trying to troubleshoot a problem with my monitor not receiving the signal. Changing the DVI cable fixed it instantly, so I assume it was just a faulty wire, but ever since I've been unable to run any graphic card taxing application properly. When I try the screen flashes, the window gets garbled up and I get an error message saying that my driver has stopped responding and recovered. The program works "normally" afterwards except that the whole process repeats itself at every loading screen, scene change etc.
I have tried reinstalling the driver and followed the instruction here "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" error in Windows 7 or Windows Vista (though only method one really applied and caused a blue screen).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
