I just got a new computer with NVIDIA GEForce GT 220 graphics card and Windows 7 professional installed
From time to time it says driver crashed and the screen sort of freezes for a while then everything goes back to normal
I have attached a screen shot of my error message
How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance
Downloaded the latest driver from Nvidia for you specific card and OS. Before you install the new driver uninstall the current driver. Some people recommend using a drive removal program such as Guru3D - Driver Sweeper.
If this issue continues after you update the drivers do give the manufacturer’s tech support a call. BTW....

Error - Driver Stopped Responding And Recovered (ATI) or Display Driver nvlddmkm stopped responding (Nvidia) – Do any type of search on these errors and you will get hundreds of hits, even here. This issue started out in Vista and is now seen in Windows 7. As you see, it affects both card manufactures. There are many theories on the causes, as well as solutions, to this problem, but no singular fix seems to work for all. While one fix might work for some, others find they don't work at all. I will however suggest you look at…
