Solved Display driver stopped working and recovered

[Manojit Ghosh]

I am facing this problem once in each 3-4 hrs.
Everything is getting frozen and display is going black
for 2-3 seconds.Then I am getting a message like:

Display driver stopped working for Windows Vista(R)
and recovered.

The point is that I am running Windows7 Professional
(32-bit).

A few minutes ago I got a blue screen.
Everything is running fine for now but that can happen again.
Please help me solve this problem.

These are some information which might be useful:

Intel(R) G41 Express Chipset (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)
Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Chip type: Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
Display Memory: 782 MB

I am getting this error after formatting my PC a few days ago.
Thanks in advance.

dont be frustrated, it may happen with your software malfundtions.
it may happen sometime, but would not repeat in a sequence.
if there was a repeat tell to analyse the situation

Hi Manojit,

You may not be running the most optimal 'display driver' in the computer; you may try to update/re install 'graphics' if you encounter the issue again.

If you need more help in locating an 'apt driver', please share the 'graphics adapter(s)' installed in your computer. I will try to search for 'optimal drivers'.

Hope this helps. Do reply if you have any further questions. I would be glad to assist.

It is happening again and again .I am getting that error once in
each 3-4 hrs.Meanwhile I have uninstalled and reinstalled
the driver from device manager. But that didn't solve the problem.

Please help me.I have given all required information in this and the
previous post.

Where are you getting the drivers from ? Are you going directly to nvidia.com or amd.com ?

Or the laptops manufacturer.

take 32bits version for 32bits win7!

I don't think the processor, or a specific GPU has been mentioned. Those could be causing a problem if they are overclocked, or can't be handled by the PSU.

 

[mmkarimi]

is it a pc or laptop?
use process explorer and check for any un wanted program running beside your os
download it from here:
Process Explorer

check for the fans (EPS CPU and GPU fan) and monitor your system temperature. you may use real temp
from here:
Real Temp - CPU temperature monitoring
run check disk error
you may restore your system to a previous setpoint

Card name: Intel(R) G41 Express Chipset (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)
It's a built-in graphics card.

Another information is I also have an ATI Radeon HD 4350 which I was using
a few months ago.I was getting frequent BSoDs ,so I switched to the built-in
graphics card.Now I am getting errors from this card also.

Thanks again for help to everyone who has helped me.

Remove the ATI Radeon HD 4350 so disconnect it physically

after doing what the above person said....

This happened to me when i was overclocking my card, it was a sign i had to take it back a bit, i just wanted to put that outhere as it may help your issue even tho your not overclocking

First enable Automatically deliver drivers via Windows Update (Step 3)

Then run Windows Updates and install all IMportant and Optional.

Was there a newer Display driver provided which Win7 wants?

If not import the latest from the Support Downloads webpage for your PC or Display Device model given in Device Manager. If unknown check your PC or Display card specs, or trace with Hardware Identification
