"Display driver stopped responding and has recovered"

yes

should I do this? "Automatically Detect and Install Your Driver" That will then give me the newest version?

yes you can try that

I also ran a right-click check and my PC says 'your AMD software is up to date'

I would still do what you said in post 12

do u think it will fix the problem?

possibly. but you never answered me on cleaning out inside of computer. over heating can cause this too.

I've cleaned it our fairly recently.

then do the driver update

Let me ask you this- (I am scared to do this.) if it screws up my PC, I could do the system restore?- but if it screws up the video, I wouldn't be able to see the screen to do the rollback. Does that make sense?
