Error: Nvidia/OpenGL driver lost connection with the display drivers..
Hi all, call me McPhil
Now recently I have been getting a problem with my windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. My computer would freeze anywhere from 30 seconds or so to a few minutes, mainly when watching a video mostly on youtube ON YOUTUBE THE SOUNDS WILL EITHER STOP OR SOUND ROBOTY and rarely when I play minecraft. One time it popped up with the error message:
"The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver due to exceeding the Windows Time-Out limit and is unable to continue." in a dialog box and had a Nvidia support link:
OpenGL “lost connection” Meaning | NVIDIA
I do not believe I have made any changes to my computer that would affect this problem (remember this has only started happening recently) finally it is getting frustrating.
