Display driver stopped responding

[yowanvista]

I'm have ''Display driver NVIDIA Windows kernel Mode driver,version 195.55 stopped responding and has sucessfully recovered." when i play games.
I don't get this error in Windows XP, only getting it in Win Vista and Win7
I've tried several drivers and even reinstalled Win7 but i can't fix this

Most likely, something to do with system ram.

Visit the maker of you ram modules' site to determine the correct Vdimm (ram voltage) and timings. Set the motherboard accordingly.

Also, could be caused by too much heat on the gpu. Try running with a big room fan blowing inside the open case, as a test.

All RAM timings are set to default. The default voltage is 1.8V
I've also ran memtest86 and no errors were detected
My GPU is not overheating idle temperature is 48C

Right, that's what I'm saying though. Your RAM may require a higher voltage to operate well.

Use the spd tab in CPU-Z to find the exact modules. Then see the maker's site for info on them and what Vdimm/timings should be.

Also, it's still a very good test to run with the fan blowing inside case for other reasons.

I've increased the ram voltage but still having same problem
I've also bought a 2GB stick and the error is still there.
Windows XP seems to be the only solution because I don't get this error with it

Best thing you can do then is to update every driver you can find an update for, especially chipset.

I've recently updated the BIOS
All drivers are up to date.
My RAM is KVR800D2N6/2G but I don't know it's timings as these are not listed on Kingston's website
I've also downgraded to Nvidia driver 182.50, this driver is more stable but i still get that error

It's on Kingston's site:

Kingston Technology Company - Kingston Memory Search - Search Results for: KVR800D2N6/2G

Check this, and see if it fixes the problem.

Using a vga cable instead of dvi is no solution.

Oh okay, so

If it fixes the problem, then isn't it a solution? Many people already tried updating chipset drivers and increasing ram voltage, which doesn't really fix the problem.

Please see this post for a possible solution so you can run DVI.

This did not fix it, I'm already using VGA

I've recently upgraded to 64bit, I noticed that this nvlddmkm error occurs less frequently on Win7x64
The Nvidia drivers appears to be faulty and unstable!

Error 4101 display driver stopped responding... FIX

Error 4101 display driver stopped responding... FIX
Hi
Prior to the Error 4101

I was running Vista 64, this problem was not present. I then did a CLEAN install onto Windows 7 updated all drivers including Chipset then the dreaded “display driver has stopped responding but has now recovered “started to appear during 2d and 3d applications, under event viewer I located the error 4101.

My current system is running stable by following this sequence.

UAC ENABLED
POWER MANAGMENT SET TO HIGH


1. Uninstall all GPU related drivers/ and ADOBE FLASH
2. Turn of PC (not at wall)
3. Clear CMS
4. Boot allow windows to load
5. Shut down then Turn off pc (at wall)
6. Remove GPU and PCI cards
7. Re-install
6. Restart
7. Hit del (load bios)
8. Reset to defaults
9. Load windows
10. Install 9.3 ATI (for me vista 64_win_7 64)
11. Alter TDR in registry set to 0
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/display/wddm_timeout.mspx
12. Look for unsupported monitor d-word change to 0
(Should still be under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers )
13. Restart (happy gaming)

Prior to this, Bioshock and all other games would freeze after 3-7 mins, last night I gamed solid for an hour no freeze.

Ps. I think it is either unsupported monitor modes on windows 7 (1680 by 1050) or the TDR function. Although 1680 by 1050 is detected by CCC and windows, there may still be a compatibility issue. Any hows it’s now working.
I don’t think it is adobe flash plug-in, UAC or power management.

If this works for you spread the word around the community.

Specs
Win 7 64 ( retail )
Asus commando MB
Core 2 Duo e6700
Graphics HD 2900 XT 512

Mine went away i dont know how but i have not seen that message in a while, when it used to happen every few days or so, all though i have done a lot of tweaking and a lot of ram switching and a alot of motherboard switching.

This did not work

I finally fixed the problem by using modded drivers from tweakforce.com instead of the crappy nvidia drivers.
