Every now and again, my screen goes black and after it has come back, I get a message saying "Display driver stopped responding" with some more words underneath. Unfortunately, the message doesn't stay on the screen long enough to properly read what it says.

Does this mean I have a faulty display driver please and if so, what should I do about it please?:confused:
