This just started happening today, I start up my computer and I can play around some and then my screen goes black and comes back seconds later. I get the message about my display driver being restarted.
I took a look in device manager and found this every time it happens:
"Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
My drivers are up to date according to Nvidia's site.
My graphics card is the Nvidia GTX 580.
I have no idea what could make this happen just so randomly.
If you need more information just ask.
Also, my problem is just like this guys: [url]http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=197843&st=0&p=1223541&hl=BSOD&fromsearch=1&#entry1223541[/url]
I don't know if this would be usefull, but I just noticed when it happens my Mozilla Firefox crashes aswell, but any audio that is playing still sounds great.

• Reinstall drivers, the whole thing. Use [url=http://downloads.guru3d.com/Guru3D---Driver-Sweeper-(Setup)_d1655.html]driversweeper[/url]
If ^ fails pop out the graphics card and pop it back in.
Says my graphics card temperature is 59C.
EDIT: I will try what you said when I get back form school later today.
If it's 59c while idle, that's a tad bit high.
Run the furmark stress test and check the maximum temp.
I used to get this once in a while in TF2 but not really from any other game, so I think its normal to do this once in a while but if it happens all the time you may have a problem with the drivers or a bad GPU like I had.

It's not normal.
Have you done any overclocking?
I got home and opened up my computer and pushed my card in some, I haven't have the problem yet, but ill keep you posted.
^^No
