My screen freezes and goes blank for a second, and a pop up comes in the corner saying "display driver stopped responding and has recovered."
I've been having this problem for months. I've updated to the latest drivers, tried the beta drivers, etc. and my temperatures are fine.
Video card: Nvidia GeForce 8800GT
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I've had this very problem once. It was because my PSU wasn't powerful enough for my GPU.
Have you overclocked it at all?
1. It's a 500 watt
2. No
I once had 25 in one hour while idle. The reason is the drivers for around that time (7-9 series) were never made to do well. They'll work in XP fine but their LDDMKM driver for those series haven't done well since Vista's release. (Given it is better now).
Any solutions then besides not using Aero? I switched to Windows 7 Classic for now. The drivers haven't failed yet with the classic theme.
It can be caused by many things.

Listing them might help.
[url=http://www.nvlddmkm.com]There is a whole website devoted to trying to find ways to fix that nvlddmkm driver has stopped responding.[/url]
People still have issues with ATi cards with a similar error message.
Some fixes work for some people, others find the problem goes away all of the sudden, others have tried all of the solutions and had no luck.
This and nvstor64 were annoying the shit out of me. I used driver sweeper, and reinstalled the latest drivers, haven't had a problem since.

I did that twice and it didn't help. Maybe my video card is dying.
I only got the error when I ran crysis on very high after about 1-3 minutes with my 4890 OC'd to 1GHz.
