[SOLVED] Display driver problem

Ferius · 08-26-2007, 02:25 PM

I'm having a problem with my display driver in which when I'm playing a game (Even a low requirements game such as half life 2) it usualy stopes the game and goes back o the desktop where it tells me: "the display driver has recovered". I have no idea what the prolem is. This just started a few days ago even befor I installed the new driver (And yes, I did uninstall the drivers with add/remove progams)..... My graphics card is a brand new 8800 GTS 320 mb Superclocked and is running on Windows Vista 32 bit. I have 3 gig's of RAM and Intel Core 2 Quad. This problem only occures when I'm playing a game and I have not had any problems before like this.

did you check your power supply was good enough for the card
in the device manager uninstall the card
reboot tapping f8 and choose vga mode
when windows finishes booting
disable a/virus
install your drivers
reboot the computer

First try this if you still face the same. Update the driver for your graphic card and let us know what happens next.
