"Display Driver stopped responding and has recovered"

Acer Aspire laptop W7x64 Intel i3 2GB full updates

No games or video used.

This error message shows up about twice a day. No specific task, no bad repercussions, just annoying and just maybe something is wrong.

Is there a problem? So many other threads in MG point to no solution at all.

Thank you.

 

Hi muymalestado.

I would try updating the display driver. You should be able to go to Acer support for your comp to see if an update is available.

 

Thank you gloozit. I will try.

 

Ya, that's what solved it for me some 5 years ago. I was impressed with Vista ATT for not throwing up a BSOD as that was what XP did, at least in my memory. It's too bad it's still an issue. Sometimes it's better to rollback too.

 

You need to update your driver to version 285.62 and you should not see the error message any more unless you have your graphics card overclocked and it's unstable.
