Display Driver

[Hammer]

Hello All,
Just wondering if anyone else has run into this problem.....When playing ArmA 2 or and other games I get a black screen. I can play for awhile then it happens. I get an error message saying = Display driver stopped working and has recovered. I have to ctrl + Alt + Delete to get out of it.
I updated to the latest Nvidia Forceware driver for my Nvidia GTX 275 running Vista 64 bit , I turned off Windows Vista Aero Theme and I also switched around my memory and still nothing fixed this problem.
Old HamDog looking for some......HELP!!!!!

Make sure your new card isn't overheating.

Hello Strango,

This happened with my old card also...

Thanks

Hammer, I have had the same message as well. I have a 9800GTX+ and my driver is whatever the newest one that they had out for my card in the spring of 2009. I just ignored it and it went away (well, I have not had any issue for several months anyway). You might have to reboot in some cases, but it is just a BS message.

I think this happened to my old 8800 GTX a couple of years ago. I think if you uninstall all the nvidia video drivers and give yourself a clean install it may help. I seem to recall it worked for me (it was a long time ago)

If that doesn't work, it may be an overheating (try taking off you computer case when you play to help the card cool down) or a power supply issue.

If it happened on 2 different cards (but same case) I would think this is a power supply issue or a over heating issue.
