    Hello

    Here is the explanation for the TDR component. This was introduced in Windows Vista.

    What is a TDR? Windows Vista has a new feature called detection time and recovery (TDR). TDR tries to detect problematic situations and retrieve dynamically to a functional desktop. In operating systems earlier these situations would have led to a freezing of the system and forced customers to restart their PC.

    More information about this feature in Vista can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg487368.aspx.

    Therefore, when you see the error message TDR "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered", you know that the display driver is reset without requiring a reboot.

    ===========================================

    Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
    It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • Display driver stopped working, does not recover...

    HP Pavilion dv7-6015tx

    Windows 7 32 bit

    ATI Radeon HD 6770 m

    Hello

    I thought I had solved this problem before, but it persists today.

    A while back my pc would freeze and then recover, with pop - up saying dialogue

    "display driver has stopped working and recovered."

    Now, it does not recover, it remains just frozen.

    This does not happen when I come back to the graphics card Mobile Intel.

    It freezes when I use AMD ATI Radeon.

    My PC freezes when I lead average graph low load.

    (I watch YouTube videos via the media player and internet browsing)

    This means that I'm not hardcore gaming, however when I'm hardcore gaming my pc does NOT freeze.

    I have the latest software/driver graphic HP provides me with.

    I can't install ATI, because everything I download from there, says it's not compatible with my device.

    I also think that sometimes my pc is overheating.

    I have HP CoolSense set for maximum cooling, however I think that this is not enough. (blue screen of death)

    I tried SpeedFan software of third party temperature sensor that automatically adjusts the fan speed.

    However, I don't think that the software is compatible with my motherboard because it can read my fan RPM speed.

    I think it's the GPU causing overheating because the CPU is 50 degrees celcius at an acceptable (?).

    This is a new laptop, so there is no collection of dust or debris in the exhaust gas.

    I would like to update my graphics driver, there were no update driver since the: 2011-05-06

    Also, I would like a method to increase the speed of the fan, preferably both GPU and CPU

    to lower the temperature and components

    Even as I write this, now I got force restart the computer because it froze. (driver has stopped working)

    I realize that the graphics driver may not be the only problem

    or it may be another problem, disguised as a problem of the graphics driver.

    I am willing and pledged to use all means, (with the exception of a full recovery of my pc)

    to fix my current misadventures with my laptop.

    Kind regards

    John

    You must first update the latest version of the BIOS of your laptop.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/WC/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-96635-1&CC=US&DLC=en&LC=en&os=4063&Product=5085756&sw_lang=

    Once you update to the latest version of the BIOS download and install the following softpaq and this should solve the problem:

  • Equium A100-338 display has stopped working

    Hello

    I have exactly the same problem on my Equium A100-338 loaded with Vista.
    The display has stopped working (he went to a poorly lit black screen) after I had rebooted my machine even if the computer and the hard drive seems to work Ok with the lights on. I tried the usual elimination of power and the battery and restart it tricks, but after initial success it has stopped working after a few weeks.

    Once I had the computer operation that I only closed it down in the mode 'sleep', and he continued to work for a month until that he should be released after a windows update. I then plugged an external display and use of the Fn + F5 key got the external display running.
    Low and behold, the screen of the laptop started working again as if it had been "energised".

    I took what the laptop screen was OK and that he would not need replacement.
    The laptop worked OK until it needed to restart another when the unrest started again. The screens are gray on the monitor and the laptop now.

    These problems seem to point to a flaw in the display driver or VGA card, have you received updates or suggestions?
    Now, I bought another laptop Toshiba Satellite to connect to the forums trying to find out if my original computer can be repaired
    These problems seem to be quite common on Toshiba computers.

    Any help members would be welcome.

    > These problems seem to point to a flaw in the display driver or VGA card, have you received updates or suggestions?
    For the most part a graphics card driver must be reinstalled or updated to a newer version it can also be a problem of OS which means that the new facility could help

  • Display driver stopped responding and has recovered

    Product: HP Pavilion dv7-6015tx Entertainment Notebook PC

    OS: Windows 7 32-bit

    Status: Clean installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 - bit Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

    Hello

    I had several cases where the computer seems 'lag '.

    then, after a few flickers on my screen, Windows would give the error:

    "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered."

    There are still effects after this message.

    When dragging windows, scrolling top-down graphics etc. continue to Flash.

    This isn't all in hardcore, the GPU was not operating at high temperatures.

    Interestingly, I don't have this problem when I'm in the middle of hardcore games.

    The CPU was not under heavy load, the CPU was not working at high temperatures either.

    I checked the temperature with thermal control (HWiNFO32).

    I have a lot of resources, 1223MB of RAM to spare.

    I also have lots of HARD disk space too.

    I installed the latest version of the graphics driver for my product: AMD graphics driver high definition,.

    but the problem persists.

    Help, please!

    -John

    I understand your frustration, I had the same problem, I really did, for centuries!

    Try this:

    Do not go on the AMD website for a video driver. those who do not work properly for some reason any...

    Download on the HP site specific to your HP product, for example, I have a dv7 6015tx with 32-bit windows.

    Then I'd go to: dv7-6015tx drivers

    If you still have the drivers on AMD ATI Web site, uninstall them, restart.

    Go to the HP site where you can find specific drivers for your product HP, installation, restart.

    It seems trivial, but it's IMPORTANT and most of the time to restart after uninstalling and installing.

    It worked for me, hopefully it will erase your questions, good luck.

  • Display driver stops after windows starts (code 43)

    I bought the Pavilion 17 - f002sm and instaled Windows 8.1 on it... and now, every time I start the computer, Device Manager indicates that the display driver has collapsed because it reports an error (code 43)... Please help me because im going out of my mind with that! I downloaded the driver from this site, I got this error, and on the site of AMD, he had the same problem... is the graphics card AMD RADEON R7 M260... in the Device Manager I have an another display driver - Microsoft Basic display adapter, I thik these two are in conflict... I don't know...?

    And another question, is possible to install windows 7 to this laptop? In the store guy told me that it is not possible, but I am skeptical

    Thank you!

    Hei.

    Thaks for the advice... I solved the problem... it wasn't easy... first I had to reinstall windows 8, first I had to install radeon r5 and then I had to install r7 if I wanted it to work... I used the everest program to search for info on the device and searching the Internet for drivers... so it was a nightmare to find the druver wireless... I hope that you will download the real drivers for this laptop on your site...

    Thank you.

  • Pavilion 6154ea: Radeon display error - display driver stopped responding and has recovered

    Received a UN expected error in the web search, actully screen off for a few seconds before receiving an error on the display driver stopped responding and recovery.

    Took a glance in the peripheral section where the 2nd adapter displays without any sign of error.

    After recently installing a new SDS moving from the HARD drive, reinstall windows 7 etc via the updates and the order to make recovery disc the laptop because I used receive a blue screen error frequently, so that the display driver does not not error occasionally when using the design programs.  Therefore assumed, needed a new HDD/SSD and factory restore.

    -Laptop computer has been cleaned withdrawal because keyboard, frame etc. with solvents as a cleaner. Therefore cannot be over heating the fan works hard to due and SSD.

    -Power supply has been connected to the time

    N ' was not overclocked as it is when using disk HARD aswell

    It wasn't until today where it happened again, without the blue screen though. So decided I would look at him and realized it is a common problem with the ATI drivers, when I assumed it was a HARD drive failure all along.

    This time the screen turned off for a few seconds, more then previously which is a little disturbing. Was only using a search engine with no program in the background. Infact havn't got round to reinstall files and software so the laptop is very clean and basic and works so don't know why I feel this fast.

    Need to know your opinion on this please, may not know... (Radeon HD 6490M)

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question in the subject of your HP Pavilion dv7-6154ea Entertainment Notebook and problems with the display driver stopped responding. I recommend to restore the default BIOS settings. You could restore the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings. This resets the hardware parameters and contributed to others.

    Here is a link to test the material if you need it. It checks the pieces to see if something is a failure.

I keep a temperature monitor runs in the background to alert me when time pass through more than 90 C.  In general, with navigation average and no video, I can stay between 70 ° c - 80 c.

    I had done a few things administrative for the laptop, including a full defragmentation and update to the latest version of the BIOS (F49) because I upgraded the OS from Vista to Windows 7 (expected an improvement).

    Everything was going well for several days until that I installed the latest ATI Catalyst Control Center.  Then that's when things started badly, but it may be a coincidence.  I noticed that when I started the laptop and it runs pretty cool, I would get these UI freezes, then "display driver stopped responding but has recovered" type of messages.  They would like to happen every 60 seconds or more.  HOWEVER, the laptop once warmed up, they would stop.  This has become particularly sensitive when I first start the laptop in the morning.

    I thought it's maybe some kind of problem with the ATI CCC, so I tried to uninstall it but then ran into all sorts of errors - he refused to be removed from my system.  I had to manually get it (edit, painfully long registry).  In any case, the driver earlier that I could come back was the "current" available on HP... and installation that it resulted in the same matter; This display driver problem when the laptop runs cool.

    It is ironic. Problems occur usually when a computer overheats, not when it's cold!

    So... is it software or hardware?

    I have a Linux (Ubuntu) partition, which worked perfectly well.  I booted up into that and... low and behold, I would periodically go into lock up, especially when the laptop is cold.  But this was not always the case.  When I first got the laptop and reformatted, it was fine, any time.

    I'm still not sure if it's hardware or software.  My thought is... was there any question recorded with BIOS F49?  I heard that some underlying problems can trigger problem display driver, which means that there is really nothing to do with video drivers.

    I've also run a full CHKDSK and a Piriform Defraggler disk check and it extracted a - OK... even though the hard drive suffered some sectors failed previously that were much more early on avoided with a complete reformat.

    QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE:

    * If it is a software problem, what are the recommendations?

    * If it is a possible hardware problem, is it possible to prevent the problem or am that I confronted to a replacement of the motherboard or just wait that the laptop "heated" enough before using it?

    CHANGE!

    Well... I thought that the laptop was fine when it is hot, but this display driver doesn't answer more question arises again while I was typing this message (Mobile CPU at 66).  But it happens now, after running for about 30 minutes of hot.  Then... material can get which is flaky? I thought that it's usually an all or nothing with the material (works or does not work), and that the software drivers, commissioning of all sorts of scenarios of data different throughout the usage would be more suspect for intermittent failure.  Is there a video driver DEFAULT Microsoft I could replace to exclude drivers ATI?

    Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

    It's certainly plausible. I have not heard of questions with a mosfet specifically, but this issue certainly seems to be motherboard related. There are "companies" out there that repair card mother offer, but it may be more cost-effective to buy a new motherboard.

    You can also try to use a Map of Test Post if you have one or can borrow one. I don't like to think about buying something, unless I know it will solve the problem, but if the computers are a hobby for you, Test Post cards are a very handy to have around. If you decide to get one, look at the comments and make sure that he has the right connections to be used with your computer.
