  • 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)

    Hi @skibbles,

    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.

    Please let me know how it goes.

    Thank you.

    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.

    get new manually if you wish.

  • mysqld.exe stopped working and was closed

    Whenmy computer starts, I get and error message "mysqld.exe stopped working and was closed". What is the solution?

    Hi vinaypahwa,

    Looks like you have an unwanted program that loads when Windows starts.
    The solution is to disable this program of commissioning by performing a clean boot:
    You can also manually check which starts up by looking at the startup of the System Configuration dialog box tab and disable what you do not want to start.
    I hope this helps.

  • Display driver hangs on the computer and the error message "display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 306.97 has stopped working and recovered."

    Original title: NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 306.97 display driver has stopped working and recovered.

    Hiya,

    I have recently installed Windows 8 Pro, installed all of my usual applications etc..
    The problem I've encountered is maintaining display driver crashing. Or have waiting periods. The exact error message reads;
    "Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 306.97 has stopped working and recovered."
    Until now it expires randomly even when the computer is idle, and more frequently when I watch videos online. Also, watch a clip full screen on some sites like YouTube is ok, but on others, it is very laggy (updated maybe once per second the image) and the sound is out of sync.
    I can't find a way to properly uninstall the graphics driver.

    At least yours is working semi... I have the GTS 450 (uses the same drivers) and the mine does not at all... Stuck with the regular game pilot integrated ATM and can not all games... Microsoft told me to wait a few weeks and for the reminder and Nvida said 10 ways to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for same. Hope someone with to get a fix for this soon.

    Hi guys,.
    Looks like this isn't just me.
    Just an update, that I can not confirm it as a solution, but I have not encountered any problem (a little screenlag aside) since the installation of the drivers beta. For me, the beta version of the driver is 310.33, R130. The only other change to my system updates Adobe Flash version packaged with Google Chrome to 11.4.31X to 11.4.402 to eliminate serious problems when you watch the video in full screen.
    Information system;
    Operating system: Windows 8 Build Pro with Media Center 64-bit, 9200
    CPU: AMD FX-8150 eight physical cores
    GPU: ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 TI
    Main hard drive: OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB

    Edit: Still not falling down, 11/02/12, 4 days

    New edition;

    If you still receive the error message, try the following steps;
    Has. try to perform a clean installation of the driver.
    Download the latest drivers for your graphics card. Run the downloaded file, and select "Custom Installation". In the next screen, you will see a checkbox or similar labeled "Clean Install".
         

    You can do so by visiting nVidia Driver Downloads (www.nvidia.com/Drivers). Automatically detect the right driver or download using the form. The best way in my opinion is to use the GeForce experience, who will do anything for you in two clicks and a reboot.
    B. close all other programs
    It is possible that the error was caused by too many programs that need to use the resources provided by the graphics card/chip. It is also possible that a certain program caused a conflict that pilots crashed.
    You can try closing some currently open programs one by one and see if the error persists, or restart your system with disabled startup programs and allow them one by one to find the culprit. If the error is too persistent to do the above, it would be easier to start in safe mode option.
