Hi there.
I'm just going to get to business with this. My computer, which was store bought, keeps giving me the 'Display Driver has Stopped responding' message for a while now. By now I have tried everything that is in my ability to do. It also BSOD's after a few crass or sometimes without warning if it has done it once already in the day.
I have un-installed drivers, re-installed drivers, updated drivers, rolled back drivers. I have over-clocked and reset to factory. I have opened up my case to make sure my fan was working. I have adjusted my fans to prevent overheating. I have tried every solution my extensive Google searching has suggested.
I am at this point at my wicks end. It only gives me the error when playing games. Just about any games. The only games I can play without that message coming up are Victoria Empire under the sun and Galactic Civilizations 1. This has lead me to believe it is a 3D settings problem but I am clueless. It's running from a HDMI cable to a HD TV but it also gave me that error when using a VGA cable.
Here are the full stats off the shop's website:
