Video Card Stops Responding
Nvidia GT750 card, 358.50 driver, windows 7 home premium 64 bit. Once
or twice a day the screen goes black for a few seconds and then a message saying that video driver has stopped responding and has recovered. This has been happening for some time. I have updated to the latest driver and have completely removed and re-installed the driver with no change. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this as I am getting no other error messages. Any suggestions? |

One link off this page suggests MSI Afterburner as a tool. ******* At the other end of the spectrum, is idle performance. At one time, video cards had just two performance levels, and peak to idle power ratios of 2:1 or so. It's possible a modern video card has more power states than that. Video cards can drop to 3W, which is barely enough to keep the RAM on the card powered. If that was the case, you would want to find a way to stop the card from entering the lowest power state. Or change the frequency or voltage settings associated with that state. While this particular control doesn't have any options, you might try fiddling with this. http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answe...um-performance Paul |

I briefly tested an AMD card and had no problems with it. |

I briefly tested an AMD card and had no problems with it. Have you tried driver uninstall, reboot (back to 640x480), followed by video driver reinstall ? Make sure you have the new driver in hand, in a folder that is easy to get to, because running 640x480 with no video driver isn't that much fun. The problem with that recipe, is getting the registry cleaned out. Drivers tend to "remember" old settings in the registry and the registry does not get flushed. This is a flaw in Microsoft design, which on uninstallation, should be asking "clean the registry?", so that the user could answer "Yes" and all your troubles would be forgotten. There used to be driver cleaners, but I don't know if there is a current one you can trust. I used one years ago, just for kicks. Paul |
