(Geforce 8800GT) Display driver has crashed and recovered.

OrangeOtaku · Dec 22, 2013

Okay so anytime while I am online my screen will flash black and then go back to normal (even when I am not online) and this happens several times a day and its been getting really annoying but the real problem is that when ever I go to play Garry's mod or any game for that matter the games screen will go black and it will say "Display driver has crash and recovered". I have tried lots of other ways to fix this but nothing seems to worked and this really effects my gaming its insanely annoying when it happens.

I have a geforce 8800GT. Any suggestions on fixing this problem will be highly appreciated, Thanks.

Did you try setting everything in nvidia control panel to max performance?

scout_03 · Dec 22, 2013

test you gt card in another system you could need to get a new one .

stormworm :

Wouldn't doing that just stress my card out more causing the error to happen more?

scout_03 · Dec 22, 2013

yes the more stress you put on her the more black screen you will have .

I just built this PC with my uncle who is a computer genius by the way, and I don't think he would send me a graphics card that needed to be replaced or was broken :\

OrangeOtaku :

You can try, and if it doesn't work, just reset settings.

OrangeOtaku · Dec 22, 2013

scout_03 :

Yeah that's what I thought.

an 8800gt is an old card.......... so uncle roger probably gave you one of his old cards. maybe he didn't realize it wasn't working properly..........

go to windows update and see what's there.

if that doesn't help, set game settings to low. see what happens.

stormworm · Dec 22, 2013

Did you install latest nvidia drivers?

OrangeOtaku · Dec 22, 2013

stormworm :

I don't think that would be a good idea, like I said That would just stress it out more, but thanks anyway.

OrangeOtaku · Dec 22, 2013

stormworm :

Yes.

scout_03 · Dec 22, 2013

defect could happens anytime in component ,this card need 2 power connector one 6 and one 8 pins with a 400 watts psu ,give the specs of your psu name and model .

OrangeOtaku · Dec 22, 2013

swifty_morgan :

scout_03 :

To be honest I have no idea when the specs of my psu name and model are :\ I just thought I could get a quick suggestion how to fix the problem on here.

swifty_morgan · Dec 22, 2013

so did you go to windows update?

scout_03 · Dec 22, 2013

without having the parts specs it is hard to find the exact issue ,for the psu open the side of the case there is a sticker on it with all the details .

8 series doesn't have downclock option so it's working at 3D clocks all the time.
It could be software issue with drivers (I think it's set to Adaptive) so changing to max performance could fix the issue.

OrangeOtaku · Dec 22, 2013

swifty_morgan :

Guess I will check the windows updates :\ I just emailed him about the problem and hopefully he will know how to fix it.

Okay, so all the setting are in the nivida control panel correct?

stormworm · Dec 22, 2013

OrangeOtaku :

Just don't let windows update download any gpu drivers.

scout_03 · Dec 22, 2013

post the result of what it will find and the thing it made to solve the issue .

Yes, -Menage 3D settings-.
Also make sure you set every program in Program settings to max performance

Okay, my uncle says he has a copy of Win 7 for me and it will probably fix the problem :3 if not we will figure it out.
