I get this while playing games and itll just freeze then a message saying 'The display driver has stopped responding and has successfully recovered' will pop up. I've tried reinstalling drivers, down clocking gpu and increasing tdr delay but nothing seems to work
How to fix 'Display driver has stopped responding'?
- Thread starter xero99
- Start date
damric here are my specs:
FX 8350
ASUS M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard
Gigabyte R9 270x
XFX Pro 550W
Everything is on stock clocks and the recommended PSU wattage for my GPU is 500W. My PSU is XFX which I think is re-branded sea sonic so it should be good enough quality. I will try using the cleaning utility Suztera mentioned and reinstalling my Catalyst drivers but i don't expect it to solve the problem as i have tried it many times before.

If you already re-loaded the driver, then you have hardware instabilities. It could be caused from any of the follwoing:
- Unstable CPU
- Unstable RAM
- Unstable GPU
A PSU with a defective capacitor will not be filtering ripple and could cause any of the above to become unstable.
I would run a stress test on the CPU first, something like prime95 for a few hours, or 20 passes of linx, or IBT.
If that checks out fine I would try MEMTEST86+ for a couple passes.
If memory and CPU both pass without errors, then you have narrowed it down to your GPU or PSU. Even good quality PSUs can fail once in a while. Typically it's the PSU that causes a graphics card to become unstable. I would consider RMA for PSU and/or Graphics card.

A while ago I was getting BSODs that were caused by Atikmdag.sys so I ran a memtest and found that one of my ram sticks was faulty (I was also getting the display driver error at the time). Since then ive been using the good stick and have had no BSODs but still the occasional stopped responding message while gaming. I found out that Atikmdag also causes the 'display driver has stopped responding' error so they were maybe linked.
Although i said id reinstalled the drivers many times i have not used software to completely remove the drivers, just the AMD uninstaller. So maybe It was/is a driver issue and the bad stick of RAM combined with it caused the BSOD?

That means that either CPU or RAM is unstable.
I would start with a CMOS Clear to make sure that everything is at factory default settings. Then test again.
If it fails again I would bump CPU core voltage and RAM voltage and try again.

After doing a CMOS clear I ran the test again and there was another error:

Ignore the time, it was behind when I started the test due to the CMOS.
How much would you recommend I increase the CPU and RAM voltage by?

With the increased voltages, so far all workers have passed the 21000 Lucas-Lehmer iteration test which is the test that caused the errors both times before. I will keep it running for a few hours like you said in-case there is still an error.
What do you think are good temps? Before I increased CPU voltage from about 1.3 to 1.4V it would max at 55 degrees Celsius socket temp and the package was a lot lower. Now the max socket temp is 65 degrees and the package is 48 degrees. Are these still good temps?
IF it is now stable what should I do next? If CPU/RAM was working properly wouldn't it be stable on stock settings? Please correct me or explain as I am a noob. lol

I've had an error. What now, should I increase voltages more or not?

If increasing voltages helps, then it would lead me to think that your PSU or motherboard is not filtering properly, meaning ripple is fluctuating such that it causes errors when the sine wave hits a valley. This is usually caused by a leaky capacitor.
Your RAM should work fine at 1333 at default settings. I would leave it at that until you have fully diagnosed your problem. I think the next step is to try a different PSU.

I have tried reinstalling drivers and it didn't help. At the moment I am more concerned about the prime 95 errors as that shows there is a hardware issue in something other than GPU and the same thing causing the prime 95 errors may be causing my 'display driver has stopped responding' errors? My GPU is less than 6 months old, and so is the rest of the system apart from the RAM which is two years old.
