Do you have the latest catalyst driver? if not then go and download it from amd's website and if you have the latest already then try a older one.

Does it keeps crashing all the time after a sertaint ammount of time or is it random?

have you overclocked the gpu or so anything?

Have you checked what load / temps etc you have when this happens?

Did you use integrated graphics before? and have it...

Did you use integrated graphics before? and have it dissabled now and see that it uses the pci one normaly it auto detects the gpu you plug in and does not need to do anything else.

Ok, i was happy with my radeon 6970, had no problems whatsoever until BF4 came out, and even then everything was working fine, until one of the amd driver updates, dont even remeber which, i got the same "Display Driver Stopped Responding and has Recovered" over and over again in most of the games and even when working in windows or photoshop, it got so frustrating i finally decided to sell the graphics card and buy a ps3, i sold the graphics card (HD6970) and fitted 6450 just so i can use my comp, and there you go, again the same: Display Driver Stopped Responding and has Recovered, this time only in windows as i was not gaming with this card;), some month ago i bought r7 260x, deleted all my drivers and did a clean install of amd catalyst 14.9, guess what? same: "Display Driver Stopped Responding and has Recovered" in every game, currently im playing shadow of mordor and it just goes on and on and on, then i decided to do the only thing i did not try, i uninstalled amd catalyst and drivers and everything that goes with them, rebooted the pc and tried only with the drivers that win 8.1 comes with, and guess what? ive been playing for around two hours now without any problem whatsoever, it runs smooth, looks good and no more: "Display Driver Stopped Responding and has Recovered" error from which i had headaches and nightmares for around a year now.... so, it is the drivers fault, uninstall that shit from amd and enjoy trouble free gaming and working....cheers!
