Hello,
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and I have been experiencing quite an annoying problem on my PC, which is as it follows:
whatever program is working, freezes, audio (if there is any) continues, the screen turns black, then starts up again and everything is as if nothing had happened. After all of this, a balloon (windows notification) on the right-hand side of the screen pops up and says that the display driver has stopped responding and has successfully recovered.
Now this problem started occurring after I bought a new motherboard and a new CPU. The new motherboard is ASRock FM2A55M-HD+ and the new CPU is AMD Kaveri Athlon II X4 860K, my GPU by that time was a ASUS GeForce GT 640.
I got a new GPU which now is Asus AMD Radeon R9 270X OC DirectCU II, 2048MB, GDDR5. My PSU is 600W, I have UPS and the problem still occurs.
Fixes I have tried:
- Updating every driver;
- Updating windows;
- Reinstalling windows;
- Testing every part of the hardware - everything turned out okay;
- Overheating test - GPU and CPU do not overheat;
- PSU - working properly;
- TDR - didn't solve it;
- Checking for viruses, malware, etc - none;
- Benchmark tests - no problems there;
- Every cable in the PC is connected properly;
- Running everything in its stock settings;
- Searching and cleaning errors in the registry;
The last crash was while I was loading utilities for installation from a CD and opening mozilla.
Results from testing components don't turn in any errors but the crashes still occur and it seems to be on random occasions.. I can't seem to find any sort of a pattern. I've watched movies for hours without a single crash, Valley benchmarks were ran for 6+ hours on high without any errors.
I'm using two monitors, both connected via DVI cables in the video card.
Any suggestions/opinions/comments will be appreciated.
