Hello community, I was playing battlefield hardline beta and suddenly it crashed with a message "driver has stopped working and successfully recovered" and I was not able to launch any game but after restarting pc everything works. So my question is: should I be worried about something or this is just a coincidence?
 
Solution
IF it hasn't done it again, I wouldn't worry too much about it. IF it DOES do it again, THEN I'd start taking a look at some troubleshooting options like Memtest86, Seatools for windows and running HWinfo (Sensors only) to check the system sensors for anything that looks abnormal.

I'd also make sure to run windows update several times to make sure there are no critical or important updates that haven't been installed. I'd avoid installing any GPU related optional drivers there.
What driver version are you running? If you're current drivers were not "CLEAN" installed, meaning the previous drivers including registry entries were not entirely removed first, there could be a driver conflict. Try doing a clean install of the appropriate drivers according to the instructions outlined at the following link:

It it happens again after that, it's likely something else like the beginning of a failing power supply. What is the brand and model number of your current power supply unit?

I played alot and it didint happen, maybe its something behind battlefield hardline beta that is faulty, hardline is working too now. Also when hardline crashed there was some kind of directx error and because of that "driver has stopped working and successfully recovered" was shown
