Hi!
Everytime I wake my PC from sleep, it gives me a notification on the task bar saying, "Display Driver has stopped working and has recovered". Should I be worried about this? If so, how would I fix it? Thanks!

Make sure to turn that dumb Windows Aero theme off and just go for the Basic one. Also make sure to disable any on board video in your BIOS if you're using a dedicated GPU. Make sure you have the latest drivers.

Also try:
Control Panel --> Power Options --> Select Power Plan
> Change Plan Settings (go for High Performance)
>> Change Advance Power Settings
>>> (expand to) PCI Express
>>>> (expand to) Link State Power Management
>>>>> (select) OFF
>>>>>>Apply

And whilst you're at it try:

Change Advance Power Settings
> Sleep
>> Allow Wake Timers
>>> Settings: DISABLE
