Hi.

I use a SONY VAIO laptop with a ATI Radeon 5650HD Graphics card. Things were fine, when one day driver keeps on crashing with the message"Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered." It used to change brightness automatically to full after displaying the message.

Often the laptop froze.

So I decided to reinstall windows and after doing this, I tried to install the driver again, and the problem continued. So here I am, typing this at VGA mode, not having any clue what to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !

P:S my ram is 2GB.
 
Solution
Anyways thanks for the response guys. I've solved the problem. For anyone stuck about this shit, this can help:-

1)Click Start, Run, and type -regedit-
Navigate to: HKey Local Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\
Locate the -GraphicsDrivers- key, and right-click on it.
Click -New- and -DWORD Value- (it will say 32-bit if you are on a Windows 64-bit)
Label the new value -TdrDelay-
Double click on TdrDelay, and enter the number of seconds you want Windows to wait before timing out. The default is two seconds, so start out with 6, and you can make it a few seconds longer if it doesn't fix the issue.
Close the registry editor and reboot the computer.

Thanks for the help. I updated my drivers, and they seemed to work fine until I got this error again and got a BSOD for the first time. Uninstalled the driver. Help !
