Whenever I'm playing any kind of game, my screen will randomly turn black and come back on and say "HDMI" as if my monitor reset. I will get the error message "display driver has stopped responding and has recovered" and everything is a bit choppy for a few seconds after that. On good days it doesn't happen at all but most days I can't even play a game for more than 20 minutes without it happening. A few people I know have told me it's probably my graphics card but I want to make sure before I go out and buy a new one. I have an NVIDIA GeForce GT 740, not the best for gaming but it works well with the games I play. I used to keep my drivers up do date with GeForce Experience but a friend of mine said it was horrible so I haven't used that in about 2 months. Something I did notice was that my CPU usage will randomly jump really high if I tab out of a game. I'm not sure if that's normal or has anything to do with it though. I have an Intel Core i5-4690K Processor. I'm not too smart when it comes to stuff like this so any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Does this happen to all games?
what are your monitors specs?

maybe the games are running on a resolution that your monitor doesn't support
and also try to do the shortcut Alt + Enter when the error happens
