Display driver stopped responding but has recovered

error(maybe not exact quote): "display driver stopped responding but has recovered."

It is something loose in there because it only happens if I stomp on the ground or move the case, like if I slide it. I don't think it is a loose cable . I am not sure how to approach this because I am having a hard time reproducing the error. I have tried wiggling/tapping the video card and nothing happens.

which catalyst version are you using? i'd suggest you get the 12.8 or above (some version in beta is working wonders).

Having a tough time in reproducing the error is a good thing afterall but I hope you do not do multiple gpu intensive tasks at the same time. for instance my card HD6670 (much less powerful than yours) fails me if i run folding, furmark with windows aero while benchmarking it at any res above 1280x780.

Dude, just install new drivers. It happened with me also when I had g45 chipset. When I played games, my computer stopped responding and then a message came that display driver stopped responding and has recovered.Then, I installed new drivers and then everything was fine.
