hi
i get this error (Display driver AMD has stopped responding and has recovered) most of the times on windows startup
i tried aero disable
my vga is xfx5970 black edition and it has a overvoltage software and before i have time to run it on startup error comes and even after runnig overvolt software this error come too
and yes i have overclocked gpu and cpu both but even in default this error comes again
i have latest driver version
:sarcastic:
and microsoft says you can Increase the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) processing time by adjusting the Timeout Detection and Recovery registry value but i dont know how if you know plz help
i have tested system stability by aida64 and asus pc diagnostics and nothing comes as an error

Set EVERYTHING back to stock levels then reinstall latest display and MB drivers. Once everything is running check the temps makes sure nothing is overheating.

A few questions: How old is the card, when did the problem first occur, and what were you doing when it first occurred?

+1 on the sys specs

Don't play with the timeouts, they exist for a reason and tend to be fairly conservative anyway.

ok i let the system work with stock for how many days?

and then i overclock again one at a time as u said

if its vga is there a software to test and see for sure? because i tested with many softs and i tested windows 8 too and this happens there too but i think it's because my vga is for time that ati was a company before they sold out to amd and new amd drivers has problems with ati

i dont really know but i cant afford to test windows xp because it's useless now
tnx anyway lets see what happens in these days

Sign in as administrator (If you are not administrator you may be blocked)
Close all the applications that are being used...save and close your files...
Turn Off the antivirus and firewall, turn off the functions of windows defender.
If you have multiple security programs installed, they must be turned ALL off. Security will prevent your driver from installing...
Download the latest CCC driver package, and save it to an easy location. Make sure this is the correct driver for your card.
Delete all the current AMD video software and drivers, restart the system (the video will look screwy, don't worry)
Now load install all the newest CCC drivers and restart the system (the driver will not work (yet) as you said, but load it anyway)
left click start
left click computer
right click C drive
Left click Open
Right click Users
Left click properties
"Check" mark the box that says: Attributes: "Hidden" (there is now a check-mark in the "Hidden" box)
Click: "Apply"
Now the system will apply the hidden attributes...and this will take a while, or maybe a long while. Let this proceed, and don't interrupt it...
During this procedure, a message may inform you that you do not have administrator privilege to the file you are trying to change the attributes of. That's OK. Just click: "ignore all."
When this procedure is finished, click OK (the box will close after you click OK)
Now you will once again be looking at folders in C drive (don’t close the C drive window or you may regret it)
(once again) right click Users
(once again) left click properties
UN- check the box that says: Attributes "Hidden" (you will now take the check mark OUT, Hidden is no longer checked)
Click Apply
Now the computer will UN-apply the hidden attributes, and it may take a while, or a long while...but let it proceed, and finish, don't interrupt it.
During this procedure, a message may inform you that you are not the administrator of the file that you are trying to change the attributes of. That's OK, just click: "ignore all."
When this is completed click OK
Now close all windows and restart the computer
turn all the security back on.
At this point, the CCC should be functional. Open the CCC and test the functions.

I had the same problem on my asus laptop, running AMD radeon hd 6730m,mostly wen i am gaming..i did try out many things but atlast i changed my power settings and now it doesnt crash .

Go to advanced power settings --->PCI Express---->Link state power management
and turn it off.

It worked for me, hope it works for you too
