The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver due to exceeding the Windows Time-Out limit and is unable to continue
Error code: 7

I keep crashing, is there anybody that can help? I tried the W7 fix, that did not work. I installed older drivers, after installing the newest ones, nothing helped.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 [Display adapter]
3.10 gigahertz Intel Core i5-2400
64 kilobyte primary memory cache
6144 kilobyte secondary memory cache
64-bit ready

Not hyper-threaded
Board: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. PA65-UD3-B3
Bus Clock: 100 megahertz
BIOS: Award Software International, Inc. F4 03/08/2011

I would appreciate help....

I wonder if it can be fixed with afterburn software?


You have an nVidia card, so no, afterburner will not help because it's not compatible with nVidia chipsets, just AMD (ATI).

You may want to go as far as downloading GPU-Z or HWInfo and remove the driver and see what your voltage and heat readings are from the GPU.

Where are you getting the drivers from? nVidia or an alternate source? You might also try updating to the latest version of Direct X and see if that helps.
