Running Windows 7, 32-bi,t on a Lenovo W500. Display Driver: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650. The error message (“display driver stopped responding & has recovered”) follows a system freeze, a short blackout. Then everything works fine. Downloaded the most current driver from the company's Web site. Seeemd to work for a day, but now I'm getting the same behavior. Crabby Office Lady

Listen very carefully THIS IS THE FIX YOU ALL NEED TO UNDERSTAND !!!!!!!! I'm going to try this Phill, I have tried everything, even re-flowing the solder on the motherboard in the oven!!!!! NOTHING WORKED! I'm reformatting for the second time. The first time I kept all my programs on my second HD. It is my last hope before giving up. I'm so tired of trying to figure out this problem and I know if I take it somewhere to be fixed they will give up and say I need a new motherboard.

He's a support engineer, not a software engineer. Software engineers make good money. Supprot engineers make horrible money. He's no better than the people who answer the phone at support for Dell, or whichever brand you might have. They just tell you want the "Troubleshooter" page tells them to tell you. They will never give a reasonable answer that everyone doesn't already know.

David, Computer is up to date. GC drivers are fully up to date. Everything is up to date. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Might I also mention that I keep getting that stupid Java update when it doesn't need one. Got that the first 10 minutes of this computers life. I turned it off and it started right back up again. Computer isn't even a month old. First payment is due the 22nd.

Updating driver doesn't work . Everywhere everybody does the same thing 1st and that's update the driver , if it was that simple then nobody would be complaining as much as they are doing or not as many people would have the problem and it wouldn't be persistant. Anyway I've told you what to do now so it's all up to yourselves but this is the problem with this driver issue and blank screen on and off business . Sick of people who think they know it all trying to push their noses in when all they are doing is sending people around in circles . Waste of time I have told the solution so if people are not intelligent enough to read and follow what I have found then they can get on with it and have a faulty computer. The thing that completely eradicates this issue is to format and re-install windows and that will get rid of it completely but do NOT just put all your old programs/games back on because u will get the same issue , do it piece by piece like a jigsaw and then eventually you will find out what program/game is causing the release of the virus into your system. If not then just re-install windows (not repair) and then leave it fresh , ill guarantee it will work .

Hello Crabby Office Lady,

This error can happen because of an outdated video driver, to many programs running at one time or even high CPU activity. There is a link to a KB article on the following post that gives more info on the issue and helps to fix it, see:
