Okay so when im playing games, like fallout 3 call of duty 4, so bassically what happens is that when im playing my screen turns black, then comes up again and next to my windows clock it says "Display Driver has stopped responding and has has succefuly recovered" , any help?

My opinion: Graphics card has too big temperature during playing, check cooler!
-
Hmmm...yea but i have a laptop and that will be a little bit dificult, i have started my game 5 mins ago and it crashed after 1 min of playing. maybe the cooler but the laptop isnt that hot atm. ill ask my bro or some comp mechanic to check the cooler maybe install faster one, i have 2 coolers, 1 from the bottom and another from the side, i think the one from the bottom sucks the air in and the side one blows it out :)
If it helps then here is my comp "insides":
Intel Core2 Duo T7250: 2.0Ghz
2.0GB Ram DDR 2
Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP 1
G-Force 8600GTX 512 mb
Antivirus: Avast

That's the point: Laptops are not meant for playing!
-
So why do you think they put all those stuff in? Like if it aint meant for playing?

Nah nah, cuz my friend got much worse HP laptop, i got MSI and he can only running more shit games, he has XP and his laptop is slow but no crashes on these games, but mine is much better, crashes on nicer graphic games, and i got Vista, Vista is Shit with SP 1 man! and i only got the SP 1 and 32 bit version, ill try to downgrade to XP, maybe check my fan, there should be some dust, im using this comp for a year now, got it last christmas, so maybe the dust inside is causing the problem, my another friend got nearly the same laptop, other company, hes using it much less time and he uses Vista, plays comp games with no trouble, it can be caused by windows vista, maybe wrongly installed display drivers,maybe dust, im rly confused, please help :(

maybe you can write some details of your computer, what is your normal (idle) temperature, maybe your ram, graphic card, CPU, version of Windows,
that can help us solve this problem...
I have installed new updates for my computer, i found some new ones in Windows Update and those were some security updates, silicon images pseudo processor device, aktualization of Windows Vista and windows mail update.
Hmmm...This can be caused by: Older drivers, damaged drivers, dust(it makes your computer temp higher) or maybe even something else, ill try to check some more stuff, and gildor please stay tuned for this topic, i think you and of course i want the problem to be gone, fixed, well ill search in google youtube reinstall Direct x 10 and hope this shows some effect.
Juraj :)
UPDATE
I did some searching in google and we are not alone to have these problems, yes, it is your graphic but not card but DRIVERS! I stepped over this site here http://blog.stevex.net/index.php/2007/03/01/display-driver-stopped-responding-and-has-recovered/
here is the comment (if you fail to find it):
hi, all
to fix the problem you are all getting, just simply go to the folder:
c:\nvidia\winvista\driver version number\
then open setup, and install the drivers it should then work, make sure it gets admin too.
If you still need help for any problems related to vista drop me an email at [email protected]
if that didn’t appear it is jad at webplanethosting dot net
you can trust me as i beta tested vista for about 7 years :) still remember good old longhorn :P
Thanks
Jad
or this might help i think:
I have had the same problem with 101.41 & 100.65, but it take a while for the problem to occur. Strangely, I thought one of the main differences was the separation of the driver from the kernel. Somehow it appears it is not fully separated, even tho it’s one of MS’s big selling points on the OS. I am not going to be able to test a solution I found on the web, but possibly it could help you guys out:
I have found and fixed the problem today. This is what appears to happen.
during the installation of the most current drivers 100.65 Vista, an OLD file
nvlddmkm.sys is copied into windows/system32/drivers and not the current one
in the install. As a result the new drivers are attempting to access a file
dated 11/2006 instead of 2/2007 ver 7.15.11.0065 which is in the newest WHQL
driver ver 100.65 vista 32.
Fix: Go to windows/system32/drivers and rename nvlddmkm.sys to
nvlddmkm.sys.old. Go to the nvidia directory and find the file nvlddmkm.sy_
and copy it to windows/system32. Using the cmd window (DOS box) type
EXPAND.EXE nvlddmkm.sy_ nvlddmkm.sys. When the expansion is complete, copy
the new nvlddmkm.sys to windows/system32/drivers and restart the computer.
Your computer should now work properly.
You will notice that any uninstall and reinstall of nvidia drivers will not
remove the old nvlddmkm.sys file and will not overwrite it with the newer
version. You have to do it manually. I do not know why this happens but who
cares as long it is fixed.
If you have this problem then check the link these comments!
I hope i helped you Gildor and myself.
;)
IN YOUR FACE newarvuti !!!
ANOTHER UPDATE!
You can also solve this by downgrading your direct x to 9.
