    Hi there, every 2 mins or so, i get these black flashes and the scree freezes for about 2 seconds. I get a message saying:



    "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered
    display driver Intel Graphcs Accelerator Drivers for Windows Vista(R) stopped responding and has successfully recovered"

    It's really annoying and it scares me :S
    Please help

    This is also happening to me, I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit), with a AMD Radeon 5700HD Series GFX Card, it has been happening a lot, and I know that it is caused by a "TDR" <google it if you don't know> function only available with windows 7 and vista. I've tried over 20 different ways to solve it and even formatted my whole computer which did not work and still crashes now and again.. I really also need help with this.. I know 1 way of fixing it 100% which is installing Windows XP, but that OS sucks in my opinion and I really want to stay with W7. Updating your drivers could help but there's a 99% chance that that is not the problem.
