Driver Failed to Respond but has Recovered

[John9786]

Hey guys,

The other day when I was playing Battlefield 3, I received an error pop up again - Driver Failed to Respond but has Recovered, and the screen froze and BF3 crashed, and just today I received an error similar to the previous one stating: Application has been blocked from accessing graphics card hardware and thus freezing and crashing the game. This error seems to occur on any game, and even sometimes when i'm merely browsing YouTube. It mustn't be my Graphics Card because I only just bought it a few days ago, and this error has been happening for awhile now... 

I really need help! I did some research and apparently it can be caused by the MB or faulty RAM. Could you guys possibly give me your suggestions and any solutions to this error please?

 

Thanks in advance,

John

 

P.S. I have already tried uninstalling and re-installing my graphics drivers and as well as re-installing all of Windows 8.1.

Could you give us a list of Hardware specs? It might help. I have encountered this problem when:

• A program takes up all usable VRAM from the system to run properly.
• Heavy GPU rendering of 3D scenes that cause the GPU to not respond in less than 2 seconds.
• Crappy drivers.

It could be many things that cause your GPU driver to not be able to respond to your CPU. I also don't think this has anything to do with your Motherboard or Ram...

That happened to me everytime I overclocked my GTX 750. it would crash and I would get the driver notification. is your card overclocked at all? oh, sorry didn't see that it was happening before. it may possibly be a driver issue
