Display Driver Has Crashed and Recovered

This is not uncommon for AMD and Nvidea alike.

 

For AMD it is normally due to a process called atikmdag not responding.

 

For Nvidea it is normally due to a process called nvlddmkm not responding as well.

 

Normally the best fix for it is to completely uninstall the driver. Then use your fav driver removal tool. Then Install the latest driver.

 

Worse case scenario if it still continues after doing that, back dating to a driver version that didnt create that issue in the first place helps as well.

This happens occasionally to me (once a week or so) where the screen goes black for a couple seconds and then this appears in the bottom right with a red X. Should I be worried? I'm running Windows 10.

There is no such thing as excess in hardware.
