Hi,
Whenever I play any sort of game, whether Hon/LoL/Minecraft, my screen always freezes for about 10-15 seconds and then works again, and I get the "Display driver has stopped working and has recovered" error. This seems to happen at random intervals; sometimes it'll happen once or twice every hour. More recently, it's been crashing at LEAST 4 times every hour. Sometimes my screen freezes then just BSOD's.

Here I've attached my DMP files as well as snippings of CPU-Z. Please help! Link RemovedLink RemovedLink RemovedLink RemovedLink Removed

You have an instance of this driver running on your system
GVTDrv64.sys 9/5/2006 Gigabyte Easy Tune 6 driver Link Removed - Invalid URL
First of all it is very old, too old. And second there are known issues with that particular product and Windows 7. So....
If you have ever used it to perform any Over Clocking at all, please use it one more time to return anything you might have done to default / normal settings and then uninstall it completely from your system. Then do a search for GVTDrv64.sys and confirm it is no longer present and able to load. Should be here C:\Windows\System32\Drivers but may be in other places as well. If found to be present after uninstalling the software please rename it to GVTDrv64.OLD to break it...

Apologies for not answering sooner.. Had problems myself yesterday.

Wow.. this is a doozy of a problem. I looked through your dmp file again but really need to see more. Do you have others? I need to see ones after you updated the bios and drivers. I'm also going to ask Randy one of our resident experts to have a look see too.

I just stumbled on your CPU-Z Pics could you go into your bios and set the command rate of your memory to 2 and not the 1 it's at the moment. And if you have a XMP setting in the bios set that.

Alright I went to the bios but I couldn't find an option to change the command rate of my memory, nor could I find a XMP setting :\

If it helps at all, I'm running Gigabyte software and I accessed their bios menu

With Gigabyte boards when in your bios try pressing ctrl+F1 to gain the advanced settings. If nothing appears then you bios may not support these extra settings.

Okay I found both!


1. As shown in the bottom of the picture, the command rate of both memory sticks is already set to 2.
edit: I just CPU-Z again just to make sure, and this time it showed my Command Rate as 2, which is strange because i've never touched the command rate option before.


2. I found the XMP setting (which was previously on Auto) and set it to "Profile1" but changed no other value besides that.

Hi,

the dmp file is pointing at RAM as the culprit. What bothers me is that under memtest neither stick errors out but when you test them both together then there are plenty of errors.. I'm just wondering if you have all the settings correctly configured in your bios? It might even be worth under running the RAM to 1066MHz. Regardless I'm going to ask a colleague to give this a once over and see if he can spot anything I've probably missed..
