Display Adapter has stopped responding and has recovered error while playing games

[DDavi39]

Hi,

I get the error Display driver Intel HD Graphics Drivers for Windows(R) stopped responding and has successfully recovered." while I play games. The game would freeze give me a black screen and then it would go back to normal after around 4 seconds but would repeat.

I currently have two Display Adapters, Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M.

I have tried setting my TdrDelay to 8 and 10 but I get a new error that says "application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware"

Could you please let me know the games that you were playing?

Regards,

I was playing pretty high end games like Planetside 2, The Witcher 3 and Skyrim.

And I can't attach the file here so I'll post it on a Pastebin. http://pastebin.com/kn8JBKpY http://pastebin.com/kn8JBKpY

Hi,

I downloaded the driver and tried to install it manually with the guide you gave but it keeps telling me my driver is already updated to the latest version. Then I tried doing it automatically via Setup.exe but it says my computer isn't authorized for this.

1. Login with administrator privileges

4. Click on "Display adapters"

5. Double click "Intel® HD Graphics"

7. Click on "Update Driver" button

8. Click on "Browse my computer for driver software"

9. Click on "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

10. Click on "Have Disk" button

11. Click "Browse"

12. Navigate to the folder that you unzipped the Intel® HD Graphics driver to

13. Navigate to the Graphics sub-folder

14. Double click the igdlh64.inf or igdlh.inf file <-- depends on if you have 32 or 64 bit OS

15. Click "OK"

16. Click "Next", Driver should now be installing.

Hi,

The fix did not work. I'm still getting the same error.

@One_Freedom, I just wanted to check on this thread; how is the driver working? Was the issue resolved with that driver version?

Please let me know your findings.
