Display driver Intel Graphics Accelerator Driver stopped responding and has recovered.

[PPere9]

Hello, sorry for bringing up a pretty common issue, but I just can't seem to get my laptop to stop showing the message. I have checked other threads, but I have yet to find the solution. Also, a majority of them were in 2013, so I figured I make my own discussion to get an answer as soon as possible and answers can change within time.

This is the message I keep receiving:

It generally appears when I play a game. A few minutes after the game starts running, the screen will turn completely gray and flash repeatedly as it is trying to get my screen back to normal. When the screen does go back to normal, that's when that message appears. It only doesn't just appear when I play games though. Sometimes, when I'm just surfing the web, the screen will go gray again. On the off chance that it doesn't go back to normal, I either, turn off my laptop or my laptop crashes, resulting in this:

My laptop is a HP G72-C55DX Notebook PC

Here is my DxDiag report:

Thank you very much! I'll try it out

[PPere9]

I tried it out and I got a message saying that that driver is not validated for my laptop.

[Ricardo_G_Intel1]

Here my suggestion:

1. Make sure Windows® is up to date by running Windows® Update.

2. You can visit HP home support site http://www8.hp.com/us/en/drivers.html http://www8.hp.com/us/en/drivers.html and let the system scan your PC for new drivers.

3. Looking HP support drivers for your specific Notebook model http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h_pagetype=s-002&h_lang=en&h_cc=us&h_product=4078812&h_page=hpcom&h_client=S-A-R163-1&cc=us&lang=en http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h_pagetype=s-002&h_lang=en&h_cc=us&h_product=4078812&h_page=hpcom&h_client=S-A-R163-1&cc=us&lang=en

[PPere9]
