hd graphics 4000 ERROR: Display Driver Stopped responding and has recovered.

[AFoli]

I... have had this problem ever since... intel upgraded and combined the windows 7 and 8 drivers into one upgrade... MY bios upgrade is current.... i've tried to do a reset on the driver back to before... they changed it to a combined windows 7/8 driver install.... that didn't correct the issue... As well using the intel widi system it crashes going too and from widi with using another graphics game. Included is the dxdiag

Hi vandon62,

Based on your description there are some steps I want you to try.

1. Make sure you have the latest BIOS installed in your system.
2. Uninstall the current graphics driver from device manager.
3. Download and install the latest graphics driver. You can get it at the following link:

By doing this, the issue should be fixed.
