So, recently I've been encountering this error. It began a couple of weeks ago, and gradually got worse until the system would completely lock up and I would have to restart and run in safe mode for it to stay working.
I have already re-installed windows, changed RAM settings, cleared CMOS which cleared up the issue... until yesterday. Now, with the previous issue I wasn't always getting the display driver message, but since I know very little about computers I thought perhaps the issues could be related though I don't think they are. I've been searching all over and am so damn confused seeing as people say this issue has been caused by anything from Windows 7 or Windows 7 feaures, to every piece of hardware.
Anyway, the issue I'm currently having is that every time I open World of Warcraft, my computer freezes for a couple of seconds, I then get a black screen for a couple moments then it restarts and runs fine giving me the message "Display driver AMD has stopped responding and has recovered successfully'. The most recent time I opened WoW however, it happened three times before working.
This is making me a bit concerned now as I fear it will continue to get worse unless I do something.
Anyway thanks in advance for any help you may provide, I will check this thread as often as possible so if you request any information I hope to get it to you quickly.
Further info I should have mentioned:
PC Specs
Case: NZXT Phantom, 3 fans installed, all temperatures reading okay levels.
GPU: MSI Radeon HD 6950 Twin Frozr II
PSU: Corsair TX750 V2
RAM: 4GB (2x2GB Sticks) Corsair Vengeance
MOBO: Asus P8P67 Pro (Bios all up to date)
Hard Drive: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB
Optical: Sony Optiarc Something Something..
More:
All temperatures read fine according to AI Suite, Hardware monitor, Afterburner.
The issue has now begun to occur not only upon startup of WoW, but also while playing (and frquently).
If any more info is needed just tell me what you need.
This issue occurs ONLY when playing World of Warcraft, I open the game, and get a freeze and restart on launch, then another when I log in to a character, then more during playing, and they occur frequently. I'm able to play Battflefield Bad Company 2, Team Fortress 2, Crysis 2, all just fine.
GPU Temperature never exceeds 50 degrees celsius according to both MSI Afterburner as well as HWMonitor.
I've tried:
1. Putting SET fixedfunction "1" in config file
2. Running WoW in DX11
3. Reinstalling drivers
4. Reinstalling drivers without CCC
5. Changing RAM settings
6. Reinstalling WoW
7. Reverting to older drivers
Here's a DxDiag in case it could be of use.
