"Driver has stopped responding and has recovered" Help!

[FrantikShotz]

I'm an online gamer with limited knowledge to the inner workings of a PC, making this account strictly looking for suggestions on how i can prevent my driver from "crashing" in the middle of a gaming session. I have an AMD Radeon HD 6670 graphics card and it quite frequently stops responding and i have no clue what to do to fix it. i've tried updating the driver, rolling it back, lowering the resolution, lowing graphic quality and still no luck whatsoever. If it matters at all, i play World of Warcraft, Team Fortress 2, and Counter Strike: Source, and the driver stops responding no matter which game. Sometimes i can go 10-15 minutes without a problem, other times it stops back to back and i don't even have any time to respond to the problem in between. Please help, any feedback is much appreciated.

Seems to have helped me with the same issue you are having. You might try it.

it turns out it was the card itself. i put in my old 5450 and it ran perfectly fine while i was waiting to get a new card. i filled out an RMA on the card and sent it out, came back to me and did the same thing within 30 minutes

I also forgot this one, sorry man, I used MSI Afterburber 2.1.0 with these settings for the Radeon 6670:

Core Clock (MHZ) : 704
Memory Clock (MHZ) : 502

it seems to disable the factory stock overclcocked settings from AMD vision control engine center. Also I dont enable graphics overdrive in the AMD software. I dont know if both Amd and Afterburner could work with their overdrive settings combine.

Another note, with Msi Afterburner, you will have to save your settings to a profile and be sure to apply overclocking settings at system startup.

AMD driver has stopped responding and has recovered

Windows 7 64bit - no matter which AMD/ATI driver - no support for display power save maybe less or not occuring on 32Bit OS, but constant on 64Bit, and fresh OS install and latest or former drivers make no difference.

The ONLY solution I found 😀 😍 :
DISABLE Display and System power save

"Turn off the display "= NEVER & "Put the computer to sleep" = NEVER
(from Control panel >> Power options >> Change plan settings)


Btw, leaving Harddisk sleep after X minutes will not crash the driver.

Hi, I tried but it still can't work. My game still crashes after 10-15mins in the game.
After 10-15mins, my laptop fans starts to spin very fast. So i guess it's overheating? idk. :\

Anyways, the game i was playing is Minecraft. And i don't think that it requires a very good graphic card right?

Help much? Thank you! 🙁

Oh and i guess these information of my laptop would be useful for you guys to help me?
