Did you remove the old drivers ?

Well I would say its a common thing, as I've been using ATI cards for the past 3 years and that happens every once in a while...unless its happening everyday or very frequently then its a problem.

It's a common issue with both nVidia and AMD and what's more interesting that it's related to a windows bug when the drivers fail to perform properly.

As suggested above, try sweeping all the old drivers, use the latest CCC drivers and see how it goes, it's usually gone by installing a fresh copy of Windows.

What is the best way to do that , I generally just serch and update them

Select your Card, OS and download the latest CCC.

Do express uninstall of the CCC drivers before you install the newer ones.

Or download driversweeper.
