What is happening to my computer?

[Straps]

I turned my computer on, started CS:GO, then it froze. Whatever, turn it off turned it back on asked me to put in my windows 7 disc and reboot. I put in the disc and booted then I restarted and started windows normally. Everything was fine after that then about 20-30 minutes later a blue screen came up and told me to reboot my computer if this is the first time this has happened(it is) rebooted put in windows 7 disc restarted windows normally. Now this time I'm very worried so now my computer is up and running but I went to play a game and I was very laggy, I noticed my ping was 150 so I assumed that was the problem. I played an offline game and it was still very laggy. Then I tried a different game that was demanding at all (Unturned) little bit of lag, played for 5 minutes froze again. I got a message saying "display driver has stopped responding and has recovered". Now I'm sitting here with this message on my screen wondering what I should do? I've been putting of a windows update but could that cause all of this to happen? Is my mobo shorted? My RAM faulty? Should I shut off my computer? Please help! 🙁

Your motherboard is probably fine. I would run memtest for 6+ passes to make sure the RAM is good, and run Windows diagnostic hard drive test to make sure the HDD is not faulty.

Display driver has stopped responding? hmm could you give us the full specs specifically the MOBO and the GPU.
You could try to run a memory check because Windows might not have enough RAM to run that would also explain the lag in game but does not explain the fact that you had to use a windows disc? It seems to me that windows files got corrupt. Do you know if you have a an onboard GPU that might have taken over after yours failed?

I have AMD cards and I get the display diver stopped responding and has recovered deal like 3 times a week. It is not a big deal or anything to even worry about.

Hmm thats strange ive used AMD cards all my life... thats not very long but i got through a couple and i have never had a problem like this 😱
and yes ive realised that the problem might be in the HDD he could just chkdsk it .

The display driver issue is related to having multi monitors or multiple sources of video. Mine happens when I drag a video from one screen to another usually.

It can also happen with a single monitor when you tab out of some fullscreen like a game.

My mother board is an EVGA Z87 FTW and my GPU is an nvidia GeForce GTX 760

So you have an nvidia GPU. Do you have any AMD catalyst software installed on your computer. That error looks like an AMD error, not nvidia.

No, I dont have any AMD parts.

My problem SEEMS to be fixed. I installed the windows updates and a display driver and every things working good so far

OK good, if your system keeps that up try running it in safe mode and doing a system restore to the point where it last worked properly, that should fix future problems.
