Title: Display Driver has stopped responding?? Post by: Seyton on May 25, 2010, 09:27:22 am Hey guys,
For the past few days now my screen will randomly go black while playing EQ causing me to have to restart the game. It says that the Display Driver has stopped responding and has recovered, then shows that it was the nvlddmkm.sys driver that screwed up. I have seriously tried EVERYTHING on the internet to get this darn thing fixed, and I've just realized it ONLY happens while playing EQ (Crysis and WoW work fine). Has anyone else encountered this problem and possibly knows something I don't??? I'm so sick of being in the middle of a fight and having the screen go black....

Title: Re: Display Driver has stopped responding?? Post by: Seyton on May 25, 2010, 10:02:06 am Yes I've tried everything besides formatting the hardrive and starting from scratch. I'm running an NVidia Gefore 8800 GTX and have seriously never had this problem before. EQ just does not like me!

EQ works fine on Vista and Win 7. Title: Re: Display Driver has stopped responding?? Post by: Thyl on May 25, 2010, 02:10:08 pm I would make sure you are up to date with all your Driver and OS upates.
I saw some possible solutions in here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/itprovistaapps/thread/acf9419e-b856-4d94-9eb9-a149b0918379 but alot of them don't look sec Title: Re: Display Driver has stopped responding?? Post by: PORTIS on May 25, 2010, 04:19:50 pm Ok a few ideas.
1)Download latest driver (sure you have done this) 2) Download latest Directx redlist (Probably also done) 3) Download wineq2 and run (had this problem switching and tabbing this fixed it) 4)download latest Microsoft .NET from Microsoft site (also fixed a similar screen prob with ATI and nvidea cards) Hope these help. Title: Re: Display Driver has stopped responding?? Post by: PORTIS on May 25, 2010, 04:21:03 pm P.S Win 7 64 bit rox!!!
Title: Re: Display Driver has stopped responding?? Post by: PORTIS on May 25, 2010, 04:23:49 pm Just remembered another one similar on a Nvidea card. Dont run EQ in full screen, run in Windowed mode at max rez for card/monitor (still runs full screen and stops client crashes due to graphics switching)

EQ works fine on Vista and Win 7. ^^ what he said...win 7 works fine with eq. Title: Re: Display Driver has stopped responding??

Dont run EQ in full screen, run in Windowed mode at max rez for card/monitor (still runs full screen and stops client crashes due to graphics switching) I think this is good advice, especially if you are boxing.

I'll try them out in the morning when my brain isn't so fried ><
