Graphics Driver crash

Nitefury said:

I just updated to Windows 10. My graphics card is Nvidia Geforce GT610 . i updated to the latest version of the driver also(356.63). But randomly my screen goes blank and after a second or two it becomes normal a notification comes saying Graphics driver not responding and has recovered successfully. Also when i had windows 8.1 i had 4028 MB of graphics but when i updated, it became 3788 MB. Please help me.

Did you do a clean install and choose express settings?

No i upgraded from windows 8.1 with all my apps and files but i chose express settings

I am having the same issue on my Dell 6520 laptop. Upgraded to 10 from basically clean install of Win 7 with all updates.
Driver is up to date with Dell and NVIDIA site. My graphics card on the laptop is a NVIDIA NVS 4200m.
Was crashing and coming back to display. Now on the third or 4th crash it doesnt recover and goes to black screen, No option but to hard power off. Next stop is to look for bios update from Dell. .

I would remove your current driver using a program called DDU which can be found here:

Display Driver Uninstaller Download version 15.4.0.0

After the reboot, install your Driver and it will be a clean driver. I used to get that error in Win 7 many times but not in 10. I hope this helps you.

I will give the DDU a try if the bios update doesnt help. The bios on this machine is way out of date. Thanks.

The bios update helped at least for now. I was getting almost instant crashes when getting to the desktop. Been 5 min with no crash,
Crossing fingers. Still a version behind. But going to let this one run for a bit.

Good, glad it worked out. Dell is pretty good at providing Bios updates.
