Display Driver Stopped Responding And BSOD When Not Gaming

UnknownAK · 19 Sep 2015

I found a way of using 1080p with it still not causing crashes. I went on to the disabled driver and clicked "roll back driver" and now the driver is called "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" which allows me to use 1920x1080 as my resolution and still doesn't cause the crashes which is nice. Obviously this isn't a perfect setup as I still get frame drops in videos and I'm guessing i will get a lot lower fps whilst gaming but until i fix my issues it still allows me to use my PC. It also means I am able to use Chrome instead of the piece of shit that is Internet Explorer xDD

Here is the log for Malware Bytes, it only detected 2 items:

I will update once my AVG antivirus has finished scanning

I cancelled the scan for AVG at 95% because it had only found 1 minor issue that wasn't even a virus and it was eating up my hard drive speed massively.

I also decided to try out playing some games and using the basic driver meant I was getting 9 FPS on Terraria when I usually get 60+ FPS. I tried out Borderlands: The Pre Sequel and it took about 5 minutes to reach the main menu as the loading screens had 1-2 FPS. So yeah, I definitely need to find a solution for this xDDD

It seems I either use an AMD driver and I can play games but everything else crashes, or I can use a basic driver that allows me to do everything else fine but games are unplayable.

An AV system scan slows down the performance a lot, because of this it is smart to run it overnight.

According to the log files, you could have a lot of unwanted software installed and have some system tweaks done by programs.

No matter what I try, nothing seems to work, any driver other than the basic display adapter causes the crashes and bluescreens and no matter which driver I try to use they all do the same. Windows always seems to download a version of the driver and a version of catalyst control centre when I restart my PC so I can't seem to stay using the basic adapter. The only way to use the basic display adapter now is by disabling the driver.

Also the driver will randomly re-enable itself without me doing so

Starting to think the only fix would be to reformat/get a new hard drive or something. There must be some some fault when it installs the drivers and so it causes the issue. I would reformat it right now but I've seen that a lot of people have these issues with the Windows 10 drivers and since there are no other drivers that I can use it means I am most likely stuck with this issue unless I go back to windows 7 and use an outdated driver which to be honest I really don't want to do.

For the driver problem you might want to create a thread at the Drivers and Hardware section.
I do not have much knowledge with this kind of problems

Okay, well thank you so much for your help so far. I'm lucky I have a lot of patience, the majority of my friends were telling me to just buy a new hard drive already or buy a new PC

You're most welcome :)

A new hard drive won't help with driver problems related to a GPU.
A new pc wouldn't also help much, there are a lot of people having driver problems with Nvidia and AMD GPU's almost the same as you.
