Vista - Display Driver igfx stops responding and recovers

When i play WoW: Burning Crusade during game play at some point the screen
goes black and pops back up saying display driver igfx stopped responding and
recovered. It happens often and makes gameplay very difficult.

Which integrated Intel graphics chip do you have?

IHJ is right, you're video card is probably the problem, gotta update your
drivers from Intel.com, or stick a fan on the side of your computer (might
be over heating).

Blow out the dust from your system, check your fans, if it's a notebook take
it off the shag carpet.

I got the excactly same problem on my laptop, my fan is clear of
anything, it only happens once in an while, its mainly when a lot of
people are together in wow or somebody casts an spell...

I have downloaded the newest driver twice, so now i dont know what the
problem could be...

Update your drivers first off. And the igfx, are you using the onboard video
on your motherboard? You may look into upgrading to a discrete graphics card
if your system is able.

Since it's a notebook, you should always use the one from HP..... HP may
purchase the system board and integrated graphics chipset from Intel but
it's specifically designed for that particular notebook and may not be the
same as any other Intel x1300 chipset.

To find out exactly what you have, you can use the HP AutoDetection
application.
