Display Driver IGFX has stopped responding?

[OrangeAngel]

Product Detected: Intel® G33/G31 Current Driver Installed: 7.15.10.1666
A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer.

Go to device manger and check that driver
Does it say working properly?
You click on the intel name, to get to driver


Boot the computer, that may fix the problem, too

KK Installing the Driver Update

If you still have problem, try a system restore from one week before the problem.

I think that the driver will solve it.

 

[OrangeAngel]

Uhh it says it is not validated for this computer but it is...

ALSO: When i played Sims 3 it had this same problem but i uninstalled it and never touched it again >.>

 

[richc46]

So is it ok, now?
or
it does not install?

 

[OrangeAngel]

It doesnt install

My Driver is up to date. It has been. So i dunno what's wrong.

 

[richc46]

This is in answer to your post which you deleted.
I was looking for information on how to back up video.
This is what I found.
How to Remove Video Drivers | eHow.com
Again it states to uninstall, which is the way I thought that it should be done
I understand your concern. I WILL NOT say that you will not have problems.
I never had the need to do it myself and dont know anyone who has.
I have given this advice to others, at the forum, and it solved the problem
That is all I will say. I am trying to feel satisfied by helping you solve your problem. It would hurt me if I assured you that everything would work out and it caused bigger problems.

All I could say is that I have always thought that the information that I have presented to you was the correct approach.
I can also say that I THINK that the driver is corrupted and needs to be changed.
If Im right its fixed. If not right, we know and we can think of other solutions It could be the card, but I dont thinks so.

Did you try to reboot and see if that helped at all?

It has to be your call at this point.

 

[OrangeAngel]

Well The update was like i suspected the version i had, and voila Wow still doesn't work with the display driver igfx has stopped working and succesfully recovered and keeps blinking black. But could it be because im using WoW in windowed mode?

EDIT: It is not because i am using WoW in windowed mode.

 

[richc46]

To be honest, that WOW must be a resource hog, has a lot of problems

Try this on the bottom left near clock, there is a white flag, click on it.
Then check for solutions

Also
go to search type event viewer, in event viewer go to adminstrative in left panel.
Then look for the errors about the time you had the problem.

 

[richc46]

Try this too
Go to search type cmd
then right click and run cmd as administrator
in cmd type
sigverif.exe
This will give us the list of unsigned drivers. Lets see what it says about graphics.

 

[OrangeAngel]

well here are my 8 unsigned drivers

pcd5srvc.pkms
mdmxsdk.dll
bvrpmpr5.(System File)
hsfprof.cty
hsx_cnxt.sys
hsxhwbs2.sys
mdmxsdk.sys
xaudio.sys

And Also i believe thwe Video hardware error created a dump file shall i upload it?

 

[richc46]

Those drivers are not the problem. But PC Doc is not needed, better to maintain yourself.
Try the other steps.

 

[OrangeAngel]

I found the Errors in event viewer now what?

 

[richc46]

Copy and past the ones that apply and upload here.

EDIT: There are 8 different errors there.

 

[richc46]

Im not there, and I thought it was the driver. You gave me the event viewer code at it means
Event ID 4101

I feel its the driver, go to event viewer and try a rollback to previous version.

 

[richc46]

Try with a clean boot and report back
