"Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" error in Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7 or Windows Vista

"Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" error in Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7 or Windows Vista


Method 1: Update to the latest display driver for your graphics hardware
To update to the latest display driver for your graphics hardware by using Windows Update, click the link specific to your version of Windows and follow the steps in that article:

♦Update a driver for hardware that isn't working properly in Windows 10
♦Update a driver for hardware that isn't working properly in Windows 7
♦Update a driver for hardware that isn't working properly in Windows Vista

If installing the latest updates does not resolve the issue, continue to method 2.

Method 2: Adjust visual effects for better performance
Having multiple programs, browser windows, or email messages open at the same time can use up memory, and cause performance issues. Try to close any programs and windows that you are not using.

You can also adjust your computer for better performance by disabling some of the visual effects.

 Here’s how to adjust all visual effects for best performance:
Open Performance Information and Tools by selecting Start > Control Panel. In the search box, type Performance Information and Tools, and then, in the list of results, click Performance Information and Tools.

Select Adjust visual effects, if you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Select Visual Effects  > Adjust for best performance > OK.
Note For a less drastic option, select Let Windows choose what’s best for my computer.

If this method did not resolve the issue, continue to method 3.

Method 3: Modify registry entry to increase GPU processing time
Timeout Detection and Recovery is a Windows feature that can detect when the video adapter hardware or a driver on your computer has taken longer than expected to complete an operation. When this occurs, Windows attempts to recover and reset the graphics hardware. If the GPU is unable to recover and reset the graphics hardware in the time permitted (two seconds), your system may become unresponsive, and display the error message “Display driver stopped responding and has recovered.”

Giving the Timeout Detection and Recovery feature more time to complete this operation by adjusting the registry value, may resolve this issue.

To do this, follow these steps:
Exit all Windows based programs.
Select Start, type regedit in the Search box, and then double-click regedit.exe from the results above. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Locate to the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers
On the Edit menu, select New, and then select the following registry value from the drop-down menu specific to your version of Windows (32 bit, or 64 bit):

♦For 32 bit Windows
Select DWORD (32-bit) value.
Type TdrDelay as the Name and then select Enter.
Double-click TdrDelay and add 8 for the Value data and then select OK.



♦For 64 bit Windows
Select QWORD (64-bit) value.
Type TdrDelay as the Name and then select Enter.
Double-click TdrDelay and add 8 for the Value data and then select OK.

Close Registry Editor and then restart your computer for the changes to take effect.


Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up the registry in Windows 10 or 7, Back up the registry.


Xiaomi or Oppo or Vivo or Huawei, Which Andriod Mobile or Smart Phone you should select

Xiaomi or Oppo or Vivo or Huawei, Which Andriod Mobile or Smart Phone you should select


SOME USER AND EXPERTS OPINION

♦ According to Ajinkya Khobragade, Connoisseur of Technology:
Even though in current markets Vivo and Oppo are selling overpriced products. As a company they are getting better and better every year. BBK Electronics is the parent company of both this companies. Vivo has manufactured first phone with fingerprint sensor in its screen teaming with Qualcomm. And both companies are marketing there products pretty well. In future may be they will overtake everyother company. Since they are not only catering to the need in market but also innovating. While coming to Xiaomi, its a small company as compared to Oppo and Vivo. They are called as Apple of China. They created the first bezel less phone. Quite an achievement though. They don't market their phones, but their products are pretty good. One thing that they lack is after sales service. While Oppo and Vivo are good at that. If you wanna take selfies then go for Oppo or Vivo, If you want a complete experience at budget go for Xiaomi.


♦ According to Vs Balu, Master's Integrated Professional Competence Course & Bachelor of Commerce Degrees, CMS for CA:
During the last few months it's quite noticeable thing that the two mobile companies OPPO and vivo has concentrated more and more on advertisements to attract customers. In both the mobiles the price variation is negligible and when comes to their features too both were competing each other.

Oppo has concentrated more on its camera with dual selfie Cam whereas vivo often provided with moonlight camera and the storage capacity was same,both had sensor recognition technology. Goes on speaking oppo is the best when compared to Vivo.

***But the vast variation comes when we compares these two mobiles with mi. Mi Beats and stands as a good competitor not only for oppo and vivo but also many other big Android gadgets even Samsung. The reason for this is it's perfect output with 4G technology and fingerprint technology like an other Android devices but at very “ ‘’low price’’”

So if u don't have the question of price then go for opportunities or else it's the best choice to go for mi.. All the best. Hope this helps u. Don't forget to upvote


♦ According to Ketan Patil, Administrative Officer at National Insurance Company Limited (2018-present):
Xiaomi
Due to better specs, better quality, better service and far less price.

♦ According to Subhajit Sadhya, Testing Engineer at Vivo (2014-present):
In short :

Xiaomi : Cheaper compared to others.

Oppo : Stunning exterior

Vivo : Stable software..

Go as ur demands..


♦ According to Sandeep Sinha, Smartphone enthusiast:
ALL HANDS DOWN …..XIAOMI

First of all I will let you know that OPPO and VIVO are two different brand names under the same parent company known as BBK Electronics .So, in-spite of comparing the three, I would be comparing two(XIAOMI and VIVO+OPPO) as both the companies OPPO AND VIVO work around the same standards and business styles .

Refer - OV as oppo +vivo .

So , the companies in comparison , XIAOMI and OV are completely different from their business approach and style.

Xiaomi struggles to give the best handset with the best hardware inside with minimum advertisement . OV try to advertise as much as they can , with a high margin to the sellers and getting those costs by providing very low end specification available at the respective price range.

Xiaomi is famous for its awesome value for money , whereas OV is famous for its advertisement. In a country like India , where Cricket is a multi billion dollar industry , OPPO is the brand sponsor for the international team with VIVO being the second in the bidding war.

OV has taken a completely different yet successful approach , specially in countries like India where the majority of the people still believe purchasing products offline as compared to online and people also tend to believe the salesman at the shop more than reading or viewing reviews on social media platforms . Selfie being one of the biggest craze in India makes people buy OPPO AND VIVO more , thus leading to the growth .

Being a tech nerd, I would always go for XIAOMI , because I can understand what specifications and hardware is being provided best in my budget and which company is giving me the best deal ,but , that is not the case with the majority . Till now, in its various price segments Xiaomi has been famous for giving the best value for money .

So , its up-to you to chose the better

one which spends as less as possible on advertisements and tries to provide as much as possible in the budget , whereas the other tries to advertise as much as possible and gain huge margins by selling low end hardware and specification in the given budget .

Please share the message, and make people realize how these big companies con the normal population .

Keep Calm , Rock on !


♦ According to Subhankar Das, former System Engineer at Tech Mahindra (2014-2016):
Oppo & Vivo are more or less same with different UI, their devices have good build quality and excellent cameras.

Xiaomi devices on other hand may not have the exquisite build quality and camera quality of Oppo and Vivo but they do cost cheaper than them.


♦ According to Vivek Pandey, B.E. Engineering & Xiaomi, Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya, Bhopal (2017):

Hi there I'm using Xiaomi phones since 2105 and now I'm using Redmi note 4 it's awesome I suggest u only Xiaomi phone bcoz mi phones are much good compare to other mobile company.

Oppo , vivo mobiles are much costly compare to mi phones if u want for only clicking photos then choose oppo vivo, but if u want full Mobile experience use mi phones these are awesome.

On July 18 mi another phone launching mi mix 2 hope it will be awesome phone worth it. Don't waste ur money in vivo oppo Samsung etc mi is the best.

♦ According to Nathan Dias, BE Civil Engineering & Civil Engineering, Don Bosco College of Engineering, Goa (2020):
Hands down Huawei.

Xiaomi cannot touch Huawei or Huawei owned Honor as of today. Huawei has Leica to take care of its cameras and needless to say, Huawei cameras are one of the best in the world. They are at par if not better than the IPhones and Samsungs of today.

As for processing power, Huawei owned HiSilicon Kirin chips are giving stiff competition to the Snapdragon 835 and the new Kirin 970 is already defeating the Snapdragon 845 in benchmarks.

So needless to say that Huawei and Xiaomi really aren't in the same league. It's as though comparing Sony and Samsung smartphones.

♦ According to Ziad Soliman, studied Computer Programming & Technology at Faculty of Computers & Informatics - Benha University
It's all about what you want more and what doesn't have to be the best in your phone

Xiomai doesn't have a good camera but huawei balance the components

That's you will see in many phones for both of them

So choose :)


♦ According to Asim Rauf, Mechatronics Engineer
Huawei is far better thn the competition. Xiomi doesn't offer much in terms of design or after sales. Huawei has better phones, technology and camera.


♦ According to Reshab Chhetri, Sleeps, Eats, Breathe Smartphone

For any comparison to be made, you need to find the parameters on which it is to be compared. So, any one saying straight out this brand is better can be called as person suffering from some form cognitive bias.

If you are buying phones ranging from 50–200$ get Xiaomi. They provide brilliant cheap phones, which are no way inferior, great build quality, superb price to performance ratio and unmatched value.

At price above 350$, it is really hard to recommend Xiaomi. Here is where brands like Huwaei kicks in. On paper you may find them almost identical, but with lecia lens and in house soc designs Huwaei is able to deliver superior experience. Xiaomi’s real competition is honor not Huwaei.

This is almost like comparing Blu mobiles with Samsung phones or One plus with Pixels. Xiaomi and Huwaei are as similar as Apple's and Oranges are. Period.


♦ According to Tony Abrego, studied Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering & Mass Communication at AT&T University:

Phone or mobile phone is almost a misnomer. These little card size things are computers. What do you plan to do with your phone? Look at the specs of phones you are buying and compare how they apply to you. If you need it for business you need a fast processor, and longevity of the product line. Chinese phone have not managed to form a relationship with carriers in the U.S. With that in mind, how will you get support when things go wrong. Samsung and Apple are battling for position and both have very good carrier relationship. Huawei has managed to be sold through better retail channels and that alone would favor to get better service or expierience. The operating system is often mentioned as much better than Xiaomi.


♦ According to Ansh Shrivastava
It depends on what two phones are you comparing. Putting both the brands side by side, you will notice that xiaomi uses snapdragon processors whereas huawei uses their own kirin processors. Xiaomi has miui (android one in mi A2) whereas huawei has emui.

To be honest, miui is better than emui but both of these are way worse than pure android. Talkin about the processors, both kirin and snapdragon give almost equal performance but snapdragon is better somtimes.

These were the differences in general. You can also compare 2 specific phones of these brands too. Well, they won't be good in some aspect.

Finally, you can't just say which company is better, you gotta compare 2 phones to find that out.


♦ According to Bibaswan Bhattacharya, studied at Union Academy, Kalchini:
Huawei doesn’t have that much phones in the midrange. But its sub-brand Honor has many good phones and they have great specs. But personally i prefer Xiaomi phones in the case of Value for money product. They offer much more specs at the same price range. If you compare Honor 7X with Redmi Note 5 pro( Note 5 in China), Note 5 pro wins undeniably. I would suggest you to go with Xiaomi. By the way, if you care about software updates then both the brands are very bad at providing them, still Huawei (and Honor) is better than Xiaomi in this.

♦ According to Tony Wu, Creator of science and technology
In fact, it is not good or not, because the positioning of the two brands is different. Huawei's mobile phone products have three series, the first one is business type P and MATE, the second is young NOVA series, the third is price/performance ratio. The high Y series has a price range of up to 6,000 yuan and a low price of 1,000 yuan or less. Of course, this is based on Chinese standards. This is from the price point of view, but the performance of Huawei mobile phones is still good, especially for taking pictures. Due to time, we will not send pictures. We can go to INS to see, there should be many beautiful pictures, plus Huawei is independent research and development. CPU processor Kirin 980, invested very high in research and development, is the world's top 50 multinational companies, quality is worth guaranteeing.

Xiaomi's products are mainly cost-effective, the price range is below 1000 yuan, between 1000-2000 yuan, more than 3,000 yuan, and the product types are many, the price is also good, but Xiaomi's independent research and development technology is small, the parts are mostly assembled, photographed and sound quality. The aspect is also quite good, and it can be considered if the budget is limited.

The above is my point of view, if there is a new point of view and then share.
