    Hi Friend

    I thought this will help you a little bit try it , (My Own Tricks)

    1:- Please clear the the cache of your display properties

    2:- and yes you already update your display driver but i advised please reinstall the driver

    3:- might be you are using a high res. game which required maximum no of framing so avoid it

    try it

    To resolve this issue, follow the steps in the methods starting with method 1 and then proceding with method 2 if that solution does not resolve the issue.

    Method 1: Increase the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) processing time by adjusting the Timeout Detection and Recovery registry value

    Timeout Detection and Recovery is a Windows feature that can detect when video adapter hardware or a driver on your PC has taken longer than expected to complete an operation. When this happens, 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 (2 seconds), your system may become unresponsive, and display the error “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.

    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 7, see Back up the registry

    To have us modify the registry value for you, go to the "Fix it for me" section. If you prefer to modify the registry value yourself, go to the "Let me fix it myself" section.

    Fix it for me

    To fix this problem automatically, click the Fix it button or link. Then click Run in the File Download dialog box, and follow the steps in the Fix it wizard.

    Method 2: Investigate possible issues with visual effects or background programs

    Having multiple programs, browser windows, or email messages open at the same time can use up memory, and cause performance issues. Try closing any programs and windows that you are not using.

    You can also adjust your PC 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 clicking the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type Performance Information and Tools, and then, in the list of results, click Performance Information and Tools.

    Click Adjust visual effects, if you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Click the Visual Effects tab, click Adjust for best performance, and then click OK.

    Note: For a less drastic option, select Let Windows choose what’s best for my computer).
