    Hi, my laptop, a week old, struggles with Adobe After Effects, resulting in the same error posted every time I'm dealing with keyframes.

    "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered"
    Display driver NVIDIA windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 267.21 stopped responding and has successfully recovered.

    Anyone?

    *So nobody wastes time yes it's been whitelisted/run with the 555m.

    I've been getting the same error with 3D programs and Photoshop, have also had a few crashes with an error about "no supported hardware found". The "no supported hardware" error generally comes after running the program successfully for a solid amount of time, 10-30 minutes. Both errors happen randomly . . . everything runs fine for days, then I'll have a bad spell for a few hours with crashes every few minutes. Or, just 1 or 2 crashes per day.

    This happens with 275.33 and the original Dell drivers. I'm starting to think there's a hardware error somewhere, maybe a flaky GPU power connection. I'm going to contact support to see what they have to say
