    Hello,

    I formatted my computer about 1 or 2 months ago, since then i didn't played any games or used any programs with lots of graphics requirement so i didn't notice my problem.

    My computer wasn't using my graphics card properly, after realized that i did updated my graphics driver with the ones from the HP website and everything gone crazy. I started getting "Graphics Driver Stopped Responding..." errors whenever i start a game or launch google chrome.

    After deleting graphics driver, using driver sweeper on to clean everything and reinstalling drivers from HP website nothing changed. So i decided to use recovery to format computer again.

    And same thing started to happen again but more frequently, even at the desktop i was getting same error every 15-20 secs. I did barely uninstalled everything about graphics driver and using computer without drivers right now. Couldn't play anything but can use Chrome without crashing for now.

    Things I Tried

    - Cleared everything about graphics driver and installed drivers with HP Recovery Manager
    - Cleared everything about graphics driver and installed drivers from HP website
    - Added TdrLevel with data of 0 to the Regedit (under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/GraphicsDriver)
    * Changing Regedit only made the error mesage disappear, i could feel the graphics driver error stopping working (freezing constantly)
