Zepto 6024W + latest Intel graphics driver (15.7)

I have recently been getting an error message "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered" on resuming from hibernation. Windows Update gave me a new version of the Intel graphic driver just before Christmas (this is version 15.7). However, worse than the error message has been a blank screen on a couple of occasions.

Today I reverted to the previous Intel driver (15.6) and the error message has gone away. It therefore seems that there is an incompatibility between Intel graphics driver 15.7 and the Zepto 6024W BIOS and I would advise 6024W owners (am I the only one?) to be cautious about letting Windows Update install the new driver. Zepto also need to investigate the cause of the incompatibility.

Thanks for the heads up - and your not the only 6024-user

I am thou mainly using Ubuntu which has it own problem with hibernation etc...

 

I've got an HP Pavilion that's having the same problem with 15.7 - After waking from hibernate, it actually reboots, then Vista's helper tells me there's a Graphics Driver problem. What gives? Anyone found a solution?

 

Intel released a new driver (15.73) on the 10th January. I installed it a few days ago and have had no problems so far. I don't know if the long list of fixes in the release notes apply to just this latest version. I see that one is a fix for a blank screen after 50 resumes from suspend / hibernation. I have had that (but don't know if I had reached the 50) and had been inclined to blame the Zepto BIOS.
