    I'm wondering if anyone experienced this issue and know of a resolution to fix it? I've got this error six times so far. "Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 285.62 stopped responding and has sucessfully recovered".

    Thanks in advanced.

    Yep, known problem. Use the older WHQL drivers.

    It's typically a driver problem. Either do as suggested and roll back to the last WHQL drivers with a clean driver install, or try the newest BETA drivers. The best idea is to choose the clean install option when running the package to make sure that you don't leave anything behind. If you still notice that message, you may want to run driversweeper to completely remove all of the drivers and then try installing again.

    BETA 290.53: Graphics Driver - Verde 290.53 Driver - GeForce
    WHQL 280.26: Graphics Driver - Verde 280.26 Driver - GeForce

    I've had one display drive crush error once. Here's the thing, I've had the error once so far and haven't experienced any further errors.

    I would recommend using this tutorial: http://forum.notebookreview.com/asu...pdate-nvidia-drivers-any-windows-version.html

    As stated many times beta drivers crash, and just googled your driver and saw several people had the same crash, the solution was to revert and install a little older or just a WHQL-stable driver :)

    i only have a 560M in my Sager, but when i upgraded to 285.xx, i started getting that, then i downgraded to 275.xx, and i still had the problem, so i went to 280.26, and i have not had any issues. it might be what shipped with my laptop last year.

    I don't think drivers problem, at least if wasn't for me, All i had to do to fix it was "uncheck" hardware acceleration on mozilla firefox and also un-check VC1 (DXVA) on Media player home cinema.

    I never had another crash after that not on the WHQL nor the Beta verde drivers.

    Enjoy!
