    Display Driver igfx stops responding and recovers

    When i play WoW: Burning Crusade during game play at some point the screen
    goes black and pops back up saying display driver igfx stopped responding and
    recovered. It happens often and makes gameplay very difficult.

    Which integrated Intel graphics chip do you have?

    you're video card is probably the problem, gotta update your
    drivers from Intel.com, or stick a fan on the side of your computer (might
    be over heating).

    Blow out the dust from your system, check your fans, if it's a notebook take
    it off the shag carpet. :)

    have you tried updating your drivers.

    omg im using a desktop hp and my computer freezes up every time i play
    -WoW- (when someone uses a spell or too many ppl in one area and
    recently just in cities even when far apart form ppl) -Civilization- or
    -Wizard 101 -

    Update your drivers first off. And the igfx, are you using the onboard video
    on your motherboard? You may look into upgrading to a discrete graphics card
    if your system is able.

    This happened a lot. Just update the driver and it should fix the issue.

    Since it's a notebook, you should always use the one from HP..... HP may
    purchase the system board and integrated graphics chipset from Intel but
    it's specifically designed for that particular notebook and may not be the
    same as any other Intel x1300 chipset.

    To find out exactly what you have, you can use the HP AutoDetection
    application.

    www.freeweb.hu/morthyr/wow3.jpg

    what whould be the problem?

    with the 3.0.9 patch it has a igfx stops and recovers problem.
    with 3.1.0 it works well, no problems...
    so strange

    Can you trick the notebook into installing the 2009 drivers by expanding the
    file (use WinZip or WinRar).... then going into the Device Manager, clicking
    on Display Driver, Update Driver and pointing it to the folder that contains
    the files you just expanded... preferably point it at the *.inf file.

    This does sometimes work.... and I've done it on notebooks that have the
    irritating habit of not liking the graphics driver that I want to install
    rather than the one that the notebook/Windows wants.

    I am having this problem as well except my screen goes black out of nowhere sometimes when i'm not even playing one of the games and then comes back and the display driver igfx stopped and has recovered pops up. i have a Gateway NV58 and bought it in early august.
