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. :)

I got the excactly same problem on my laptop, my fan is clear of anything, it only happens once in an while, its mainly when a lot of people are together in wow or somebody casts an spell...

I have downloaded the newest driver twice, so now i dont know what the problem could be...

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

i have updated my computer yet it still does it! ugh have any other advice? i don't want to have to play my games with a sledgehammer nearby

have you tried updating your drivers.

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.

i have got the same problem,
N when i wanted to update my vga card driver , i couldnt.
coz i have a hp compaq 6720s notebook , with an integrated Intel x3100, which is a member of intel 965 family as i know , the latest driver for x3100 is from 2008. the latest 965 driver is 2009 but x3100 told me it not compatible driver. so i couldnt use that driver, someone can tell me what1S the problem, and how can i update my 2008 driver, ty

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.

thanks but as i told, and as it shown in the link my laptop's vga driver is a Apr.2008 one, and that one is bugged.. so, what should i do? its the latest driver update as it shown on the link, u see.

with this driver my 3.2.0 patch in wow shows this grap. interface :

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.
