"Display driver has crashed and recovered"?

Hi,
Whenever I play any sort of game, whether Hon/LoL/Minecraft, my screen always freezes for about 10-15 seconds and then works again, and I get the "Display driver has stopped working and has recovered" error. This seems to happen at random intervals; sometimes it'll happen once or twice every hour. More recently, it's been crashing at LEAST 4 times every hour. Sometimes my screen freezes then just BSOD's.

Here I've attached my DMP files as well as snippings of CPU-Z. Please help!

Couldn't see your dmp files but try the app found here SIV - System Information Viewer and see what your temperature is for the GPU. It does sound like you have a possible overheating problem..

It says 30 degrees!

Is that temp at idle? What about when gaming? Start a game and see if you can alt-tab back to the desktop and check the temp.

Okay I started up Minecraft and now my GPU temp is cruising at 39-40...

Edit: My display driver stopped working again but when i checked the GPU temp it was only at 33

Hi, thanks for the reply. Your temps look fine so could you please list which driver your using and if your system is up to date with all drivers including bios..

Could you also include you dmp files. Motherboard support page: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=4150#ov

Sorry but could you specify what you mean by which driver I am using? My video card drivers are all up to date.

-I just updated my BIOS driver to the latest one.

Ok if your using the latest driver then fine. I checked your dmp file and it seems Aeria ignite is the cause of your issues. Either try updating to the latest version or re-installing. http://www.aeriagames.com/playnow/ignite

Hmm okay so I just uninstalled Aeria ignite and tried playing Minecraft again, but after around 5 minutes the same error occurred

Well that's ok as it's a process of elimination at times. Your dump file was also showing an error message for your RAM but was hoping it was the above app causing this. You need to test that your RAM is ok. Download this app Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool and run it on one stick at a time. This will ensure you know for sure which stick has errored out.
