I have an HP Pavilion dv7 Entertainment PC with a NVIDIA 9600M GT graphics card. Had the Open GL Driver not responding issue. After reinstalling drivers etc… nothing worked until….. I realized that there was a lot of heat under my palm on the left of the touchpad (think the disk drive is there. Any way after thinking about it I realized the cooling fan seemed to run a lot but still pretty warm. I blew out the air intake at the back of the laptop which produced a good cloud of dust. Note Book runs much cooler now and the Not responding graphics driver problem is gone. NOT SPECULATION – PROBLEM IS GONE. For my HP Note Book this was the fix. I believe the excessive heat was causing some kind of instruction/data or whatever transfer failure or else the graphics card itself failed due to heat. Think what you want but my problem is gone after blowing out the dust from the air/fan intake of the Note Book.

OMG this is maddening! …and it’s gotten worse! Vista 32 Home Basic, AMD (2650e proc.), NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430.
I’m not a gamer, do nothing much more than check emails, record/play music, an occasional DVD played, some web jpeg manipulation, maybe two online played in a year. I got a virus after 1.5 years and suddenly all hell breaks lose. Removed the virus but video is slow and studdery (ANY video), BSOD, nvlddmkm stopped working bs is happening, rundll32 issues I think, ALL programs and operations (shutdown included) are extremely slow, purchased nearly $200 bucks in software for reg., drivers, clutter, blah blah…getting worse. Asking: Is there one last solution out there before i reinstall Vista or upgrade to W7…or set toss pc out the window?

my fix : i replaced new motherboard – SAME problem

i replaced new power supply – SAME problem

i replaced new cpu, ram – SAME problem

turns out, it was HEAT.

it was summer already, with quite a high room temperature to begin with, + the GPU temp.. made it run at 70degrees idle..

in game it would go up to 90 degrees, then get the nvlddmkm error.

I had to put a normal house fan next to my open box, let it blow onto my peace of shit Nvidia. Never had the problem again.

so yea guys.

HEAT.

I’ve started getting this since installing the latest set of Microsoft patches, that being said though the problem doesn’t occur If I switch to my discrete adapter (laptop has Intel GMA and an nVidia and can switch) so the issue seems to sit solely with the nVidia developers to work on the issue.

Yes, it may well be a problem with windows causing a fault with the driver but if that is the case why do other manufacturers not seem to have the problem?

i am just about to shit myself over this error.. i work my ass off at work, when i get home all i want to do is play a bit of call of duty .. but no.. every fucking 5 minutes my screen truns off. and freezes. with this error.

every night i must put movies onto my PSP so i can watch them on the bus.
when i get in bed.. i let the converter run to put it on my PSP.. when i wake up. my pc is fucking frozen and my movies are incomplete.. probably crashed 10 minutes later when i closed my eyes.

now i have nothing to watch 1 hour on the bus.. what the fuck

this error has dramatically effected my life. i REFUSE to replace any parts. everything was. and then just this happened 1 week ago.. yes it was a hot day.. so what! that could not have caused it to overhead.. and sitting in my heated room just pisses me more off each time it crashes.

i want my fucking life back!

April 10th of 2007 to June 10th of 2010.

All makes and models of laptops and desktop computers. All different models of hardware suppliers/video cards.

What is the common theme here?

MICROSOFT software issues with hardware manufacturer drivers!

This is Microsoft’s problem to fix and there still is no acknowledgment of what the universal cause is.

Come on Microsoft, you are supposed to have the world’s best and brightest engineers and software designers.

3+ years is long enough!
FIX THIS DAMN PROBLEM!

I’ve been having this problem as well. It just started in the last couple of months. Recently it has gotten pretty severe, but only ever shows up when I am playing WOW. I’ve tried a few solutions that I’ve read about but none have solved my problem yet. I’m going to try the tweakforce drivers and see if that has any positive effect on my system. I’ll post the results here.
