Hi there,
Lately, I have this problem with my laptop. When I play games, my laptop crashes. This happens random.. Sometimes, the game crashes when I'm playing for 10 seconds, the other time it crashes after playing 5-10 minutes. I already have this problem for a while, and I've tried to fix this problem by searching on forums etc. None of the things I did helped.
I tried:
- Delete my Graphic card drivers, and reinstall the newest.
- Installing an old driver.
- Playing without my battery in it.
- Adjust game options
None of those worked so.
When I crash, the only thing I can do is to manually turn off the computer. Sometimes, the game just stop, and I get a pop up, saying:
"video driver stopped working and has recovered. Video driver Intel Graphic Accelerator Drivers for Windows 7(R) stopped and has been recovered"
I feared that my GPU was broken, but I've runned several test (with Dell DIagnostics), and all of them passed.
So I don't really get what the problem of my laptop could be. I hope that I maybe can get some help by posting my own thread. Thanks in advance!
Regards, Ruben
