To update the driver you do the following:

Step 1 : Right-click the This PC icon (My computer) and select Manage

Right-click on the driver and select Update driver

Step 3 : A new window appears, select Search automatically for update driver software

Now the driver update process will take place, please wait a while for the update to complete.

Step 1 : Right-click the This PC icon and select Properties , in the System window, select Advanced system settings.

Step 2: In the System Properties dialog box, select the Advanced tab, then in the section Perfomance select Settings

In the dialog box Performance Options tab Visual Effects you select Adjust for best performace to turn off the effects. Finally click Apply and click OK to save.

Now you can check if the error still exists or not, if it still does, try method 3.

Method 3: Edit the Registry to increase GPU processing time

Timeout Detection and Recovery is a Windows feature that can detect the time when the video adapter driver or hardware on your computer finishes the task longer than expected. When this happens, Windows will attempt to restore and reset the graphics hardware. If the GPU cannot recover and reset the graphics hardware within the time allowed (2 seconds), your system may not respond and display an error message ' Display driver stopped responding and has recovered '.

Allowing the Timeout Detection and Recovery feature to allow more time to complete this operation by adjusting the Registry values, which can help fix the problem. How to do the following:

Step 1: Exit all open applications.

Step 2: Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog box, then type regedit and press Enter

Step 3 : Registry Editor window appears, browse for the following folder:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlGraphicsDrivers

Then right-click on the area to the right of the window and select New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value (if it's 32-bit windwos) or QWORD (64-bit) Value (if it's 64-bit windows).

Name the file TdrDelay then double click on the file for 8 and click OK .

Now turn off the window, restart the computer and check if the error still occurs or not.

If all of the above fails, it is likely that your video card is faulty, consider replacing a new video card. Good luck!
