Screen driver stopped answering

[King Of Monra]

So everytime I start a game, it does start, and after a minute or two, the screene starts to flicker, and small black squares turn up all over the screene (sometimes it goes full black or turns into a light purple green colour) and then the game gets turned off.

 

The message I am getting is "Skjermdriveren sluttet å svare, og har blitt gjennopprettet. Skjermdriver AMD sluttet å svare, og er blitt gjennopprettet". "

 

And that is English for (I think) "screendriver stopped answering and has been restored, screendriver ambd stopped answering and has been restored"

 

I've only tried it with far cry 3 and skyrim so far, but I'm pretty sure it will happend with all the games.

 

I updated the driver, that didn't work either.

 

Is it the graphic card?

 

I did try to remove some dust inside the computer yesterday, but everything worked fine after I did that, then today when I turned it on and wanted to play, this happend....

Have you done a clean install of the drivers, or did you just install new ones over the old drivers?

 

If not then use this tool as well, and follow the guide: http://www.guru3d.com/content_page/guru3d_...er_sweeper.html

 

 

After you done this, install the latest drivers again and see if it works.

Graphic card is dying. Either due to age or dust being stuck in the vents and GPU dies a slow and horrible death.

Remove card and clean out the dust. Then try again. If it's still thing, then uninstall current drivers and install the latest drivers.

If both options don't work, time to get a new video card or do the oven method
