Fix 'Display Driver Stopped Responding' Error
When your screen goes black for 2 seconds and then flashes back with this error, your GPU has "Reset" itself. Againly fixes this automatically by adjusting the TdrDelay registry key, giving your GPU more time to finish complex tasks.
Why this happens
- TDR (Timeout Detection and Recovery): Windows thinks the GPU is stuck if it doesn't respond in 2 seconds.
- VRAM Overload: You have too many Chrome tabs and high-res apps open at once.
- Overclocking: If you (or your manufacturer) have boosted the GPU clock too high, it will become unstable.
Fix it manually
- Registry Edit: Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDriversand create a DWORDTdrDelaywith a value of8. - Lower Visuals: Drop your screen resolution or refresh rate (e.g., from 144Hz to 60Hz) to test stability.
- DDU Clean Install: Use "Display Driver Uninstaller" (DDU) to wipe your drivers and install fresh ones.
Fix it automatically with Againly
Againly safely manages your GPU's power and timeout thresholds, eliminating the "Crash and Recovery" cycle for good.
