    This only happens while in a browser.  Screen goes total black, then comes back and error message says:  "display driver stopped responding and has recovered".

    I have a Dell All-In-One. Windows 7 Home Premium.  The error message once told me 'Intel... "I didn't get it fast enough.  So, that must tell me my driver is by Intel?

    I've followed all the 'help tutorials'.  I've done Windows Updates and Recommended updates for anything possible.

    Help does suggest getting the driver from original manufacturer.  Should I try tomorrow or next day?  Go to Dell or go to Intel?
    I don't know computer jargon, so I don't really know what to say except what I'm saying here.

    This is scaring me.  I fear my computer will crash.

    Thanks, Pennie :)

    Posting the computer model next time would help. :) You're correct on downloading the correct driver from the Dell support site only.
