Question

Need help with Display Driver

Dec 29, 2012 2:03PM PST

I have a Dell Inspiron 620 with Windows 7 64 bit. Whenever I play games online, or watch videos my computer freezes and once it unfreezes I get an error that pops up and says "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" Under that it states "Display driver Intel Graphics Accelerator Drivers for Windows 7(R) stopped responding and has successfully recovered." Can someone help me fix this problem? I can't do anything that involves videos or online gaming with my computer.

but in the interim, it might help to know what GPU your system has. Is it an onboard GPU or a separate video card or ????
