Sometimes when im on my computer it will randomly go blank all of a sudden, and than a message will pop up saying the "display driver igfx stopped responding and has successfully recovered". Can anyone tell me why this does this and how to fix it or prevent it?
Does it randomly go blank or does it happen when you're trying to play a game or movie?

Sounds like a problem with the graphics card or drivers.
Just at random times I could be doing anything.
Is it Windows XP or Vista?
Vista
It's a bug with Vista. Try doing the Windows updates and see if that helps it.
I have. I update my computer every time updates are avalable. At first I just though something was wrong with the monitor but now it has been doing it frequently. But thanks for the help.
I have a Mac, but the Windows Vista computer that I've used has the exact same problem. Seems to be a bug with Vista. I'm sure Microsoft will figure it out sometime.

It seems like the graphics on Vista are just too much for a normal video card to handle.
