Topic: my display driver keeps dying

Anonymous A started this discussion 11 years ago #45,677

How do I diagnose the issue? Im using tools available to me, but they seem to test my processor, memory, and hard drives, not my gpu.

It keeps crashing on games. At first it was only early release games, so I assumed it was something with the games no being optimized. I always check my drivers, so it was never that. Now it happens with a lot more games. The more graphics intensive games its only happened once recently with, which.

Also, dxdiag shows no problems with the display driver.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the display drivers?

I think macs are fine machines, just not the best machine for me.
