I was watching a 50min documentary on youtube and typing in a regular word document when all of a sudden, the screen blacked out for a second and this notification appeared on my screen..   Is this something I need to be concerned about, or just my laptop having a little spasm? I'm pretty dense in the computer subject so any comments would be helpful. Thanks! |

I don't think you have anything to worry about.  |

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Basically,it's a sign that whatever caused the driver to crash,it restarted itself without restarting the whole PC.Your work's safe so it's fine.Enjoy your day |

It's fine, no problem to worry about. Just a laptop spasm.

Just make sure your drivers are updated.

Your driver is quite ill-mannered, teach it some politeness.

Buy a new laptop and send me the broken, defective laptop you have. It is not safe for you to have!

A single driver crash is most definitely a (software) glitch and nothing to worry about. But if those crashes start to happen frequently, you have either a severe software problem (that could get fixed by installing a different display driver, using System Restore or ultimately reinstalling the OS) or a hardware problem.
Again, if this happened only once or only during a certain task, don't worry about it.

This is the downside of windows becoming better.
In the old days this would have meant a blue screen, a restart and the usual curses to microsoft.
Now you are becoming paranoid and ask online if something fishy is going on.

Make sure there is no malicious miner on your system. Other than that, driver crashes while browsing or watching videos are NOT common and could hint at bad or corrupted drivers or a more serious hardware problem.

and in the future, your computer will go online and ask if something is wrong :-) |
