Firefox is slow - How to make it faster. What good is that super fast Internet connection when your browser is running at dial-up speed? This article will point you. I just installed windows 7 did some restart (till it updated all the driver and hotfixes) installed firefox 4(no addons no bookmarks) and still if i try to open 2/3. We might be at Peak TV now, but we’ve been at Peak Books for at least a century, and if you enjoy reading, it’s physically impossible to read every book you want.
Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered- Over and over. It seems the only solution that has worked for anyone (other than underclocking or turning options off) is replacing the video card with one that takes completely different drivers. Thus, I don't believe that any of these responses are correct. This is a Windows (Vista & 7) problem that effects/corrupts both n. Vidia and ATI cards/drivers. Work- arounds don't address the cause of the problem.
I've got a customer's system with: Windows 7 Pro 6. P5. 5A- UD3. Ri. 5 7. X2. GB Kingston 1. Corsair VX4. 50. WAsus GF9.
GTAntec 3. 00etc. We set up the system at their home and it ran fine for 2 weeks, then started getting the . I replaced their video card with 2 different brand new identical video cards.. We changed to several different drivers, but none solved the issue. I replaced all hardware except the MB and CPU, but it still errored.
I checked BIOS, but everything there was correct and I wasn't about to underclock anything just to solve this. I took their components back to the shop and put them in another system with Win 7 Pro 6. It ran 2. 4/7 for a week with no problems at all. So nothing is wrong with their hardware. I took 2 other vid cards back to their house along with their old one, the other 2 used completely different drivers (n. Vidia GF7. 90. 0GTX and an ATI 4. Both worked fine.
Then I uninstalled all drivers, put their original 9. GT and all other components back in and loaded the most current n. Vidia drivers again. This time no more errors. Their system has been working fine with the original components for 3 weeks now. So my conclusion: this is a Windows problem with drivers and hardware which can only be fixed by replacing the video card with one requiring completely different drivers. Then you can go back to the original drivers and video card without problems (for who knows how long before they become corrupted again).
Something in Windows (Vista & Win 7) is corrupting drivers from both Intel and ATI. MS needs to get off their butts and resolve this once and for all. Its been going on since Vista was introduced and although the problems seem less frequent, they're still happening.
