Now please check if the error is still there. If it still fails, try method 3.

Method 3: Edit Registry to increase GPU processing time

Timeout Detection and Recovery is a Windows feature that can detect when the driver or video adapter hardware on your computer has completed a task longer than expected. When this happens, Windows will attempt to restore and reset the graphics hardware. If the GPU cannot recover and reset the graphics hardware within the allotted time (2 seconds), your system may become unresponsive and display the error message “ Display driver stopped responding and has recovered.”

Allowing Timeout Detection and Recovery more time to complete this operation by adjusting the Registry value can help fix the problem. Here's how:

Step 1: Exit all open applications.

Step 2: Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog box, then enter the command regedit and press Enter.

Open the Run dialog box then enter the command regedit and press Enter

Step 3: The Registry Editor window appears. Browse the folder by the following path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers

Then right-click on the area on the right side of the window and select New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value (if it's 32-bit windows) or QWORD (64-bit) Value (if it's 64-bit windows).

Select New - DWORD (32-bit) Value or QWORD (64-bit) Value

Name the file TdrDelay, then double click on the file, enter the value as 8, and click OK.

Name the file as TdrDelay then double click on the file and enter the value as 8

Now close the window, restart the computer and check if the error still occurs or not.

If you apply all the above methods without success, your video card is most likely faulty. Consider replacing the video card with a new one. Good luck!
