Windows Display Driver stopped responding

With about 15km to the end of the first stage of TDF the screen goes blank (white) and then I get the above message and the display goes into VGA mode (similar to that on safe mode).

I haven't yet completed a single days racing, if I don't get the above the screen goes all fuzzy and you can't see whats going on.

Any suggestions?

Well it sounds like a graphical problem, but your system and graphics card seem to be good.

Is it just the first stage of the TdF?
have you tried running the game on minimum settings? (i.. no shaders, cities, spectators, etc.)

I know you have good stats but it is still worth playing around with the settingsWink

Are your drivers up-to-date - most important, your gfx-card drivers ?

Haven't had a chance to try anything for a week or so but it's still doing i this morning.

I've got the patch installed now, I've used latest drivers and also my older set (which seem more stable on other programs). I've got the settings at minimum.

The game works perfectly well like this until it all just stops and tells me the display driver has stopped working. Usually near the end of a stage but it's not on every stage. I can finish the Paris Roubaix for example but I've attempted a career with Barloworld. As I crossed the line to win stage 2 of Giro Della Callabria it happened again so seems fairly random.

Any thoughts?

Can anyone suggest anything before I go and buy a new graphics card?
