Am always having trouble while am using Firefox. I’m using Sony vaio VPCCW1S1T and while am using fire fox may be 3-4 time a day my display adapter crashing. With error message and return back just after 2 second. My laptop's main board changed by SONY last month, so its brand new.

I Wish I can add screenshot here.

PS.I never had this problem while am using Internet Explorer.

Make sure that you have the newest display drivers. Don't assume that just because it was repaired recently that the latest drivers are installed.

If the drivers are up to date, try disabling hardware acceleration in Options > Advanced --> General - Browsing = the 3rd item

Dear the-edmeister thanks for your answer, but I have installed latest Display Adapter driver update to my laptop.

Disabling hardware acceleration doesn’t help neither but thank you anyway.

I think that there should be NVIDIA drivers with a version number of 275 or greater, so your 259 version may be outdated.

What is the date of that NVIDIA driver?

You can check the NVIDIA site to see if there is a more recent version for your graphics display adapter.

Product : NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M

Current Installed Driver : 259.57

Latest Driver Update: The manufacturer of this system requires that you download the driver for your GPU from their support site.

So, already updated to latest driver :( with no result.

I have the same issue. I have the latest update for my GTX 460. I have version 280.26. It only crashes while using firefox. I think it started after the latest Nvidia driver update.
