hello DavidRox, please update your graphics driver - this should be the right link for your model: www.geforce.com/drivers/results/48847

& though probably not related to the issue in your question, please also keep your plugins up to date: www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/

Hello MadPerson,

Yay! problem now solved. I went to the recommended site fed in my system details "Asus Notebook NVIDIA GeForce GT 220M 1GB OS Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit" and the site recommended I download:

http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/306.23/306.23-notebook-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql.exe

Downloaded, installed, tested for a day or two and no crashes of the display driver since - Fixed.

Thank you for your help!

D avid Rox
