DVP11 - Display Driver Stopped Responding and has Recovered

Hey guys,

The past month I have been having issues with the display driver.  Occasionally, when I am in desktop mode (using Microsoft office products), the screen will flash completely black for a few seconds,  Once my desktop reappears, a message will pop up from the notification tray stating that the "display driver stopped responding and has recovered."  I have updated a few drivers, but nothing seems to help.  Is there any particular reason why this keeps happening?  Any solutions? Thanks.
