This problem actually has been happening for the past 1 year.

Every time I switched on the computer and arrived on the main screen, the computer would blacked out for 5-10 seconds before the screen came back. Then, I get the pop-up message on the bottom left saying "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered."

Today, something happened for the first time. My screen suddenly went black and couldn't get back the screen. I forced switch off and on about 3 times but couldn't get any screen. All black. Then, I kept it off. After resting my computer for 30mins, I decided to switch it back on and finally get the screen.

How do I fix this? Is there a problem with a computer part?
Is it the graphic card spoil or something else? What should I do? (I don't have IT knowledge. Mine is a custom PC which I let shop make it for me several years ago.)

Edited update: My graphic card is Nvidia GeForce GTX 670.

TS, you write a lot of your problem, yet the most critical of all is the graphics card but no detail at all.

Go into windows safe mode. Uninstall the drivers first. Boot to windows, then download an older drivers. See how it goes.
