| The source of this message is TDR (Timeout Detection and Recovery), a watchdog that triggers when a driver doesn't finish an operation in (by default) two seconds.

| Windows will assume the (graphics card) driver is hanging, will reset the graphics subsystem, so that you don't have to restart the computer to recover.

| Updating your video card drivers may well help -- because chances are its maker recently got a lot of bug reports and fixed it. <!-- Specific rather than generic drivers are a good idea anyway, or at least be tuned to the presence of TDR.-->

| | |
| | |
| While two seconds is a ''lot'' (in terms of drivers), computers that are old, slow, and extremely busy may occasionally see false triggers.
| |
| | |
| You can change some registry values to set the timeout higher, or even disable TDR (I wouldn't recommend it - waiting longer is still handier than a hard computer reset).
