Video driver for Server 2008
Windows Server Standard SP1
This is installed on a Dell Optiplex 380 PC which is using the Intel G41 Express Chipset. Any time I do anything memory intensive, I get a repeated messages saying "Display driver igfx stopped responding and has successfully recovered" and the display
gets a bunch of lines in it. Often times it also blue screens right after this and references igdkmd32.sys.
I didn't set up the server but it looks like it is using driver version 8.15.10.2413 which I think is a Vista/7 driver.
Any ideas?

look for latest drivers in dell website and install them,. i think as it is optiplex you willnot find server drivers. but installing latest drivers might help. Thanks Uday Kiran,

No it is still on R1. Unfortunately the drivers are the latest.

It is better to check the display card vendors website for latest display drivers.
BOSD is due to installation of wrong display drivers.
I suggest to use Virtual PC if your are using windows server 2008 version on PC.

Hi,
Dell Optiplex 380 is a desktop PC and not server machine. On Dell’s website, you can find drivers for Windows Vista 32-bit, Windows
7 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit. If there is no drivers for Windows Server 2008, you can try to install the drives for Windows Vista or Windows 7 on a Windows Server system. However, there is no guarantee that it will work.
By the way, if the drivers for Windows Vista or Windows 7 don’t work, you may try to contact Intel to check whether they have any
Windows Server system drivers for Intel G41.
In addition, on a Windows Server system, you may try to leave it with drivers come with the operating system.
Best Regards,

This driver worked for me:

I use the 380 as a dev box, and a server os should work on a desktop box, there are not many differences between the two.
