If you've been having problems with the display drivers crashing then recovering (I know you have plum), take a look at this post:

and specifically this comment:
Now I found this setting yesterday and I haven't had the error since, however I was only getting it sometimes, not necessarily every day, but usually I would see it once a day. What I'm saying is, I don't know if this has fixed the problem, but so far so good so if you want to try it out, here is where to find the setting he's talking about.
3D settings>Manage 3D settings>Global settings>Power Management Mode
Set it as he says and see if it helps.

I fixed it by using "Prefer Max performance; instead of 'Adaptive' in Nvidia Control Panel
