Hi rasa,
You've posted in exactly the right place and welcome here. When you upgraded to Win 7 SP1, it may have interferred with which drivers were being used. When you say the GMA stops responding, what do you mean - does the screen freeze and if so, what is the messatge given during the BSOD crash?
You could check that you are using all the latest Win 7 drivers for your board but be aware that the ones on Intels Website (you'll have to click the 'discontinued' radio button to see the relevant selections for your board)may be older than the ones built into Win 7 SP1. You'll need to look in device manager and see what drivers are currently installed. Below is a screenshot of my G45 (rather than your G35) driver entry, what does yours say for all the details in the window? Were the relevant Intel Chipset drivers installed after you first installed Win 7 and before installing any other drivers?
Thanks for your response. But the screen freezes and the BSOD flashes for a second so could not read what the
exact message is. I have checked the driver and here is the screenshot. Plus I am attaching a log of the system file. Let me know if anything else is required. SP1 installation worked fine and it did not show any drivers that were interfering.

That entry 'Graphics Driver Version: Not Detected' is a bit of a worry. My MSINFO32.exe results differ quite a bit to yours so which 'system file' is your data from? It'd be worth attempting an uninstal (using the Control Panel 'Programs and Features' function) amd then reboot. Win 7 should take care of itself in terms of rebooting with native basic drivers. You could then redownload the latest drivers for your board (which is the version you already have that ends in 1930) and have another crack at installing them by running the exe file. Make sure you do that as first thing after the PC boots into Windows with no other programs opened and any Antivirus software turned off.
If you still have problem, what does DirectX's reporting function dxdiag have to say about the graphics setup on this PC?
I uninstalled and windows reinstalled this driver. Here is the screenshot. I will check by watching you tube videos
and will get back to you.
Thanks..
