I've seen this error twice and it has caused DS to crash My drivers are 1 version back but came out well after this version of DS.
I wanted to ask here before I started guessing and causing a headache if there was an easy answer. I can't reproduce this, and I've only seen it twice so it's not frequent enough to see what the causes may be.
System specs in signature.

If the display driver stops and is restarted it does often requiore a restart of Ds - I guess it's down to handles or the like no longer being valid. That said, there have been occasions when it is has picked up cleanly - and I haven't had the behaviour for a while - so i don't know what the current expected behaviour is. With something like this I would regard an application restart as prudent even if it isn't required.
Its a common error for me in many softwares
DS will usually keep rendering going to CPU though if it happens
Octane/Carrara, iClone etc are cactus and need restarting the latter is my biggest culprit if the scene exceeds my video RAM
I had not sent the project to render but the Iray preview mode was on. I was moving a figure in the scene, the interface froze up and the error popped up and my only option was to check on line for a solution or close the app.
