"Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered"

It keeps appearing and it closes my game(Watch Dogs 2).Played the game for about 16h and nothing happened until the cocaine mission came.Every time I play the game(max 10 min) this error appears and it crashes the game.Looked up the"solutions" on the net but no one works(I even rolled back the latest driver>tried the game unsuccefully>installed the new driver again>still crashes).What can I do?I even put the lowest settings possible.
Intel i7-5500 2.4GHz(4 CPUs),Nvidia Geforce 940M,8GB RAM,Windows 10 64x
The game runs at 30-45 FPS on normal/low setting despite my specs.

Windows registry: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/drivers/display/tdr-registry-keys
Set a larger value for TdrDelay, like 5 (decimal).
Restart computer after changing setting.

NVIDIA GeForce 940M equipped with GDDR5? Otherwise, a huge memory bandwidth bottleneck.
And do realize that Intel Core i7-5500U has 2 cores, with Hyper-threading, not 4 physical cores.

Did you perfom a clean install

Might be overheating. What model laptop is it? And the 940m is not a great video card for gaming, so the fps you are getting are probably about right for your settings.
