Nvidia driver stopped and recovered. Windows 10

I just upgraded to Windows 10 and ever since, my screen will go black for 2 or 3 seconds, then this error message pops up.

Dell Vostro 230, Nvidia 8400 GS.  All latest drivers (used DDSU to uninstall and only installed driver).  No issues at all on W7, may roll back if I can't get this to stop.  Happens mostly in Firefox (every 15 minutes), but at least once a day on any windows screen.  Usually it "recovers" but sometimes windows just stay black (can still mouse around).  Have to reboot to fix.  Suggestions welcome.  I'll buy a new card if I know it will fix it.  I don't play games at all.

    The ATI drivers are also having STOP 0x116 Video TDR errors.

    Go into  power management and set Sleep to NEVER

    Go into advanced power management and set spin down hard drives to 480 minutes

    Go into bios and set S3 sleep to S1 instead.

    Thanks, will give the last item a shot.  Already had other 2 on never.  Not sure how sleep has anything to do with browsing or opening a window, but if it works I owe you a beer.

    Edit, happened again, so went back to W7.  Really see no real difference (and a few better things about Start menu in W7.  No more black screens!  Will buy a new W10 someday (soon).
