Ok, let me explain: Under 'normal' circumstances, windows recovers your graphics card driver because it crashed. However, windows also does this, if your driver doesn't respond within 2 seconds. (You can change the time, as well as the general behaviour of windows by editing the registry).
That means: If you have a very complex OpenCL kernel, that computes for more than 2 seconds on one video frame, then windows will kill and restart your driver!
Since you have a GTX 570 i would assume that it's fast enough. So this shouldn't happen unless you use parameters like A=8, S=6 or so. But since i haven't tested the filter on that GPU i can only guess!
