VPU Recover

[Arundel]

I have an ATI 8500 AIW card and recently every time I try to play 3d games after a few seconds they crash and I get the VPU recover error message: "Reset Graphics Accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands" I've tried installing virtually every driver version with the always the same result. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Thanks.

have you tried disabling the feature altogether? i did that and cut down on lockups.

 

[Arundel]

Yeah but then it just crashes without any chance at recovery.

 

[gloval]

did you try rolling the drivers back to 3.7? i use 3.7s on my 9700 and rarely lock up. as opposed to constantly with 3.8+

I've installed every version I could with no change.

Be sure to disable fast writes in your bios and the smartgart ATI tab.
